A hybrid of Anth. Urban Jungle × Anth. Ingrid de Portilla, two vigorous hybrid Anthuriums selected for their bold foliage and strong growth. It develops broad, cordate leaves with prominent venation, deep burgundy petioles, and a compact yet lush upright habit.
-
Light: Bright indirect light with 50–70% shade cloth; avoid direct sun, which can bleach or scorch the foliage.
-
Temperature: 60–75°F (16–24°C); an intermediate-warm grower that thrives with stable temperatures and no cold drafts.
-
Humidity: 70–90%; sustained high humidity encourages large leaf development and vibrant petiole coloration.
-
Watering: Water thoroughly when the top layer of substrate begins to dry; avoid waterlogged conditions and never let the roots dry out completely.
-
Growth Habit: Upright and lush, producing broad cordate leaves with striking burgundy petioles; this cross combines the bold architectural presence of Urban Jungle with the ornamental refinement of Ingrid de Portilla.
Additional Notes
Arrival & Establishment Recommendation: Upon arrival, plant promptly in a well-draining aroid mix (bark, perlite, and sphagnum) and water thoroughly to rehydrate the roots; allow the plant to acclimate in a humid, shaded spot for the first two weeks before introducing to its permanent position.
