Anthurium Black Leafed Morona

This dramatic primary hybrid, a cross between Anth. insigne and Anth. nigrolaminum 'Gigi', showcases exceptionally dark, almost black foliage with a velvety texture and subtle iridescence that shifts in different lighting conditions, creating an eye-catching focal point in any collection.

• Light: Bright indirect light with 50-70% shade cloth; direct sun will damage the delicate dark foliage and reduce the striking coloration.
• Temperature: Intermediate to warm grower. Daytime 70-80°F (21-27°C), nighttime 60-68°F (16-20°C). Thrives with consistent warmth and moderate temperature variation.
• Humidity: 70-85% with excellent air circulation; high humidity is essential for maintaining the velvety leaf texture and preventing leaf edge browning.
• Watering: Keep potting medium consistently moist but well-drained; water when top inch approaches dryness, typically every 4-6 days depending on conditions.

Additional Notes

Best grown in chunky aroid mix with orchid bark, perlite, and sphagnum moss for optimal drainage and aeration, inheriting the dark foliage from both parents.
