The result is a spectacular collector's hybrid with dramatic texture, rich colour, and outstanding tropical presence. 🌿✨

☀️ Light

• Thrives in bright, indirect light
• Medium light is tolerated, but growth slows noticeably
• Avoid direct sun — velvet foliage can scorch or lose its rich finish
• Bright filtered light encourages larger, darker leaves

💧 Water

• Keep lightly moist, but never soggy
• Allow the top layer of the substrate to dry slightly between waterings
• Use a chunky, airy Anthurium mix (bark, perlite, coco coir and sphagnum moss)
• Excellent drainage is essential for healthy roots

🌫️ Humidity

• Prefers high humidity (70–85%)
• Higher humidity encourages larger foliage and cleaner unfurling
• Good airflow is just as important as humidity
• Warm, stable conditions produce the best growth

🍽️ Feeding

• Feed every 4–6 weeks during active growth
• Use a balanced diluted liquid fertiliser
• Reduce feeding during cooler months when growth slows

🌱 Quick Tips

• Stable conditions produce the best velvet foliage
• Avoid disturbing new leaves while they're unfurling
• Filtered or rainwater is beneficial if your tap water is hard
• Repot only when necessary, as Anthuriums prefer being slightly root-bound
