Anthurium Doc Block Michelle 9cm

🌿 Anthurium ‘Doc Block Michelle’ Care Guide

Doc Block Michelle is all about collector luxury — bold velvet Anthurium energy with dramatic form, rich texture, and the kind of foliage that makes people immediately ask questions. This is premium jungle nonsense in the best possible way. 🌿✨

☀️ Light

• Thrives in bright, indirect light
• Avoid direct sun — velvet foliage can scorch or lose that rich finish
• Medium light is tolerated, but growth slows noticeably

💧 Water

• Keep lightly moist, but never soggy
• Let the top layer dry slightly between waterings
• Use a chunky airy Anthurium mix (bark, perlite, coco coir, sphagnum) with excellent drainage

🌫️ Humidity

• Prefers high humidity (70–85%)
• Dry air = crispy edges, poor unfurling, and general collector disappointment
• Best in humid rooms, cabinets, or greenhouse-style setups

🍽️ Feeding

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

🌱 Quick Tips

• Stable warmth matters — no cold drafts
• Velvety foliage is delicate, so avoid excessive handling
• Filtered/rainwater helps if your tap water is hard

💡 Big Plant Lad Wisdom

This is not a casual “forgot about it for ten days” plant. This is luxury velvet territory — treat it accordingly and let it flex. 🌿✨
