The result is a breathtaking hybrid with luxurious foliage, striking veining, and exceptional collector appeal. 🌿✨

☀️ Light

• Thrives in bright, indirect light
• Medium light is tolerated, but growth will be slower
• Avoid direct sunlight — velvet foliage can scorch and lose its rich finish
• Bright filtered light encourages larger leaves, stronger veining, and vibrant colouring

💧 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 (orchid bark, perlite, coco coir and sphagnum moss)
• Excellent drainage is essential for healthy roots

🌫️ Humidity

• Prefers high humidity (70–85%)
• Higher humidity promotes larger leaves and smooth unfurling
• Good airflow is just as important as humidity
• Warm, stable temperatures encourage consistent growth

🍽️ Feeding

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

🌱 Quick Tips

• Stable conditions produce the most impressive foliage
• Avoid handling new leaves while they're unfurling
• Filtered or rainwater is beneficial if your tap water is hard
• Repot only when the roots have filled the pot, as Anthuriums prefer being slightly root-bound
