Description

Mystery cross: This rare Anthurium hybrid was grown from seed, originating from a cross between several popular and rare parent lines. The hybrid was hand-selected for its foliage traits by a Dutch exotic plant breeder with more than 15 years of experience. The plant features dark green, velvety leaves with pronounced veins and a strong, elegant appearance. You will receive a healthy, vigorous specimen with two large mature leaves, ready to thrive in your home.

Selected traits

• Dark leaves with velvety structure
• Narrow, well-defined veins, reminiscent of Anthurium Michelle.
• Round leaves with a large diameter
• Compact growth habit with leaves neatly positioned side by side.
• Hand-selected hybrid - unique character, no second alike.
• One of a kind this specimen only. Not propagated vegetatively!

Size

XL – approx. 50 cm tall, supplied in a 17 cm pot.

Growth & support with moss pole

This hybrid has a climbing growth habit and benefits from a moss pole once multiple mature leaves and aerial roots have formed. This encourages larger, stronger leaves and provides extra stability. In good light and high humidity, new leaves can appear regularly.

Propagation of Anthurium hybrid

Propagation is possible via top or mid-cutting with at least one node and aerial root. Use a lightly moist, airy medium (e.g. sphagnum) in a closed propagation box or cutting station. Repot once roots are 3–5 cm long. Difficulty: medium.
