More information

Anthurium besseae 'Umbra'

A stunning cultivar featuring large, velvety heart-shaped leaves in deep emerald green with striking burgundy-red petioles. This warm-growing aroid creates dramatic displays with its bold foliage and contrasting stem coloration.

  • Light: Bright indirect light, equivalent to 50-70% shade. Avoid direct sun which can fade the rich leaf coloration and scorch foliage.
  • Temperature: Warm conditions with daytime 70-80°F (21-27°C), nighttime 65-75°F (18-24°C). Prefers consistent warmth without cold drafts or temperature fluctuations.
  • Humidity: 60-80% with good air circulation. High humidity enhances the velvety texture and promotes larger leaf development.
  • Watering: Keep soil evenly moist but not waterlogged, watering every 4-6 days. Allow top inch of soil to dry slightly between waterings. Use well-draining aroid mix rich in organic matter.

Additional Notes
