A rich and dramatic velvet-leaved hybrid bred from Anth. Cuyabeno Soul crossed with Anth. papillilaminum, combining the deep, dark foliage tones of Cuyabeno Soul with the bold bullate texture and prominent venation of papillilaminum. The result is a plush, deeply textured aroid with an almost nocturnal depth of color — a prized specimen for velvet Anthurium enthusiasts.
-
Light: Bright, indirect light; avoid direct sun to protect the velvety leaf surface. Thrives near a filtered window or under grow lights.
-
Temperature: Intermediate to warm growing. 65–80°F (18–27°C); protect from temperatures below 55°F (13°C).
-
Humidity: 70–90%; high humidity is essential. A humidifier is strongly recommended.
-
Watering: Water when the top inch of substrate dries out; ensure excellent drainage. Never allow to sit in standing water.
Additional Notes:
Foliage is large, deeply velvety, and bullate, with bold venation inherited from its papillilaminum parent and rich, dark tones from Cuyabeno Soul. Grow in a chunky aroid mix (bark, perlite, sphagnum moss). Fertilize monthly with a balanced liquid fertilizer during the growing season.
