Anthurium carlablackiae

Anthurium carlablackiae Culture:

Successful cultivation of Anthurium carlablackiae requires attention to the following aspects:

• Light: Prefers medium to bright indirect light (1500-2500 lux). Can tolerate lower light but may grow slower. Avoid direct sun exposure.
  
• Temperature: Thrives in warm conditions between 20-28°C (68-82°F). Minimum temperature 18°C (64°F).
  
• Humidity: Requires high humidity (70-80%+). Benefits from humidifiers or placement in terrariums/plant cabinets.
  
• Watering: Water when top 1-2 inches of substrate dry out. Requires consistently moist but well-draining conditions.
  
• Substrate: Best in a chunky, airy mix of orchid bark, perlite, sphagnum moss, and charcoal.

Additional Notes:

• Anthurium carlablackiae is a stunning species prized for its velvety, dark green to nearly black leaves with dramatic silver venation. 
• This is considered a collector's plant due to its striking foliage and relative rarity in cultivation. The velvety leaf texture and contrasting venation make it particularly desirable among aroid enthusiasts.
