This cross between Anth. Crystal Sky and Anth. Cuyabeno soul is offered as a seedling, allowing collectors to follow its development as it matures.
-
Light: Bright, indirect light near a filtered window or under shaded grow lights. Protect tender leaves from direct sunlight.
-
Temperature: Intermediate to warm-growing; aim for 68–85°F (20–29°C). Avoid cold drafts and abrupt temperature changes.
-
Humidity: Aim for 70–80% humidity with gentle air circulation while the seedling establishes.
-
Watering: Keep the substrate lightly and evenly moist without becoming waterlogged. Use a fine, airy aroid mix and avoid letting the root ball dry out completely.
-
Growth Habit: Upright, spreading growth with leaves held on individual petioles. A moss pole is not necessary at the seedling stage; provide support if the stem elongates as the plant matures.
-
Maintenance: Acclimate gradually to new conditions, handle young roots gently, and repot only when well rooted. Apply a diluted balanced fertilizer during active growth.
Additional Notes:
As the plant develops, elongated, heart-shaped leaves can display softly textured surfaces, pale contrasting veins, and bronze tones in emerging foliage. Leaf shape and coloration vary among individual seedlings and with maturity.
