A deep and dramatic velvet-leaved hybrid bred from Anth. Crystal Sky crossed with Anth. papillilaminum, merging the crystalline venation and dark, velvety surface of Crystal Sky with the bold bullate texture and prominent venation of papillilaminum. The result is a richly textured aroid with an almost abyssal depth of color and surface detail — a compelling specimen for serious velvet Anthurium collectors.
-
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 crystalline venation from its Crystal Sky lineage and pronounced surface texture from papillilaminum. Grow in a chunky aroid mix (bark, perlite, sphagnum moss). Fertilize monthly with a balanced liquid fertilizer during the growing season.
