This hybrid combines Anth. David Portilla Dreams with Anth. forgetii, offering a distinctive specimen for tropical plant collections. Its rounded silhouette brings an elegant contrast to plants with narrower foliage.
-
Light: Bright, indirect light or filtered shade. Place near an east-facing window or behind a sheer curtain, protected from harsh direct sun.
-
Temperature: Intermediate to warm-growing; 65–82°F (18–28°C). Avoid cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.
-
Humidity: Preferably 60–80%, with gentle air circulation.
-
Watering: Keep the mix lightly moist, allowing the upper layer to begin drying between waterings. Use an airy, chunky aroid mix and allow excess water to drain completely.
-
Growth Habit: Upright, short-stemmed growth rather than trailing. A moss pole is not essential for young plants; a small support or root-contact surface can help stabilize an elongating stem.
Additional Notes:
Broad, oval leaves have a closed sinus, tapered tips, and deeply quilted surfaces in olive to dark green tones. Subtle veins emphasize the textured leaf blades. Give new leaves room to expand and avoid handling them while they unfurl.
