A complex three-way cross combining Dr. Block, Red Crystal NSE, and Anth. Silver Blush. Bold cream-white net venation covers the dark blue-grey semi-velvety blade, while new leaves emerge in deep red-bronze with the same net pattern — two striking color expressions visible simultaneously on the same plant.
-
Light: Bright indirect light; avoid direct sun. Thrives near an east- or north-facing window, or under grow lights.
-
Temperature: Intermediate-warm growing — 65°F–82°F (18°C–28°C). Protect from temperatures below 60°F (15°C).
-
Humidity: 70–90%. Use a humidifier or high-humidity enclosure for best results. Avoid dry air from heating or AC vents.
-
Watering: Water thoroughly when the top inch of the substrate feels dry. Use a well-draining, chunky aroid mix. Never let roots sit in standing water.
-
Growth Habit: Upright; produces cordiform leaves with a pronounced apex. Benefits from a moss pole or totem as it matures.
-
Maintenance: As a seedling, this plant benefits from stable humidity and temperatures. Avoid sudden environmental changes and repot only when roots are well established.
Additional Notes:
Net venation is fully expressed from early growth stages and consistent across all leaves. The grey-silver undertone on mature leaves comes from the Silver Blush lineage. Leaf shape varies between individuals.
