This tropical hybrid combines Anth. Green Heart and Anth. Crystal Dress, bringing together two named selections in a cross for aroid enthusiasts. Watching successive leaves unfold adds interest as the plant develops its mature character.
-
Light: Bright, indirect light near a filtered window; protect from harsh direct sun.
-
Temperature: Intermediate to warm-growing; 65–82°F (18–28°C). Avoid cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.
-
Humidity: Aim for 60–80% with gentle air circulation to support healthy leaf expansion.
-
Watering: Keep the root zone lightly moist, allowing the surface of the mix to begin drying between waterings. Use a chunky, well-draining aroid mix and empty any standing water.
-
Growth Habit: Upright, rosette-like growth with outward-spreading leaves. A moss pole is not initially necessary; add a short support if the stem elongates and needs anchoring.
Additional Notes:
Heart-shaped green leaves have pointed tips, pale contrasting veins, and a gently textured surface. Individual plants may differ in leaf proportions and coloration. Leave space around expanding leaves and avoid handling them until they have hardened.
