This tropical hybrid brings together Anth. Luxurious Shushupe and Anth. Espiritu de Montaña, creating a distinctive focal point for a humid indoor collection. Its sculptural presentation makes it an appealing choice for collectors of unusual aroids.
-
Light: Bright, indirect light near an east-facing window or behind a sheer curtain; avoid harsh direct sun.
-
Temperature: Intermediate to warm-growing, ideally 65–85°F (18–29°C). Protect from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.
-
Humidity: Aim for 60–80% humidity with gentle air circulation.
-
Watering: Water thoroughly when the upper layer of the growing medium begins to dry. Use an airy, well-draining aroid mix and never leave the pot standing in water.
-
Growth Habit: Upright, self-supporting growth when young. As the stem elongates, provide a moss pole or similar support if needed to anchor aerial roots and keep the plant stable.
Additional Notes:
Elongated, heart-shaped green leaves have a glossy, textured surface and deeply defined upper lobes. Allow space around the plant for its spreading petioles, and handle unfurling leaves gently to prevent damage.
