A powerhouse hybrid between Anth. magnificum Silver and Anth. carlablackiae, uniting the silvery, highly reflective venation of magnificum Silver with the deep, velvety dark foliage and imposing stature of carlablackiae — one of the most striking large-leaf aroid combinations available.
-
Light: Bright, indirect light; strong indirect light enhances the silver venation contrast while protecting the velvety surface from scorching.
-
Temperature: Intermediate to warm-growing — 65–82°F (18–28°C); avoid exposure to temperatures below 55°F (13°C).
-
Humidity: Thrives at 65–85%; elevated humidity is essential to fully develop the luxurious leaf texture inherited from both parents.
-
Watering: Water thoroughly when the top layer of substrate starts to dry; use a chunky, well-aerated aroid mix to ensure excellent drainage.
-
Growth Habit: Upright terrestrial grower producing very large, broadly cordate leaves; benefits from a spacious container and a rich, breathable aroid substrate.
Additional Notes:
Foliage is expected to display broad, deeply cordate leaves with a rich dark velvety green surface and bold, high-contrast silver venation — traits drawn from both parent species. Leaf size and venation brilliance increase dramatically with maturity, making this hybrid a long-term showpiece for any serious collector.
