Anthurium nigrolaminum x Anthurium dressleri 'Gigi' (seedling)

A seedling hybrid between Anth. nigrolaminum and Anth. dressleri 'Gigi', combining the sculptural bullate texture and red-bronze venation of nigrolaminum with the refined elongated form of the 'Gigi' clone of dressleri. The result is a tall, narrow bilobed leaf with one of the most deeply textured surfaces in the collection — dense ridges and valleys that give the dark green blade an almost three-dimensional, sculptural quality.

• 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 tall, narrow bilobed leaves with well-separated upper lobes and a strongly 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:

The red-copper petiole insertion point is a consistent and distinctive trait inherited from nigrolaminum. The dark green blade carries a subtle bronze undertone that deepens with maturity. The 'Gigi' designation refers to a selected clone of Anth. dressleri known for its refined elongated leaf form.
