Anthurium papillilaminum x Anth. carlablackiae (seedling)

This cross between Anth. papillilaminum and Anth. carlablackiae is offered as a seedling, giving collectors the opportunity to follow its development as it matures.

• Light: Bright, indirect light near a filtered window or under shaded grow lights. Protect tender leaves from direct sun.
• Temperature: Warm-growing; aim for 70–85°F (21–29°C). Avoid cold drafts and abrupt temperature changes.
• Humidity: Aim for 70–80% with gentle air circulation, especially while the seedling establishes.
• Watering: Keep the substrate lightly and evenly moist without becoming waterlogged. Use a fine, airy aroid mix and avoid letting the root ball dry out completely.
• Growth Habit: Upright, spreading growth from a short stem. A moss pole is not necessary at the seedling stage; provide support if the stem elongates as the plant matures.
• Maintenance: Acclimate gradually to new conditions, handle young roots gently, and repot only when well rooted. Apply a diluted balanced fertilizer during active growth.

Additional Notes:

Elongated, heart-shaped leaves display a softly textured green surface, lighter central veins, and pointed tips. Emerging foliage may show bronze tones. Leaf shape, color, and texture vary among individual seedlings and develop with maturity.
