Anthurium Portilla Dreams x Anthurium dressleri

An exceptional hybrid between Anth. Portilla Dreams and Anth. dressleri, combining the bold, silvery-veined foliage of Portilla Dreams with the velvety, elongated leaf form characteristic of dressleri — a remarkable pairing for serious aroid collectors.

• Light: Bright, indirect light; avoid direct sun to preserve the velvety leaf surface and prevent bleaching of the venation.
• Temperature: Intermediate to warm-growing — 65–82°F (18–28°C); protect from drafts below 55°F (13°C).
• Humidity: Prefers 60–80%; high ambient humidity is key to developing the full texture and luster of the foliage.
• Watering: Water thoroughly when the top layer of the substrate begins to dry; use a well-draining, chunky aroid mix to prevent root rot.
• Growth Habit: Upright terrestrial grower producing large, paddle-shaped leaves; thrives in a breathable aroid mix with added perlite or bark for aeration.

Additional Notes:

Foliage is expected to display elongated, cordate leaves with a deep velvety green surface and prominent silvery-white venation — traits inherited from both parents. Leaf size, venation contrast, and overall presence intensify significantly as the plant matures, making this hybrid an increasingly rewarding long-term addition to any collection.
