A hybrid between Anth. rubrinervium and Anth. pinkleyi, two species with distinct and complementary characters. The result is a plant with dynamic, variable leaf forms — ranging from broad cordate to elongated with wavy margins — all carried on striking burgundy-red petioles that are a direct inheritance from rubrinervium, whose name references this very trait.
-
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 multiple leaves simultaneously in varying forms, creating a lively, textured silhouette. Benefits from a moss pole or totem as it matures.
Additional Notes:
The semi-glossy medium green surface is clean and smooth, with subtle primary venation. Leaf shape variation between individuals and even between leaves on the same plant is expected and characteristic of this cross. The burgundy petioles are consistent and prominent across all growth stages.
