This cross between Anth. Silver Arrow and Anth. papillilaminum brings a distinctive tropical presence to a collector’s growing space. A rewarding choice for a warm, humid indoor collection.
-
Light: Bright, indirect light near a filtered east-facing window. Protect from direct midday sun.
-
Temperature: Warm-growing; 68–85°F (20–29°C). Avoid cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.
-
Humidity: 60–80%, with gentle air circulation.
-
Watering: Keep the medium lightly and evenly moist, allowing the surface to dry slightly between waterings. Use an airy aroid mix with bark, perlite, and a moisture-retentive component; never leave the pot standing in water.
-
Growth Habit: Upright, terrestrial growth with leaves emerging from a central stem. A moss pole is generally unnecessary; provide a small support if the stem elongates with maturity.
Additional Notes:
Elongated, heart-shaped leaves have softly textured green surfaces and defined veins. Emerging foliage shows bronze tones before maturing to green. Leaf shape, color, and texture may vary among individual plants.
