🌿 Anthurium 'Anaconda'(Tim Anderson Dark Mag x Luxurians) × A. Tim Anderson 'Mag/Pap' #3 – Rare Hybrid Anthurium
This high-contrast hybrid brings together the deeply textured, blistered foliage of Anthurium 'Anaconda' with the dark, velvety, high-contrast venation of Tim Anderson's 'Mag/Pap' #3. The result is an architecturally striking Anthurium featuring a bold three-dimensional leaf surface, enhanced venation contrast, and deep emerald to near-black coloration.
Morphological Characteristics:
🍃 Leaf Structure:
Thick, heavily blistered leaves inherited from Anaconda, giving the plant a high-relief, armored texture.
Broader, velvety foliage with prominent lobes influenced by Mag/Pap #3, allowing for a strong, defined shape.
🎨 Coloration & Venation:
Foliage emerges in a bronze to deep green hue, eventually darkening into a near-black surface with bright contrasting venation.
The raised venation pattern accentuates the blistered leaf texture, making this hybrid especially visually striking under optimal lighting.
📏 Growth Habit:
Semi-epiphytic, preferring upright growth with moderate internodal spacing, making it ideal for structured, dense foliage presentation.
Performs best with moss pole or climbing support to encourage larger leaf expansion.
Cultivation & Care Requirements:
☀️ Light Exposure: Thrives in bright, indirect light to maintain deep coloration and maximize venation contrast.
💧 Irrigation: Prefers a moisture-retentive, well-draining substrate; allow the topsoil to dry slightly between waterings.
🌡 Environmental Conditions: Prefers high humidity (75%+), warm temperatures, and good airflow. Suitable for indoor cultivation, greenhouse growing, or USDA Zones 10–11.
🪴 Propagation: Readily propagated through stem cuttings, with early leaf development displaying textured, high-contrast characteristics from both parents.
Defining Features from Parentage:
The sculpted, blistered leaf texture from Anaconda creates a dramatic, high-relief surface.
The deep, velvety texture and strong contrasting venation from Mag/Pap #3 give the hybrid a bold and defined structure.
The compact yet structured growth form makes it an excellent statement plant in any collection.
