Doc Block - Nice Plants Good Pots

Doc Block Lineage Anthuriums

Anthurium hybrids and breeding selections connected to the Doc Block lineage, reflecting the specialized hybridization work of Dr. Jeff Block.

These plants are recognized for expressive emergent coloration, pronounced colorful veining, and highly collectible mature foliage, with genetics that have played an important role in shaping modern Anthurium breeding.

The Doc Block lineage is especially valued for contributing strong vein pigmentation, silver veining, and red-emergent traits that continue to influence contemporary hybrid programs.

Our source material, ‘Doc Block Red’ and ‘Doc Block Purple,’ was verified by Jeff Block and predates Jeff’s ‘Michelle’ line. We are fortunate to work with these early genetics, which helped inform the breeding foundation behind later Doc Block lines.

This collection highlights hybrids within the Nice Plants Good Pots program that carry forward those genetics and their distinctive visual impact.

Growing & Care for Rare Anthuriums

We recommend a coarse, airy substrate designed for epiphytic aroids. Our Anthurium soil blends are available separately and are formulated for root health and aeration.

Proper conditions will enhance velvet texture, venation clarity, and emergent coloration.

Rare & Collector-Grade Anthurium Plants

Our Anthurium collection focuses on rare, collector-grade genetics selected for distinctive foliage, high quality, Collector lineage , and breeding potential. See our mother plants here.

These are not mass-produced tissue culture plants. Many are one of a kind, seed-grown hybrids and carefully selected crosses featuring Papillilaminum, Crystallinum, Magnificum, Warocqueanum, Swampmannii, Rotundatum, Portillae, Doc Block, Silver Krome, Ree Gardens and Tim Anderson lines.

Collector Anthuriums are valued for:

  • Veining, form, and distinctiveness
  • Dark emergent & robust growth
  • Hybrid vigor and phenotype variation
  • Exact provenance, Strong lineage documentation
  • Limited availability

Each plant is established, well-rooted, and grown in our New Orleans greenhouse.

We release plants in small batches to maintain high quality genetic diversity and plant quality.

Seed-Grown Anthurium Hybrids & Genetic Lineage

We prioritize seed-grown Anthurium hybrids because they produce stronger root systems, greater variation, and more unique phenotype expression compared to cloned stock.

Many of our crosses include:

Seed-grown plants offer collectors the opportunity to own genetically distinct individuals rather than identical clones. Each cross is selected for form, venation , emergent coloration, and long-term breeding value.
