A cross between a Doc Block Michelle F2 with a dark purple emergent leaf that fades to a dark green with red veining. The father is a Dark Magnificum hybrid out of Florida originating from Silver Krome Gardens and a possible Tim Anderson hybrid. Tim was a legendary Florida grower that should get more credit for his hybrids and plant experiments.

When it was originally collected, it was already a large and old specimen. Lots of nice variability in leaf shape and leaf color is possible. We have used the Magnificum in previous cross and have gotten a lot of narrow leaves. These are well established and growing seedlings.

Here are some tips for caring for a velvety anthurium:

Water when the top 2 inches of soil are dry.

Keep the soil just barely moist but not soggy.

Keep the plant in a spot that gets plenty of bright, indirect light but no direct sunshine.

Keep the plant in a warm room that's around 60f-85f away from draughts and radiators.

Keep the plant in a bathroom or conservatory to raise humidity.

Group plants together to help raise humidity.

water with diluted fertilizer monthly during the growing season.

Avoid temperature fluctuations.

Repot as needed to give room for roots to expand.

water more thoroughly in spring and summer, in winter season the velvet anthurium slows active growth.

If you see salts crusting on the soil surface, it's time to flush the soil.

Run a gentle stream of water through it for a few minutes to get rid of excess fertilizer
If the leaves start to yellow, brown, or wilt, this may be a sign of overwatering or underwatering.
