Anthurium 'Ace of Spades x (Magnificum x)' is a striking hybrid that combines the dramatic, dark foliage of the 'Ace of Spades' with the robust growth and frilly margin of Anthurium magnificum. This plant is known for its large, velvety, heart-shaped leaves that often feature deep green or nearly black tones, accented by lighter veining that gives the leaves a textured, almost metallic look. As it matures, the leaves grow larger and more pronounced, making it a standout in any indoor space. Its combination of bold aesthetics and relatively manageable size makes it popular among collectors of aroid plants.

This hybrid thrives in high humidity and indirect light, similar to its parent species, and requires attentive care to maintain its stunning foliage. It can be grown easily but its needs for warmth, humidity, and well-draining soil must be met for optimal growth.

Native to
This hybrid is a product of crossbreeding within the genus Anthurium, combining traits from the dark-leaved 'Ace of Spades' and the large, veined magnificum. While the hybrid itself does not occur in the wild, its parent species are native to the tropical rainforests of Central and South America, particularly Colombia and Ecuador. These plants naturally grow as epiphytes or terrestrials in the humid understory of rainforests.

Water
Anthurium 'Ace of Spades x (Magnificum x)' requires consistently moist but well-draining soil. Water when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry to the touch, being careful not to let the plant sit in waterlogged conditions, which can lead to root rot. A well-draining, chunky aroid mix, including orchid bark, perlite, and peat or coir, is ideal for retaining moisture without suffocating the roots. Reduce watering slightly in cooler months.

Light
This hybrid prefers bright, indirect light. Too much direct sunlight can cause the leaves to burn, while low light can slow down growth and dull the rich colours of the foliage. A spot near a north- or east-facing window or in a room with filtered light is ideal. Avoid harsh midday sun, which can damage the plant’s delicate velvety leaves.

Humidity
High humidity is crucial for Anthurium 'Ace of Spades x (Magnificum x)' to thrive, with ideal levels above 60%. If humidity drops too low, the leaves may develop brown, crispy edges or fail to reach their full size. Use a humidifier or place the plant on a humidity tray to maintain sufficient moisture in the air. This hybrid can also be grown in terrariums or enclosed environments if space allows.

Temperature
This plant prefers warm, stable indoor temperatures, ideally between 18°C and 26°C. Avoid exposing it to temperatures below 15°C, as it is sensitive to cold and may suffer damage. Keep the plant away from draughts and cold windows, especially during winter, to prevent shock. A consistently warm and humid environment will ensure the plant grows healthily and displays its best foliage.

Doctor Aphra and Luke Skywalker - An Entertaining Duo!
Format: Paperback
I've greatly enjoyed the various Marvel Star Wars series, but Star Wars: Yoda's Secret War left me a little unsatisfied.  I'm very happy to say that the next installment--Screaming Citadel--righted the course and returned the series to its high standard. Of course, this volume is not just comprised of the Star Wars series.  It also has issues from Doctor Aphra.  Obviously, the two comics crossed over with each other to deliver this story as  whole. Doctor Aphra has an ancient crystal supposedly housing the sentience of a powerful Jedi.  She needs the Queen of the Screaming Citadel to access it for her, and she needs Luke Skywalker to entice the queen into doing so.  You'll have to read the book for the details on using Luke as bait.  Doctor Aphra sells it to Luke as a chance for him to encounter an actual Jedi master, and it's a chance for her to witness a remnant of the ancient past because she is an archaeologist after all, albeit a bit of an immoral one. That's a pretty good premise to achieve what this story is really all about--watching Luke and Aphra interact.  I believe Doctor Aphra is one of the greatest additions to the Star Wars universe in decades.  She first appeared in the Darth Vader series, and she won over the audience so thoroughly that she quickly earned her own title.  Honestly, though Aphra works best when pitted against the pure of heart, or at least those on the side of the Rebels.  She's Aphra, so of course she manipulates Luke, double-crosses him, saves his skin a few times, then cheats him again.  That's just who she is. It's also interesting to see a rebellious streak in Luke as he jaunts off with Aphra without telling Han, Leia, or anyone else for that matter.  We know his dad didn't always follow protocol, so these little deviations are always revealing when Luke is concerned.  It's also fun to see him beginning to realize his power.  This particular story takes place soon after A New Hope, so Luke has not yet begun to completely understand what he has at his disposal--though this book does depict Luke having some pretty cool moments with his burgeoning abilities. We also have quite a bit of Han, Leia, and another invaluable addition to the mythology named Sana Starros.  All three get their moment to shine as Han finds more and more of the hero within, Leia further establishes herself as the capable leader she is, and Sana Starros slowly reveals more and more of her past to the reader.  Guess what?  Not only does she have deep connections to Han Solo, but it's heavily hinted that she is also tied to Doctor Aphra as well.  The specifics may surprise you. And, as always, Aphra's versions of C3PO and R2D2 steal the show.  They are named 0-0-0 and BT-1.  They are basically the murderous, demented, evil version of our favorite droids, and they are forever a delight. The story of Screaming Citadel itself is entertaining.  The art is very pleasing to the eye and keeps the plot moving at a quick pace.  At times the faces of the characters based off of real life actors look almost photo realistic, which is sometimes jarring when the rest of the panel does not look so true to life.  Of course, the best quality of the book is simply seeing all of these characters play off of each other.  It's refreshing to have such rounded, charismatic new characters as Aphra, Sana, Triple-Zero, and Bee-Tee 1 making waves with our legendary favorites.

Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid
Format: Paperback
Star Wars: The Screaming Citadel is a crossover collection of the main Star Wars comic series and the Doctor Aphra series. The Arc revolves around the Queen of The Screaming Citadel being the only one who can open a relic containing an ancient Jedi master. Aphra then teams up with Luke Skywalker and we have our crossover event. The story itself is good. A queen with parasitic bugs controlling a planet is uncharted territory for Star Wars and it works. There were great action moments, plots painting the Empire in a morally grey light than the traditional evil one. Doctor Aphra Marvel's golden girl character was funny in this and her chemistry with Luke worked. It didn't feel forced like Marvel was trying to use the Original Characters to build-up their new ones. Where this comic fails is the inconsistent art style as this is a collection you get different art with each issue. Its starts of good and then takes a nosedive in the Aphra issue in the volume. Bad art aside Screaming Citadel was an enjoyable crossover. Doctor Aphra is the best new character to come out of this new Marvel Disney run. Screaming Citadel is worth the read it was a nice crossover that delves more into the Fantasy elements of Star Wars and works as Star Wars has been Space Wizards since 1977.

What a ride.
Format: Paperback
How these two come together with the rest of the iconic characters is just so fun. Add in a Screaming Citadel and you're in for one hell of a ride. If you love Star Wars, pick it up. It could read as a stand-alone if needed. Part of the Doctor Aphra comics.

Absolutely top-knotch
Format: Kindle
9.5/10 This is the pinnacle of Star Wars comic books. A great way to tie in their Indiana Jones character in Aphra and the mainline series to tell an amazing story. Only complaint is a couple of the issues artwork I was not a fan of. I like the more realistic look. Just make sure you read Aphra book 1 and the previous SW books to understand it better. Aphra book 1 being more important

Star Wars embraces fantasy
Format: Paperback
This is Star Wars at its' strangest, and that's a very good thing. Luke and co. fighting through what could easily be Dracula's castle is a truly unique experience. I don't wish to say more for fear of spoilers. As a note though you will get more out of this if you've been following the Star Wars and Dr. Aphra comics. However you can get by without that knowledge as well.
