• Growth habit: Compact crown-forming Anthurium with upright petioles and close-set foliage.
• Leaf form: Rounded heart-shaped blades with a soft velvet surface.

• Substrate: Use a loose Anthurium mix with bark, coco chips, pumice or perlite so roots receive moisture and oxygen.
• Temperature: Keep warm, ideally around 18–28 °C, and protect from cold wet substrate.
• Humidity: Moderate to high humidity helps new leaves expand cleanly; pair humidity with gentle airflow.
• Feeding: Feed lightly during active growth with a diluted complete fertiliser.
