✨ Why You'll Love the Anthurium papillilaminum × 'Dark Phoenix'

• Rich, dark green to nearly black leaves with a luxurious velvet texture
• Distinctive veining that glows softly under light
• Compact juvenile form — ideal for growing on shelves or in small urban spaces
• Easy-care tropical for intermediate plant lovers
• Rare hybrid prized by Anthurium collectors across Europe

🌞 Light & Placement

Provide bright, indirect light — perfect near an east- or north-facing window. Avoid direct sun, which can scorch the velvety leaves. This hybrid adapts beautifully to indoor light conditions typical of German and European apartments.

💧 Water & Humidity

Keep soil lightly moist but never soggy. Water when the top 2 cm of substrate feel dry. Prefers 60–80% humidity, making it an excellent choice for bathrooms, terrariums, or rooms with a humidifier.

🪴 Soil & Potting

Use an airy, well-draining mix — think orchid bark, perlite, and sphagnum moss. Repot every 1–2 years as roots fill the pot. Our premium aroid soil mix ensures healthy root aeration and nutrient balance.

🐾 Toxicity & Safety

Like most Anthuriums, this hybrid is toxic if ingested by pets or humans. Keep out of reach of curious cats and dogs.

🌱 Growth & Propagation

Slow to moderate grower. Mature leaves can reach impressive sizes with proper care. Propagate by stem cuttings or division during active growth months (spring–summer).

📆 Seasonal & Special Care

During winter, reduce watering and keep temperatures above 18 °C. Mist occasionally or use a humidity tray to counteract dry indoor air. In spring, resume fertilizing every 4–6 weeks with a balanced aroid feed.

🐛 Common Issues

• Brown edges → low humidity or overfertilization
• Yellowing leaves → overwatering
• Check regularly for thrips or spider mites on undersides of leaves
