Anthurium Dark Lotus (Black Diamond x Papililaminum) For Sale

🔴 Please see the bottom of the description for important Dark Lotus
Anthurium \'Black Diamond\' (Anthurium regale × Anthurium luxurians) × Anthurium papillilaminumA three-lineage hybrid assembling three of the most texturally compelling compact-to-medium anthuriums in the collector world into a single cross of considerable complexity and ambition. The \'Dark Lotus\' name captures the resulting aesthetic precisely - a leaf that is simultaneously dark, deeply textured, and of considerable formal elegance, where the bullate quilting from the luxurians lineage plays out across a surface that carries papillilaminum\'s velvet constitution, producing a three-dimensional surface and near-black mature pigmentation. New leaves emerge in rich, saturated mahogany tones from the papillilaminum lineage before darkening to the deep, near-black mature coloration. Individual seedling expression varies as with all multi-lineage crosses.*Light: Bright but soft indirect light - the dark pigmentation from papillilaminum is sensitive to high-intensity exposure; lower fc levels than most velvet anthuriums support the deepest coloration. Avoid direct sun.*Soil: Very open, chunky epiphytic mix of orchid bark, perlite, and coco coir with excellent drainage and aeration; luxurians lineage in particular is prone to root rot in waterlogged conditions.*Temperature/Humidity: Warm temperatures between 65-80°F; high humidity of 70-80%+ is essential for maintaining the velvet surface quality and bullate texture from both parent lineages.*Watering: Keep consistently but lightly moist - allow only the top inch to approach dryness. Never waterlog; never allow to dry out fully.*Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer supplemented with calcium every 4-6 weeks during active growth; dilute to half strength.
