Anthurium 'Ace of Spades' x blue papillilaminum
Anthurium 'Ace of Spades' x papillilaminum is a spectacular hybrid prized for its large, velvety leaves in deep dark green to almost black. Prominent contrasting veins emphasise the heart-shaped foliage, giving each leaf a rich, luxurious appearance that becomes increasingly impressive as the plant matures.
Particularly appealing to collectors, this Anthurium performs best in bright, indirect light with warm temperatures and good humidity. Grow in an airy, free-draining potting mix and keep it lightly moist without allowing the roots to remain waterlogged.
- Other names: Velvet Anthurium Hybrid
- Useful to know: Toxic if ingested - not safe for pets
- Feature: Large, velvety dark green to near-black leaves with prominent veining
- Eventual height: Can grow to approximately 60cm indoors
- Origins: A cultivated hybrid derived from tropical Anthurium species
Anthurium Care Sheet
Light: Bright light, but no direct sun. Hot, direct sunlight can cause scorch marks on the leaves that look like dry, brown patches. Ideally kept in temperatures above 15°c and away from cold drafts
Water: Water thoroughly to ensure that all the roots are watered, and allow excess to run off. Wait till the top couple inches of potting mix is dry before watering again. Water less often in autumn and winter, but don't allow potting medium to dry out. Yellow leaves indicate over-watering
Soil/Nutrition: Coarse, well-draining houseplant or orchid potting mix, feed monthly in spring and summer
Humidity: Enjoys high humidity. Place with other plants, or use a pebble tray to replicate the humid rainforest environment. Do not mist leaves, as this can cause brown marks
Pruning and propagation: Remove old, faded leaves and flowers, and keep leaves dust free. Can be propagated by either stem cuttings or by splitting the plant in spring
Experience Level: Moderate
