Anthurium 'Dark Phoenix'
Anthurium 'Dark Phoenix' is a highly sought-after hybrid aroid believed to originate from a cross between Anthurium papillilaminum and Anthurium 'Ace of Spades'. It combines the best characteristics of both parents, producing dramatic velvety foliage with exceptional colour, texture and form.
The large, heart-shaped leaves emerge with bronze and burgundy tones before maturing to an intense deep green, often appearing almost black in lower light. Prominent veining and a luxurious velvet texture create a rich, light-absorbing surface that gives the plant an unmistakably premium appearance. As the plant matures, the foliage becomes increasingly bold and architectural, making it a prized specimen among Anthurium collectors.
- Other names: Dark Phoenix Anthurium
- Useful to know: Toxic if ingested - not safe for pets and children
- Eventual height: Can grow up to 90cm indoors
- Origins: Hybrid of Anthurium papillilaminum × Anthurium 'Ace of Spades'
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 draughts.
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
