Anthurium Black Diamond
Anthurium regale × Anthurium luxurians

A named hybrid combining A. regale — the large-scale Peruvian species with its broadly cordate velvety leaves and prominent venation — with A. luxurians, the Colombian species known for its deeply bullate, lacquer-glossy, three-dimensionally quilted surface. The cross brings together regale's scale and architectural leaf presence with luxurians' intense surface texture, producing large, dark leaves with pronounced bullate quilting and a near-black mature coloration that gives the hybrid its name. New leaves emerge in warm bronze tones before darkening. A frequently used parent in further multi-lineage anthurium crosses.

• Light: Bright but soft indirect light maintains the dark coloration and protects the velvet-bullate surface from bleaching. Avoid direct sun.

• Soil: Very open, chunky epiphytic mix of orchid bark, perlite, and coco coir; luxurians lineage is particularly prone to root rot in waterlogged conditions. Excellent drainage essential.

• Temperature/Humidity: Warm temperatures between 65-80°F; high humidity of 70-85% is essential for maintaining the glossy bullate surface and clean leaf emergence.

• Watering: Keep consistently but lightly moist — allow only the top inch to approach dryness between waterings. 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. Reduce in winter.
