Anthurium moodeanum – A Rare Anthurium with Leathery, Deep-Hued Foliage
Intriguing Foliage and Growth Habit
Anthurium moodeanum is a highly sought-after species with deeply veined, dark-toned leaves that evolve from a rich green to an intense burgundy-chocolate hue as they mature. Its coriaceous (leathery) texture gives the leaves a firm, glossy appearance, making it distinct from velvet-textured Anthuriums. With its upright growth and epiphytic tendencies, it thrives when provided with proper support, making it a bold addition for collectors.
Key Characteristics of Anthurium moodeanum
- Foliage: Elongated, heart-shaped, leathery leaves with pronounced veins.
- Growth Habit: Upright, epiphytic growth with a preference for climbing surfaces.
- Size: Can reach up to 90 cm in height, with broad leaves expanding over time.
- Inflorescence: Produces a pink spathe with a pale pink to white spadix.
- Toxicity: Contains calcium oxalate crystals – toxic if ingested by pets or children.
Essential Care Guide
- Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Can tolerate lower light but grows slower.
- Watering: Water when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Use filtered water to avoid mineral buildup.
- Humidity: Requires humidity above 50%. If dry air is an issue, use a humidifier.
- Temperature: Thrives between 18°C and 29°C. Keep away from cold drafts.
- Soil and Potting: Needs an airy, well-draining mix with orchid bark and perlite. Repot every 1-2 years.
- Fertilizing: Apply a diluted, balanced fertilizer every 4-6 weeks.
- Propagation: Best propagated through stem cuttings with aerial roots.
- Pruning: Remove damaged or yellowing leaves to maintain plant health.
Common Issues and How to Fix Them
- Root Rot: Caused by overwatering. Ensure proper drainage and avoid waterlogged soil.
- Pests: Watch for spider mites, mealybugs, and thrips. Treat with neem oil or insecticidal soap if needed.
- Leaf Curling or Browning: Often due to low humidity. Increase moisture levels with a humidifier.
Additional Notes
- Best Growth Support: Prefers moss poles or trellises to encourage vertical growth.
- Leaf Texture: The coriaceous (leathery) surface makes the foliage firm and durable.
Etymology: The Origin of the Name
Anthurium moodeanum is named after John Mood, a botanist and cultivator who first documented this species.

Fun, both heartwarming and heartbreaking
Format: Kindle
Only my second first person written selection, I am still getting used to that aspect, but unlike my first, I enjoyed that the story was told through both MCs. A great enemies to lovers, forced proximity, fated love etc, that resonated to me. There were some small twists that I could see coming, but also a few that I didn’t quite see until the characters were also seeing. Personally, I am more interested in the story than the spice, but with that said, it was well seasoned! I am kind of new to the spice world so I can’t say for sure how this would rate, but it definitely had some heat. I am very glad I happened across this author, and I do plan on also reading the next book….if nothing else, just to see for myself the “transformation” of the characters I’ve grown to love!

😍😍 BEST DEBUT NOVEL EVER
Format: Paperback
I’m having trouble finding accurate words to describe the way this book made me feel, but I am going to do my best.
To start off with basic elements, the character and world building are phenomenal. I feel a strong bond to not only the two main characters, Ara and Rogue, but to each and every character introduced throughout the book. The author did a stellar job of giving each of them unique personhood. All of the scenes are beautifully described. So much so that throughout the entirety of the book, I could see every scene: the towns, the castles, the meadows, the landscape. I have had difficulty with this and with distinguishing between outlying characters while reading in the past, but I did not have to think to remember details of world or character building because they flowed naturally within the story and were described well. I have read book series before that made me want to be a part of that world, but I actually felt like I got to step into Auryna and Ravaryn!
The plot twists!! Although this is not a suspense novel, it still had me on a rollercoaster of emotions and on the edge of my seat from beginning to end. I haven’t cried actual tears over a book since I was in high school (and I’ve read a LOT). This book finally broke the floodgates in the final few chapters. Multiple times. And we love a good cliffhanger. It truly made me FEEL.
THE SPICE is a solid 3.5/5. Some of the scenes had me flushed, some had me taking notes, some just had my jaw slack and my mouth hanging open. Bravo, JD Linton, bravo.
The relationships: friendships, family, romantic, ALL of the relationships in this book have so much meaning. The author does a great job at making you feel the love, the anger, the peace, the frustrations, the safety, the familiarity, etc. between the characters.
Ara and Rogue. I can not say enough and I also do not want to say too much. Just know that I feel like I know them both, to their core. I know what their childhood looks likes, their darkest moments, their biggest fears, their dreams and passions, what they want in life… The POV switches were seamless. I am so happy this author decided to let us see from both sets of eyes.
I can not wait for book two after that cliffhanger. And there is SO much potential for at least one prequel, I can’t wait to see where this author goes! I hope this series continues and flourishes. Fingers crossed!

Amazing!
Format: Kindle, Format: Kindle
This book was phenomenal, I devoured it within a few days! For this being a debut novel, it is fantastic and I would’ve thought the author was a seasoned author. I have zero complaints about this book.
Let me start by saying that the world building was phenomenal. I could picture everything in my head because of how detailed it was — that’s how good it was written. And I absolutely love the “captive/captor” trope so much, it’s become one of my favorite tropes, so I was pleasantly surprised to see that this book had that.
I loved the banter between Rogue and Ara — they’re both snarky and witty, plus with the romantic tension, it made the dialogue that much better. Speaking of romantic tension, yes there is spice but not so much of it that it overrides the plot, which I loved. For me, this would probably be on the 3/5 level of spice.
This book had a ton of plot twists and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

High on Tropes and Satisfaction
Format: Kindle
This is a great Romantasy book full of action, adventure, and everything you look for in this genre.
I won’t lie: it does kinda feel like the author found every common trope from every successful book of this kind and threw them all into this novel. But if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Especially in romance, there’s a large audience who has specific expectations, and they want them every time. Nothing wrong with that and many times I’m one of them.
I have no idea what defines a spoiler honestly, so
spoiler alert!!!!!!!
Tropes include:
Only one bed at the inn/bar
Dissatisfaction with life before hunk appears
Lost royalty
The chosen one
Montage of dress up time followed by shocked hunk
Forbidden romance between two from rival peoples
Power that cannot be controlled, simply guided/asked
Gathering intel at the inn/bar
FMC who knows how to fight/use weapons well
There’s probably more but no need to list them all.
Good story and I would recommend!
