Anthurium (Pterodactyl × luxurians) × (papillilaminum × magnificum) (Variegated)

Anthurium (Pterodactyl × luxurians) × (papillilaminum × magnificum). A four-parent cross where sculptural texture meets dark velvet — lobed, bullate form on one side, silver-veined velvet on the other — here highly variegated.

The cross

The first side, 'Pterodactyl' × luxurians, is all texture and form: 'Pterodactyl' brings a deeply lobed, wavy, almost prehistoric leaf shape, while Anthurium luxurians brings its heavily bullate, quilted, glossy-dark surface. Together they make a sculptural, textured blade.

The second side, papillilaminum × magnificum, is dark velvet with silver-white veining and magnificum's squared petioles. The full cross blends the two worlds — texture and velvet — and this plant carries high variegation on top. Seed-grown and one of a kind; variegated tissue is more delicate and leans on its green to grow.

This specimen

One specimen. Photographed as received. No restock.

Care, briefly

• Light: Bright indirect — never direct, which scorches the variegation and young growth.
• Water: Lightly and evenly moist — never wet — letting the surface just dry between waterings. With the bullate texture, keep airflow so water doesn't sit in the crevices.
• Humidity: 65%+. Variegated tissue browns fast at the edges in dry air.
• Mix: Airy, chunky epiphytic mix — bark, perlite and charcoal — fast-draining.
• Warmth: 20–27°C. No cold draughts, nothing below 15°C.
• Pace: Young — give it stability to build leaf count, and the texture and form sharpen as it matures.
