Anthurium papillilaminum variegated × Anthurium green mamba

Anthurium papillilaminum Variegated x Anthurium Queen Mamba is a rare and highly sought-after hybrid plant. This cross combines the striking features of two unique anthurium species:

• Anthurium papillilaminum Variegated: Known for its dark green, velvety leaves with striking variegations. The variegation can range from subtle speckling to bold patches of cream, yellow, or white.
• Anthurium Queen Mamba: Renowned for its large, dark green, almost black leaves with prominent veins.

The hybrid offspring inherits traits from both parents, resulting in a plant with:

• Unique Foliage: The leaves are likely to be large and dark green, similar to the Queen Mamba parent, but with the added allure of variegation. The variegation patterns can be quite diverse, making each plant unique.
• Striking Appearance: The contrast between the dark green and the variegated sections creates a visually stunning effect.
• Potential for Rare Varieties: Due to the genetic diversity introduced by the cross, there’s a chance of producing rare and unique variations within the offspring.

Care Requirements:

• Light: Bright, indirect light is ideal. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.
• Temperature: Warm temperatures between 65-85°F (18-30°C) are preferred.
• Humidity: High humidity is beneficial. Consider using a humidifier or misting the plant regularly.
• Watering: Water regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out slightly between waterings.
• Soil: Well-draining potting mix is essential to prevent root rot.

Note: This hybrid is relatively rare and can be quite expensive due to its unique appearance and limited availability. It’s important to purchase from reputable sellers to ensure the authenticity and health of the plant.
