Anthurium 'Dark Phoenix'

A stunning collector’s anthurium prized for its extraordinarily dark foliage and dramatic appearance. As the leaves mature, they develop deep shades of green that can appear nearly black under certain lighting conditions, creating a bold and sophisticated look. The large, heavily textured foliage and striking venation give this hybrid an almost prehistoric presence, making it a centerpiece in any rare plant collection. Like many premium Anthurium hybrids, ‘Dark Phoenix’ combines impressive foliage characteristics with vigorous growth, offering collectors a plant that is both beautiful and rewarding to grow.

Light 🌞
Provide bright indirect light. Avoid direct afternoon sun, which can scorch the foliage and diminish the rich dark coloration.

Watering 💧
Water when the upper portion of the soil begins to dry. Keep the growing medium evenly moist but never soggy.

Soil 🕳️
Use a chunky, airy aroid mix containing orchid bark, perlite, coco chips, and high quality potting soil. Excellent drainage is essential for healthy roots.

Fertilizing 🧪
Feed monthly during active growth with a balanced fertilizer diluted to half strength. Reduce feeding during cooler months.

Repotting 🪴
Repot every 1 to 2 years or when roots begin to outgrow the container. Select a pot with good drainage and increase pot size gradually.
