Anthurium 'Darkest Lady'

Anthurium 'Darkest Lady' is a bold and elegant hybrid known for its near-black, matte-finished foliage and subtle veining. The thick, heart-shaped leaves deepen in color with maturity, especially in optimal lighting. This cultivar exudes a sense of rarity and refinement, making it a prized choice for dark-leaf enthusiasts and collectors alike.

Light
Thrives in bright, indirect light. Too much direct sun can bleach or damage the foliage.

Watering
Water when the top 2–3 cm (about 1 inch) of soil feels dry. Keep soil slightly moist but never soggy.

Humidity
Prefers high humidity, ideally above 70 percent. Higher humidity enhances coloration and growth.

Temperature
Best maintained between 18–26 °C (65–79 °F). Avoid cold temperatures and drafts.

Soil
Use an airy, well-draining mix. A combination of coco coir, perlite, bark and a bit of sphagnum moss works well.

Fertilizing
Feed lightly every two weeks during the growing season to encourage rich color and healthy growth.

Support
Does not require support, but may benefit from light stabilization if leaves grow large.
