Anthurium 'Dark Phoenix'
Cultivated; no wild range.
Very dark velvety leaves with strong contrast veins and dramatic emergent colour in selected clones/lines.
Slow to medium upright velvet Anthurium collector plant; quality varies by clone/line.
Trade name referring to very dark velvet foliage and dramatic emergent growth.
A high-demand dark velvet collector name. I did not assign hybrid because parentage is not clearly supported enough for hybrid_parents. Use seedling_line only for a specific seller cross such as Dark Phoenix × Portillae.
Treat as a premium velvet Anthurium: stable warmth, high humidity, bright filtered light, and airy media. Avoid overpotting and cold wet roots.
Use a chunky aroid mix with bark, perlite/pumice, coco chips or coarse fibre, and a moisture-retentive component. Repot gently when roots fill the pot.
Monthly at quarter to half strength during active growth. Flush occasionally if using mineral fertiliser.
- Root rot in dense media; leaf edge burn from low humidity, salts, or inconsistent watering; spider mites, thrips, scale, or mealybug; cold damage in cool indoor conditions.
