Botanical Name: Anthurium radicans x luxurians

Common Name(s): Anthurium Radicans x Luxurians, Hybrid Anthurium

The Anthurium radicans x luxurians is an exquisite hybrid that combines the best features of its parent species, resulting in a plant that is both captivating and unique. Known for its elongated, leathery rich green leaves that exhibit a "bullate" or bumpy surface, this hybrid thrives in humid, tropical environments, mimicking the conditions of its native rainforest in Central and South America. It is a sought-after plant for its striking foliage and is favored by plant collectors and enthusiasts who appreciate its dramatic appearance.

This hybrid typically grows as an epiphyte, meaning it can be found in its natural environment growing on other plants, absorbing nutrients and moisture from the air. The leaves of the Anthurium radicans x luxurians are large, glossy, and lance-shaped, with prominent veins, adding texture and visual interest to the plant. This hybrid is favored because it's easier to care for than the pure Anthurium Luxurians. 

To keep your Anthurium radicans x luxurians thriving, provide bright, indirect light to maintain its vibrant foliage. It can tolerate lower light conditions but will grow more slowly. New leaves often emerges with reddish, brownish or pinkish tones that matures into a deep rich green. This hybrid prefers a well-draining, airy potting mix that retains moisture without becoming waterlogged.  Like most Anthuriums, it thrives in high humidity and warmth, making it ideal for bathrooms, greenhouses, or areas where the air is moist. Temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C) are optimal, and misting the plant or using a humidity tray will help maintain the right environment.

Note: As with other species of Anthurium, this plant is toxic if ingested, potentially causing discomfort. Keep it away from pets and small children.
