🌳 Cultivation & Care Information

• Botanical Name: Anthurium 'Red Tiger'

• Common Name: Red Tiger Velvet Anthurium / Exotic Bullate Aroid

• Plant Type: Exceptionally robust, structurally imposing, climbing or terrestrial tropical evergreen perennial aroid

• Sun Requirements: Bright, indirect light (Essential: Requires at least 6–8 hours of filtered, bright indirect sunlight to stimulate strong leaf texturing and foster the intense reddish-copper coloration on emerging leaves; entirely avoid harsh, direct afternoon sun which will instantly scorch the delicate velvet surface).

• Soil / Medium: Highly sensitive to dense, compacted substrates; requires an exceptionally airy, chunky, and flawlessly well-draining aroid mix (ideal: equal parts medium orchid bark, coarse perlite, chunky peat moss or coco coir, tree fern fiber, and charcoal) with a slightly acidic pH (5.5–6.5).

• Watering: Keep substrate evenly moist but never saturated. Water thoroughly when the top inch of the premium propagation medium feels dry, ensuring the roots never sit in stagnant water. Maintain proper drainage to prevent root decline.

• Growth Habit: An incredibly attractive structural plant featuring tight node development and thick, aerial-root-producing stems that climb elegantly up supports, showcasing massive velvet leaves.

• Temperature & Humidity: Thrives effortlessly in warm, highly humid tropical microclimates (ideal range: 18°C–28°C). Requires elevated ambient humidity (65–85%) to mimic its native tropical rainforest understory. Entirely frost-intolerant; must be kept in a temperature-controlled space above 15°C.

💡 Pro Growing Tip: Anthurium seeds and cuttings thrive best when given high structural aeration and moisture consistency to prevent embryonic or node stagnation. To ensure a rapid and highly uniform root sprout, prepare a propagation vessel filled with lightly pre-moistened, long-fiber Chilean sphagnum moss or a highly porous coarse perlite mix. Place the node or seed gently into the medium, ensuring the main growing tip remains completely free and just above the surface. Enclose the setup in a clear propagation dome or ziplock bag to trap high ambient humidity, and place it in a consistently warm environment (around 23°C–26°C) under bright, indirect light. Avoid disturbing the root zone during development. Robust secondary root systems will reliably establish within 4 to 6 weeks!
