Anthurium HUxRC is a compact hybrid bred from parent plants from the renowned Indonesian breeder Haji Ulih (HU), likely a cross between the popular HU (“King of Spades”) and Indonesian Red Crystallinum (RC). It features heart‑shaped foliage with strongly impressed white or pinkish veins on a deep green background. Its growth habit is naturally low and rosette‑forming, pushing multiple leaves simultaneously from a central crown.
Native to:
As a man‑made hybrid, HUxRC doesn't occur naturally, but its parentage combines traits from tropical Anthurium species native to the Americas—HU brings dark, velvet leaves from certain “King of Spades” cultivars, while RC contributes strong white‑veined red foliage from Anthurium crystallinum subtypes. Emerging leaves often show a red‑bronze flush, maturing to deep green with vivid venation.
Water:
Keep the compost evenly moist. Water when the top 1/3 of the pot dries, ensuring excess drains freely. Avoid waterlogging to prevent root rot, a common issue with Anthurium hybrids.
Light:
Provide bright, filtered light—ideal by an east‑ or north‑east‑facing window. Too much direct sun can scorch the leaves, while low light can reduce vein contrast and slow growth.
Humidity:
Requires high humidity (65–80 %). Average UK indoor humidity (≈50 %) is low. Boost it with pebble trays, regular misting, or a humidifier. Brown edges signal dryness.
Temperature:
Thrives between 18–26 °C, with minimum winter temperature of 16 °C. Avoid exposing it to temperatures below 15 °C or near draughts from windows or heating vents
