Anthurium ‘Dressleri Indo’ × A. pinkleyi is a Vietnamese hybrid combining the robust foliage and strong vein contrast of a ‘Dressleri’ indo clone with the gloss and shape of Anthurium pinkleyi. Expect leaves that are dark, substantial in size and sub-glossy. The growth habit will likely be upright to arching, possibly with moderate pendant effects depending on light and how much “pinkleyi” traits dominate as it matures.

Because Dressleri Indo hybrids are often vigorous and show variation, this cross should do well under good conditions, expressing leaf‑size, contrast, and sheen when given warmth, humidity, and filtered light.

Native to:
Neither parent is truly “wild” in the sense of origin of the specific cultivar. Dressleri Indo is a cultivated hybrid from Indonesian nurseries; A. pinkleyi is native to tropical moist forests in Central and South America. The hybrid inherits preference for warm, shaded tropical forest understorey conditions: high humidity, organic‑rich substrate, protection from strong direct sun, and stable temperatures.

Water:
Maintain substrate that stays moist but not soggy. Let the top ~ one‑third of the potting mix dry slightly between waterings. Use a potting medium that is airy and loose (e.g. bark, perlite, some sphagnum or peat coir) to give good drainage and air to the roots. Avoid letting water collect in the base or keeping the soil waterlogged as this leads to root rot; likewise avoid letting it dry out completely, especially under lower humidity.

Light:
Bright filtered light is ideal. Protect from direct midday sun; dappled shade or morning/evening sun filtered through a curtain works well. If light is too weak, expect slower growth, reduced venation contrast or gloss, and perhaps paler new leaves. If light is too strong, leaf scorching or faded colour may occur.

Humidity:
High humidity is beneficial — aim for around 60‑80% if possible. Lower humidity will reduce visual features (gloss, vein contrast), possibly lead to brown edges or more rapid water loss from leaf surfaces. Because this hybrid will more readily benefit from humid air, use humidifiers, pebble trays, misting, or micro‑climates. If size allows, growing in a humid cabinet or greenhouse will help.

Temperature:
Keep temperatures warm and fairly stable: approximately 18‑27 °C is a good operating range. Night‑time lows lower than about 15‑16 °C may stress the hybrid. Avoid cold drafts or placing near windows that get cold at night in winter. Consistent warmth helps leaf colour, gloss, and overall health.
