This beautiful anthurium hybrid was bred in the 1970s from the species radicans and dressleri and is now difficult to find on the market, making it highly sought after among aroid collectors. It is characterised by the large, relief-textured heart-shaped leaves. An added bonus is that its care requirements are not too complicated to fulfill.
