Anthurium
‘Dark Phoenix’
Rise from the shadows, jungle royalty is here.
The Anthurium ‘Dark Phoenix’ isn’t just another houseplant — it’s a statement. With its deep, velvety foliage, dramatic dark tones, and bold contrasting veins, this rare beauty is like the gothic superhero of the aroid world. Sleek. Mysterious. Absolutely unforgettable.
Native to the rainforests of South America, this hybrid thrives in warm, humid conditions that mimic its natural jungle roots. And unlike some divas, the Dark Phoenix rewards the right care with broad, leathery leaves that only get bigger and more impressive over time.
Why You’ll Love It
Striking dark foliage with that velvety sheen collectors obsess over.
Rare hybrid that stands out in any plant collection.
Leaves that can grow massive with maturity (perfect for big jungle vibes).
Surprisingly manageable care — once acclimatised, it’s as tough as it is beautiful.
Care Tips for Your Dark Phoenix
- Light: Bright, indirect light is its best friend. Avoid harsh direct sun — think jungle canopy vibes.
- Soil: Loves a chunky, airy mix (perlite, bark, moss, worm castings — the works).
- Water: Keep soil lightly moist but never soggy. Let the top layer dry slightly before watering again.
- Humidity: 60–80% keeps those leaves lush and happy.
- Feeding: Use a weak liquid fertiliser with every watering during the growing season for steady growth.
