Anthurium ‘Dark Mama’ × ‘Ace of Spades’ is a formidable velvet-leaf hybrid that combines the heavy, brooding depth and presence of Dark Mama with the refined darkness, structure, and legendary status of Ace of Spades. Expect thick, deeply saturated foliage with a dense velvet surface, powerful venation, and a commanding silhouette. This is an unapologetically dark, high-impact Anthurium created for serious collectors who favour depth, weight, and authority in their plants.

Care Guide

  • Care Guide:
  • Light: Bright, indirect light; avoid direct sun to preserve velvet texture and extreme colour depth.
  • Ideal Room: Plant rooms, greenhouse cabinets, warm interiors with stable humidity
  • Feeding: Diluted balanced aroid fertiliser every 4–6 weeks during active growth
  • Humidity: High humidity (65–85%) recommended for optimal leaf size, surface finish, and saturation
  • Ideal Temperature: 20–27°C; protect from temperatures below 16°C and cold drafts
  • Watering: Keep substrate lightly moist; allow the top 2–3 cm to dry slightly between waterings. Never allow waterlogging.
  • Pet/Child Safe: Toxic (genus level) — contains calcium oxalate crystals that may cause irritation if ingested
  • Soil Type: Very chunky, well-aerated aroid mix with bark, perlite, pumice, and sphagnum moss
  • Propagation: Stem division or node cuttings; slow and best performed on established plants
  • Eventual Height and Spread: 50–85 cm tall; 45–70 cm wide depending on maturity and conditions
  • Growth Rate: Slow to moderate; develops heavier, darker, more commanding leaves with age
  • Pests and Treatment: Thrips and spider mites are the primary risks; maintain humidity and inspect foliage regularly
  • Repotting: Every 1–2 years once rootbound; avoid oversized pots
  • Pruning: Remove older or damaged leaves at the base to support strong new growth
  • Air Purification: Good; contributes positively to indoor air quality
  • Folklore: Dark Anthurium hybrids symbolise power and prestige, representing depth, dominance, and velvet luxury at the highest tier of collector cultivation
