Anthurium DocBlock Zara® ‘29’ × Purple Rain® ‘27’ is a striking velvet Anthurium hybrid that merges the bold scale and structure of the Zara® line with the rich, moody undertones and plush surface texture associated with Purple Rain®. This pairing produces dramatic, broad leaves with deep saturation, subtle purple-burgundy hues under the right light, and confident venation—an unmistakably high-end collector plant.

Care Guide

  • Care Guide:
  • Light: Bright, indirect light; avoid direct sun to protect velvet texture and maintain 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 expansion and surface finish
  • Ideal Temperature: 20–27°C; avoid 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 the pot to sit in water.
  • 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; 45–65 cm wide depending on maturity and conditions
  • Growth Rate: Slow to moderate; develops larger, heavier 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 containers
  • Pruning: Remove older or damaged leaves at the base to encourage strong new growth
  • Air Purification: Good; contributes positively to indoor air quality
  • Folklore: Purple-toned DocBlock hybrids symbolise depth and refinement, representing controlled power and quiet drama within elite Anthurium collections
