Basic Information about your Anthurium
Scientific name: Anthurium radicans × Anthurium luxurians
Common names: Rad × Lux Anthurium, Radicans × Luxurians Hybrid
Plant type: Tropical perennial climber
Family: Araceae
Native range: Hybrid cultivar Anthurium radicans and Anthurium luxurians are both tropical Anthurium species from the Americas, but this cross does not occur naturally in the wild. It’s created by breeders to combine desirable foliage traits from both parents.
Natural habitat: Parents from Central and South America
Difficulty level: Intermediate
Fun fact: This hybrid is especially loved by collectors for its bullate (raised, blister‑like) leaves that are thick and textured, often emerging with reddish or copper tones before maturing to deep green — a unique combination of traits inherited from both radicans and luxurians
How to care for your Anthurium Radicans × Luxurians

Additional Tips*
Use a well-draining substrate, such as a mixture of coconut fiber, perlite, pine bark, and activated charcoal. This ensures good aeration and prevents excess humidity.
The acclimation process takes a toll on anthuriums, so if they drop a few leaves, don't worry it will spring back in no time
