Anthurium (Papi Long x AOS) x Rio Wild Hybrid

A wild-spirited hybrid blending elongated velvet traits with jungle-born complexity—uniquely elegant and genetically rich.

Origin:

This seedling is the result of crossing (Papi Long × AOS)—a hybrid known for its long, velvety lobes and refined structure—with an unidentified Rio wild-type Anthurium. The Papi Long × AOS side brings stability, texture, and form, while the Rio wild hybrid introduces unpredictability and raw, untamed traits from Brazil’s rainforest populations. Early-stage seedlings show strong veining, a soft velvet or semi-gloss finish, and mid-length lobes with diverse potential as they mature.

Care Recommendations:

🌡️ Temperature: 65–80°F (18–27°C)

💧 Humidity: 80% or higher

🌞 Light: Bright indirect light; avoid direct sun

Difficulty Level: 4

Additional Notes:

Due to the wild hybrid influence, this seedling may exhibit variability in lobing, texture, and growth speed. Some individuals may take on deeply lobed forms with elongated midribs, while others may retain a rounder silhouette with velvety sheen. Stable humidity and airflow are essential for proper leaf expansion and to avoid edge crisping or deformity. A perfect choice for growers seeking one-of-a-kind phenotypes with both elegance and wild DNA.
