Anthurium Silver Blush x Capibara

Anthurium Silver Blush x Capibara is a rare hybrid that merges the compact, shimmering venation of Silver Blush with the elongated, velvety foliage of Capibara. The result is a plant with striking heart-to-elongated leaves, deep green velvet surfaces, and bold silver veining that often appears more intricate than either parent alone. Collectors value this hybrid for its balance of manageable growth and dramatic presentation, making it a centerpiece in any velvet-leaf Anthurium collection.

Care Guide

• Light: Bright, indirect light is ideal. Avoid direct sun which can fade or burn foliage.
• Water: Keep soil evenly moist but allow the top layer to dry slightly between waterings.
• Humidity: Requires high humidity (70%+). Benefits from humidifiers or greenhouse conditions.
• Temperature: Thrives between 65–80°F. Protect from cold drafts and sudden temperature drops.
• Soil: Use a chunky, well-draining mix with orchid bark, perlite, and sphagnum moss.
• Fertilizer: Feed monthly during active growth with a balanced liquid fertilizer.
• Growth Habit: Compact to medium growth, with elongated velvety leaves and pronounced silver venation.
• Toxicity: Not safe for pets if ingested.

Key Notes

This hybrid combines the shimmering silver blush effect with the elegant, elongated leaf form of Capibara. It is highly sought after by collectors for its unique foliage and hybrid vigor, often displaying faster growth and more resilient care needs than pure velvet-leaf species.
