Nocturne Overview
A velvet-leaf heart rendered in deeper greens—often near-black in cushioned light—with luminous, fine-lined venation. Dark Form reads dramatic and composed, holding broad plates on sturdy petioles for a calm, gallery feel.
Key Anatomy
- Botanical: Anthurium crystallinum (Dark Form selection)
- Habit: self-supporting rosette; measured leaf spacing for a clean silhouette
- Blade: plush matte surface; intensified dark ground with chalk-bright mapping
- Interior scale: typically ~40–70 cm (16–28 in) under steady routines
- Companion note: stage beyond pets’ reach
Light & Atmosphere
- Illumination: diffused daylight or sheer-filtered morning sun; shield from hard midday beams to protect the velvet nap.
- Climate: moisture-friendly rooms (~55–70% RH) with gentle air movement.
- Temperature: 20–27 °C (68–81 °F) keeps texture crisp and edges tidy.
Water & Root Zone
- Hydration rhythm: re-water when the upper layer just dries back; flush through and drain fully—no standing water.
- Substrate: open, oxygen-rich matrix—orchid bark + pumice/perlite + coco chips; a light sphagnum accent for buffering.
- Crown set slightly high to discourage basal wetness.
Nutrition & Upkeep
- Feeding: balanced formula at ¼–½ strength during active months; taper as growth slows.
- Grooming: dust leaves gently so vein contrast stays high; remove older plates if they fade to keep the canopy sharp.
- Orientation: quarter-turn the pot every couple of weeks for even leaf presentation.
Placement Ideas
Matte or stone planters echo the velvet surface; position on low consoles where the dark ground and bright linework read at eye level. Pair with glossy aroids for material contrast.
