As the name of this anthurium suggests, it is a sterile hybrid cross between two species, Anthurium radicans, which has heart-shaped leaves with pointed tipsand the wider, more oval Anthurium luxurians. This hybrid is particularly known for its showy foliage. The leaves are large, thick, and bullate, so they have a bumpy texture. Young leaves emerge pink and develop into a deep, rich green complemented by deep red to brown petioles.
