Anthurium ‘Michelle’ by Doc Block x Self is a highly sought-after hybrid aroid, and the “x Self” in its name indicates that it was created by self-pollinating the original ‘Michelle’ plant, ensuring the offspring retains the parent’s desirable characteristics. This plant is a favorite among collectors for its stunning, velvety foliage that emerges in a deep burgundy-purple with contrasting white veins and matures to a dark green.
Here is a comprehensive care Anthurium ‘Michelle’ by Doc Block x Self:
Light:
- Bright, indirect light is crucial. This plant’s lineage includes species from the rainforest understory, so it thrives in filtered sunlight.
- Avoid direct sun, as it will scorch the delicate velvet texture of the leaves and cause irreversible damage.
- An east or west-facing window with filtered light, or a spot a few feet away from a south-facing window, is ideal.
Watering:
- Allow the top 2-3 cm (about 1 inch) of the substrate to dry out between waterings.
- Water thoroughly until water drains from the bottom of the pot.
- Never let the plant sit in standing water, as this is the most common cause of root rot.
- Using filtered or rainwater is recommended, as it prevents the buildup of mineral salts from tap water, which can cause brown leaf tips.
Humidity:
- This is a tropical plant and requires high humidity, ideally between 70-85%.
- In a typical home environment, you’ll need to supplement with a humidifier or grow the plant in a plant cabinet or greenhouse.
- Low humidity can lead to browning leaf tips and edges.
Substrate:
- Anthurium ‘Michelle’ is an aroid and requires a chunky, well-draining, and aerated mix.
- A good aroid mix often contains components like orchid bark, perlite, coco chips, and a small amount of potting soil or organic compost. This allows for excellent drainage and air circulation around the roots, preventing rot.
Temperature:
- Maintain stable, warm temperatures between 18-25°C (65-77°F).
- Protect the plant from cold drafts, air conditioning vents, and sudden temperature swings, which can stress the plant.
Fertilizer:
- During the active growing season (spring and summer), you can feed monthly with a diluted, balanced liquid fertilizer.
- A fertilizer with an NPK ratio of 20-20-20, diluted to half or quarter strength, is a good starting point.
- Reduce or stop fertilizing during the fall and winter when growth naturally slows down.
Other Tips:
- Growth Habit: This plant is semi-self-heading and will grow upright. Providing a moss pole or a stake as it matures will encourage larger leaves and a more robust growth habit.
- Repotting: Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Choose a pot with ample drainage holes.
- Pests: Keep an eye out for common houseplant pests like spider mites, mealybugs, and aphids. Treat any infestations promptly with an insecticidal soap or neem oil.
- Toxicity: Like many aroids, Anthurium ‘Michelle’ is toxic if ingested, so keep it out of reach of children and pets.
