The Anthurium Besseae AFF x Bench is a hybrid hero from the Nebula Orchidaceae, a rare interstellar fusion with velvet foliage and fiery red veins that pulse like a comet's core! This cosmic collector’s gem craves bright, indirect starlight to keep its glow galactic. Direct sun? Nope! It'll crisp faster than a solar flare on a Martian picnic.
Its roots prefer a chunky, breathable substrate, think orchid bark, perlite, coco coir & leca, and just a dash of moon dust. Hydrate when the top layer feels like dry asteroid rock, but never let it sit in swampy conditions, root rot is the black hole of houseplant care.
Humidity is key! This celestial stunner needs at least 70% to keep those velvety leaves from wrinkling like space suits in a vacuum. Use a humidifier or terrarium bubble to mimic its native alien atmosphere. During active growth (spring to early fall), feed monthly with a diluted, balanced fertilizer, just enough to keep its energy levels warp-speed ready.
Protect your Besseae hybrid from space invaders like thrips or mites, neem oil or insecticidal spray will send them back to their galaxy. With patience and stellar conditions, this Anthurium will beam exotic elegance into your plant quadrant.
