Anthurium Nigrolaminum ‘Gigi’ – Rare Collector Anthurium

Anthurium Nigrolaminum ‘Gigi’ is a highly sought-after collector anthurium, admired for its long, narrow velvet leaves, deep green to near-black colouring, and elegant, understated veining. This cultivar offers a refined, architectural look that appeals to serious aroid collectors who value form, texture, and rarity over showy blooms.

As the plant matures, leaves become longer and more dramatic, developing a luxurious velvety surface with subtle contrast along the veins. Its compact yet striking growth habit makes it ideal for curated collections, display cabinets, or statement placement in controlled indoor environments.

A true collector’s piece, prized for its scarcity and timeless aesthetic.

Care Instructions

Light:
Bright, indirect light is essential to maintain leaf colour and texture. Avoid direct sunlight, which can damage the velvet surface.

Watering:
Water when the top 3–5 cm of the growing medium is dry. Keep evenly moist but never waterlogged.

Humidity:
Prefers high humidity (60–80%). Best grown in humid rooms, cabinets, or with a humidifier.

Temperature:
Thrives between 18–28°C. Avoid temperatures below 15°C and protect from cold drafts.

Soil:
Use a chunky, well-aerated aroid mix with bark, perlite, and coco coir or peat.

Feeding:
Feed monthly during the growing season with a balanced liquid fertiliser at half strength.

Airflow:
Ensure gentle airflow to prevent fungal issues, especially in high-humidity conditions.
