Young leaves on Anthurium Michelle® (DocBlock) can open in dark grey-green, brown, burgundy or purple tones before maturing to a darker green velvet surface. The plant forms a compact basal clump, with each new leaf adding another layer above the pot.
Mature leaves show a soft silvery sheen, pale green to grey-green venation and a lighter underside with red to purple vein detail. The shallow fleshy roots need a breathable mix that drains freely after watering.
Growth stays close to the crown: each leaf emerges from the basal centre, opens with stronger colour, then darkens as the blade firms. The silvery sheen and the contrast between the upper surface and pale reverse become clearer as the leaf matures.
The root system sits relatively shallow, so deep wet substrate can stress the roots before the leaves show clear symptoms. A chunky Anthurium mix keeps moisture available while leaving air pockets around the roots.
Anthurium Michelle® is not intended for consumption. Keep it away from pets and children, as Anthurium leaves and stems contain calcium oxalate crystals that can irritate the mouth and digestive tract if ingested.
The genus name Anthurium comes from Greek roots meaning flower and tail, a reference to the spadix. Michelle® is the DocBlock cultivar ‘BLOCANTMIC’, bred by Jeffrey Sherwood Block from an Anthurium magnificum line and selected after several generations of controlled self-pollination before commercial tissue-culture production.
