Anthurium Dorayaki

Anthurium 'Dorayaki' is a compact velvet-leaf anthurium bred from Anthurium crystallinum. It's named after the Japanese pancake, and you can see why. The leaves are round, flat and thick, deep green with raised silvery-white veins.

This one is grown for its foliage rather than flowers. It stays small and tidy, so it suits a shelf, desk or windowsill out of direct sun.

Give it bright, indirect light. Keep it away from sunny windows where the sun comes through the glass, or the leaves will burn. Water when the top few centimetres of mix feel dry, and give enough that excess drains out the base. It likes warmth, so keep it clear of heaters and air-conditioning vents, which dry out the air.

Not safe for pets if eaten.

Available in a 100mm gardener's pot.
