Anthurium ‘Michelle’ (Doc Block), botanically classified as an Anthurium hybrid, is a highly distinctive velvet-leaf Anthurium developed through Doc Block’s selective breeding program. It is especially admired for its dramatic heart-shaped foliage, with new leaves emerging in rich burgundy-purple tones before gradually maturing into deep green with striking contrasting veins.

Plant Characteristics

This collectible Anthurium produces broad, heart-shaped leaves with a luxurious velvety texture and prominent venation. Emerging foliage can display violet, burgundy, or deep purple tones, while mature leaves develop an intense dark-green appearance with bright contrasting veins. The plant has an upright, self-heading growth habit rather than a climbing form. Under favorable conditions, mature plants can reach approximately 12–24 inches in height.

Care Guide

Grow Anthurium ‘Michelle’ in bright, filtered or indirect light, avoiding prolonged harsh direct sunlight. Allow the upper layer of the growing medium to partially dry before watering again, while keeping the root zone evenly moist but never waterlogged.

Maintain moderate to high humidity, ideally around 60–80%, with good airflow. Temperatures between approximately 65–85°F are suitable for active tropical growth. Use a loose, airy, well-draining aroid mix containing materials such as orchid bark, perlite, coco chips, and a moisture-retentive component. Proper drainage is essential to protect the root system from excessive moisture. Its overall care level is best considered moderate.

Why Collectors Love It

Collectors love Anthurium ‘Michelle’ for the dramatic transformation of its foliage—from dark burgundy-purple emergent leaves to mature velvet-green leaves with brilliant venation. Its distinctive genetics, rich coloration, and elegant leaf shape make it a standout addition to a premium Anthurium collection.
