INTRODUCING — GOLDEN HAZE

Variegated papillilaminum × Dark & Moody

A striking balance of light and shadow, Golden Haze showcases luminous aurea variegation layered over deep, velvety green. Each leaf is uniquely marbled — bold, expressive, and made for collectors.

Named in memory of Haze 🐾

This release carries warmth, loyalty, and presence — a living piece with meaning behind every leaf.

LIMITED RELEASE
Selected plants only. Once they’re gone, there will be no more.

— Bright aurea variegation on dark leaves
— Hints of tricolour
— Red midrib on emergent leaves

Release: 7.30pm tonight!

Golden Haze represents light in the dark, and this release sits very close to my heart. I recently lost my best friend of nearly 10 years, and this plant is a small living tribute to the love, loyalty, and presence Haze brought into my life.

A wee look around the cabin today and these stunners are preforming with the cooler temps!

I get asked a lot about cuttings, I don’t do cuttings… definitely not saying it’s a bad form of propagation though.
Here’s why.
I like my plants big, often too big! The collector in me takes great joy in growing plants to maturity, there’s something about growing from a small seedling or 3mm seed to get to these giants.

The Easy Guide to Germinating Anthurium Seeds

By someone slightly obsessed with them

Are you ready to fall down the rabbit hole of growing Anthuriums from seed? Because once you start, there’s no going back. Watching each seedling develop its own personality is honestly one of the most addictive parts of collecting.

What Are Anthurium Seedlings?

Anthurium seedlings are baby plants grown from seed—and no two are ever the same. That’s the magic of it.

Especially with hybrids (like the ones I work with), you’ll start to see traits from each parent come through—leaf shape, texture, venation, even hints of variegation if you’re lucky. It’s a waiting game, but a very rewarding one.

Choosing the Right Seeds

This part matters more than anything else.
• I only use fresh seeds—the fresher, the better
• Seeds should be plump, slightly soft, and clean
• If they look dry or shrivelled, don’t bother

Anthurium seeds don’t store well at all, so timing is everything.

My Germination Setup

I like to keep things simple and consistent.

My go-to medium:
• Coco coir (my personal favourite)
• Sometimes mixed with perlite for airflow

You can also use:
• Chopped sphagnum moss
• Fern fibre

How I do it:
1. Lightly moisten the medium (not soaking)
2. Lay the seeds on top—don’t bury them
3. Pop them into a sealed container or propagation box

From there, it’s just about maintaining the environment.

Conditions I Aim For
• Temperature: 21–27°C
• Humidity: High—basically a little greenhouse situation

I often use a heat mat if the weather isn’t cooperating—it just keeps everything stable, which seedlings love.

Light + Airflow (This Bit Is Important)
• No light needed until they sprout
• Once they’re up, I move them to bright, indirect light or under a grow light

Direct sun = disaster for tiny seedlings.

I also:
• Open the container once a day

It’s a small step, but it really helps prevent fungal issues.

Transplanting (When They’re Ready)

Once I see a few proper leaves forming, I’ll move them into individual pots.
• Use a chunky, well-draining mix
• Always pots with drainage (non-negotiable)

They can be a bit dramatic during this stage, so I keep humidity up while they settle in.

Caring for Young Plants

This stage is all about balance.
• Keep them evenly moist, not wet
• Let them dry slightly between watering
• Feed very lightly every 2–4 weeks

I treat them gently here—this is where they start showing their potential.

Why I Love Growing From Seed

Honestly, it’s the unpredictability.

You’re not just growing a plant—you’re growing something completely unique. When you start seeing traits from your crosses come through (especially variegation or those deep, dark tones), it makes the whole process worth it.

If you’ve been thinking about trying it—this is your sign.
