Anth. rotundistigmatum x Anth. besseae aff is an exceptional hybrid that combines the distinctive characteristics of both parent species. This cross produces a robust plant with unique morphological traits that showcase features from the elegant rotundistigmatum and the distinctive besseae affinity form.

• Light: Provide bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight which can scorch the delicate young foliage.
• Temperature: Maintain temperatures between 18-26C (65-80F). Protect from cold drafts and temperature fluctuations.
• Humidity: Requires high humidity levels of 60-80%. Use a humidifier, pebble tray, or group with other tropical plants to maintain adequate moisture levels.
• Watering: Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top inch of soil feels slightly dry. Ensure excellent drainage to prevent root rot.
• Maintenance: As a baby plant, repot according to growth until it reaches medium size. Provide adequate water, light, and fertilizer, but use less than for adult plants to avoid damaging development.

Additional Notes:

Foliage Characteristics: This seedling hybrid shows promise of developing large leaves with characteristics inherited from both parents. As it matures, expect to see the elegant growth habit of rotundistigmatum combined with unique traits from besseae aff, creating an exceptional collector’s specimen with hybrid vigor.
