🌟 Overview

• Botanical Name: Anthurium Dorayaki
• Common Name: Dorayaki Anthurium, Velvet Aroid
• Propagation Method: Tissue Culture (TC) for premium health
• Size: Jiffy-sized starter plant

☀️ Light Requirements

To preserve the exquisite velvet sheen of its leaves, this plant requires bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight will easily scorch the delicate foliage, while low light levels will slow down growth and fade its bright veins.

💧 Water Requirements

Water thoroughly when the top 1 inch of the substrate feels dry to the touch. Ensure your growing medium is highly aerated and your pot has excellent drainage, as Anthurium roots are highly sensitive to standing water and root rot.

📏 Size & Growth

This starter plant is delivered in a compact Jiffy-sized plug, measuring approximately 10-15 cm in height. Under proper care, it grows into a stunning, compact specimen with leaves expanding up to 20-25 cm in diameter.

🌍 Origin & Characteristics

Believed to be a select hybrid variation of Anthurium crystallinum, the Dorayaki is named after the round Japanese pancake due to its uniquely circular, smooth leaf margins. Its distinct, thick velvet foliage features bold, contrasting white-to-silver veins that shimmer under soft indoor lighting.

📇 Toxicity & Safety Warning

Like other members of the Araceae family, the Anthurium Dorayaki contains insoluble calcium oxalate crystals. It is toxic to both pets and humans if ingested. Keep this plant out of reach of curious cats, dogs, and children.
