Anthurium AOSx X Carlablackiae

Anthurium AOSx X Carlablackiae

Seeds harvested between 16/01/2026 and 26/01/2026.

The earliest harvested seeds are already sprouting and will be despatched first.

The mother plant was originally acquired as a Thai Ace of Spades seedling from a reputed breeder. As the plant matured, it became evident that it is not a pure AOS and is instead either Ace of Spades x Luxurian or Ace of Spades x Radicans, which was later confirmed by the breeder as a likely result of cross-pollination during the receptive stage. The inflorescence does not clearly resemble either Luxurian or Radicans, so we are unable to confirm the exact parentage. For this reason, the mother plant is labelled as AOSx. That said, this is one of our favourite plants for its exceptional texture, deep darkness and overall presence, and we are very happy with the outcome.

For the pollen donor, we carried out an experiment using two different Carlablackiae pollen sources on a single, large inflorescence. The inflorescence was physically divided using a string, with Scott Cohen’s (@iamscottcohen) Carlablackiae OG5 x RA4 applied to the top half, and Brendan’s (@buz_plants) Carlablackiae RA4 x RA8 applied to the bottom half. Each half was masked while pollinating the other, and seeds from each section have been collected and stored separately. Every step was taken to keep the two pollen sources isolated.

This is the first time we have attempted using two separate pollen donors on a single inflorescence, and while precautions were taken, there is a moderate chance of cross-pollination between the two halves.

Because of this, we are offering these seeds in a slightly different format:

• You may purchase a single seed from either the top half or the bottom half of the inflorescence

• Alternatively, you may purchase a pair consisting of one seed from the top half and one from the bottom half at a discounted price

This is an experimental and exciting cross combining a dark, heavily textured AOSx mother with top-tier Carlablackiae genetics.

If temperatures at your destination are low, please add a heat pack or heat pack + insulation to your order for safer transit.
