Anthurium Magnificum ‘Silver’ × Red Gunsal

Anthurium Magnificum Silver × Red Gunsal

Bred by WhisperRock Tropicals

Overview

This foliage-focused Anthurium hybrid is bred for depth, contrast, and evolving texture. It brings together the architectural structure and pronounced venation of Magnificum Silver with the rich pigmentation and velvety character of Red Gunsal, creating a plant with strong visual presence and long-term developmental interest.

Lineage & Background

Magnificum Silver contributes broad, heart-shaped leaves, refined symmetry, and bold venation, providing structure and balance. The Red Gunsal parent—originally developed by Dadeng in Indonesia—introduces saturated pigmentation and velvety texture, with new growth often emerging in deeper red to burgundy tones before darkening with maturity. Together, these lineages form a hybrid selected for contrast between light and shadow.

Expected Characteristics

• Broad, heart-shaped foliage with strong venation

• New growth may show red to burgundy tones from Red Gunsal influence

• Leaf color expected to deepen as foliage matures

• Texture ranging from smooth to velvety with age

As with all Anthurium hybrids, final expression will vary as the plant matures.
