Anthurium radicans x luxurians

Anthurium radicans x luxurians is a cultivated hybrid between two textured Anthurium species. It forms a compact crown with thick, bullate leaves that emerge in red, bronze or maroon tones before maturing into deep green.

The leaves are firm and quilted, with raised ridges and recessed areas that create strong surface texture. Mature foliage becomes heavier and more sculptural, while the plant usually remains manageable in a pot.

Textured hybrid features

  • Hybrid background: A cross between Anthurium radicans and Anthurium luxurians.
  • Leaf texture: Strongly bullate blades with a raised, quilted surface.
  • New growth: Emerging leaves often show red, bronze or maroon tones.
  • Growth habit: Compact to medium crown-forming Anthurium for pot culture.
  • Root system: Thick roots need moisture, warmth and generous air space.

Parent species and pot growth

Anthurium radicans is native to eastern Bahia in Brazil and grows as a perennial or lithophyte in wet tropical habitat. Anthurium luxurians is native to Colombia and grows as a subshrub in the wet tropical biome. Their hybrid combines compact growth with dense, textured foliage and coloured emerging leaves.

The crown stays relatively contained while mature leaves gain weight and deeper surface relief. A stable pot and open substrate keep the thick roots aerated beneath the heavy foliage.

Care for Anthurium radicans x luxurians

  • Light: Place in bright filtered light. Strong indirect light keeps leaves firm and can deepen red-bronze tones in new growth.
  • Watering: Water once the upper 20–30% of the pot has dried. Keep the lower root zone lightly moist with free drainage.
  • Substrate: Use a chunky mix with bark, coco chips, pumice or lava rock, perlite and a small organic fraction.
  • Pot stability: Choose a stable pot with drainage. Mature leaves can become heavy, so balance matters as the crown fills out.
  • Humidity: Aim for 60–80% humidity for cleaner new leaves and fewer dry edge marks. Keep gentle airflow around the crown.
  • Temperature: Maintain 20–28°C during active growth. A warm root zone keeps thick Anthurium roots active.
  • Feeding: Feed at reduced strength during active growth. Increase only when the plant is producing roots and leaves steadily.
  • Repotting: Repot when roots crowd the container or the mix begins to collapse. Move up gradually to maintain aeration.
  • Pruning: Remove ageing leaves once they decline naturally, cutting close to the base with clean tools.
  • Propagation: Propagate by division or stem sections with nodes. Seed-grown offspring from hybrids can vary in texture and colour.

Issues on Anthurium radicans x luxurians

  • Yellowing with soft growth: Check for dense substrate, poor drainage or cold wet roots.
  • Brown edges: Review humidity, watering pattern, fertiliser strength and salt build-up.
  • Flatter new leaves: Assess root health, light and feeding. Immature or stressed growth can show weaker texture.
  • Stalled growth: Inspect the root system. Thick roots need open air spaces through the mix.
  • Marks on soft leaves: Check for thrips, mites and mechanical damage while new growth is still expanding.

Mature leaves show deeper relief, heavier substance and a denser crown than young growth. The hybrid usually remains manageable in a pot while building a thick, quilted surface over time.

Anthurium radicans x luxurians handling safety

Anthurium radicans x luxurians should be kept away from pets and children that may chew plant material. Like other Anthuriums, its tissues contain insoluble calcium oxalate crystals that may irritate the mouth, throat and digestive tract if chewed or swallowed. Place it out of reach of pets and children, and wash your hands after pruning or handling damaged tissue.

Beautiful Retelling of the Christmas Story
Format: Hardcover
I've really appreciated reading from The First Nations Version over the last couple of years, and I'm excited for this book to make it easier to share with a younger audience! One of the things I appreciate about the FNV is how well it flows as a story, and this picture book is no different. It transitions smoothly from the Luke portion to Matthew. The illustrations are lovely watercolors and give me new imagination for Jesus coming for all people. I already bought copies for my nephews, and I'm looking forward to giving them to them for the Christmas season.

Native American telling of the Nativity
Format: Hardcover
Intriguing. Told through Native American thought. I've shared it with others who in turn have purchased it for their grandchildren. Led me to purchase the New Testament translated by the same person.

Wow.
Format: Hardcover
Not only did Terry Wildman knock the retelling out of the park, the artists created a visually stunning representation of the story. I am in awe and can’t wait to find worthy applications of this book.

Insightful Iteration of the Christmas Story, Minus the European Lens
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
Premise Birth of the Chosen One is a picture book adaptation of the birth of Jesus, with text taken from the First Nations Version: An Indigenous Translation of the New Testament. This translation was overseen by Terry M. Wildman, in collaboration with an intertribal committee of First Nations Americans. I recommend checking out the website to learn more about this beautiful project, and checking out the clip of the First Nations version of The Lord’s Prayer. A quick disclaimer: Although I am multitribal Indigenous American, I am not well-acquainted with the culture. As I struggled a bit to write this review, I shared the story with my mom, who is much more familiar with our culture. To my observation, my mom found the book to be beautiful and moving. Storytelling The story of Jesus’ birth, attested to in Scripture, is often filtered through a European lens. So often, nativity portrayals depict lightly complected versions of Mary and Joseph– an incongruous incarnation of their middle-Eastern heritage. Renaissance artwork was, I believe, instrumental in forming these pictures within the western imagination. Birth of the Chosen One tells the story of Jesus’ birth through the lens of Indigenous American storytelling. I’m so grateful for this portrayal, which offers representation to young Indigenous readers, while also affording those of other backgrounds insight into a different culture. Translation of Proper Nouns One of the most striking elements that distinguishes this translation of the Christmas story from more common English translations is the translations of the names. While reading the story to myself, I was a bit perplexed by some of the names (Mary, for example, is known as Bitter Tears). In sharing the story with my mom, however, she pointed me to the Hebrew origins of the familiar names we read in the Christmas story. I learned from my mom that one meaning of Mary is, indeed, “bitter,” and we also learned from the story that Bethlehem means “House of Bread.” As my mom pointed out, this is a very powerful truth, since Jesus describes Himself as the “Bread of Life.” Throughout the story, these translated names bring new meaning to the birth of Jesus. It was eye-opening to see how much of the story is missed, with Anglicized names that don’t mean as much to the average reader as they would have meant to the Ancient Hebrew/Jew. Helpfully, the Author’s Note at the end of the story offers a list of corresponding Anglicized / translated names and locations. Narrative Rendering Just as the translated nouns bring fresh meaning to the familiar account of Christmas, the narrative also draws out the truth of Jesus’ coming in a way that is both powerful and meaning-ful. Jesus Himself spoke in stories, and I am personally a huge fan of allegory. For me, the different style presented the sweet simplicity of the truth of the Gospel, with refreshing novelty. The words of Jesus’ birth, so familiar to me, take on new meaning with different stylistic presentation. My favorite passage in the story comes from the mouth of Creator’s Chosen One (the angel Gabriel). He tells Bitter Tears, “He will set people free from their bad hearts and broken ways.” I consider the phrase “bad hearts and broken ways” to be a more meaning-ful iteration of the concept of sin. And, the Gospel itself is referred to as “the good story,” which I considered to be a beautiful (and once again, more powerful) descriptor. Illustrations Hannah and Holly Buchanan render the story of Jesus’ birth in lively colors, with images that bring First Nations culture to life. The twin sisters are completing PhDs in art history, and the Indigenous characters are depicted in traditional attire. While I don’t have the vocabulary to describe all of the details, I do really like seeing the Nativity presented in this way– with characters portrayed in a more relatable way. Readers who are not First Nations have the opportunity to visit Bethlehem, the House of Bread, in a new way, rather than in the style and coloration of European art. The following elements stood out to me: Use of sweet, colorful wildflowers– both in the meadow landscape and as a decorative vine/garland Jesus’ star is portrayed as hugely illuminating and BRILLIANT, with the size and radiance of a sun The characters’ faces are expressive. Bitter Tears often appears solemn or thoughtful. The Seekers of Wisdom blend thoughtfulness and hope. Chief Looks Brave (Herod) appears as a stony-faced background silhouette. (I found this stylistic choice to be especially effective). Content / Discussion Note On the page about the heavenly chorus, the text describes “a great number of spirit warriors.” The illustration includes the single “spirit-warrior,” portrayed as a man with eagle feathers and an eagle headress– alongside other eagles. My hesitation here is that the spirit-warriors / angels are being depicted as eagles. The book of Ezekiel, however, does describe certain supernatural beings with aquiline characteristics. Recommendation Status Birth of the Chosen One is an important Christmas story because it removes the Western lens through which many of us have been taught to read the nativity. The direct translations from the original Hebrew language are eye-opening and offer much-needed context. I would consider myself well-acquainted with the Christmas story, and I learned from this book. I’m also so happy for the representation offered in Birth of the Chosen One. Recommended for readers of all ages, regardless of cultural background. Disclosure: I received a complimentary copy of the book from the publisher. Opinions expressed are my own.
