    Named after American physician-botanist, Dr. Jeff Block’s, lovely wife, is a show-stopping, nearly as lovely anthurium with a bold, modern edge. Say hello to DocBlock’s infamous Michelle®!  This award-winning anthurium features gorgeous, heart-shaped leaves that shimmer with velvety opulence, in colors ranging from burgundy-purple to intense, dark green. Leaves have striking venation, in shades of bright white and pink, adding dramatic contrast. Unlike the outers of each leaf, which feature rich, dark hues, the undersides lighten from lavender to pale green over time, adding additional contrast and dimension. Each leaf on Michelle® is a visual masterpiece, as elegant as its namesake!


    DocBlock® Michelle® was awarded “Best New Flowering Plant” at the Tropical Plant International Expo (TPIE) in 2022

    Maintenance Notes: 
    • For optimal performance, keep your Anthurium at 60-85°F (15-29°C). 
    • Anthuriums perform best in bright, indirect light or filtered sunlight. Place your Anthurium in a bright window with other plants nearby, or sheer curtains to filter the sunlight. Too much direct sunlight can scorch the leaves. Anthuriums will tolerate lower light conditions, but will not flourish or grow as prolifically.
    • Anthuriums appreciate high humidity (60-80%), so feel free to mist them regularly or use a humidifier.
    • Anthuriums prefer to be consistently moist, but not wet, and they need to have good drainage. As such, water your Anthurium thoroughly when the top 1-2 inches of soil feels dry. Ensure good drainage and do not allow your Anthurium to sit in water for extended periods of time.
    • Feed your Anthurium once per month at half strength when it is actively growing. Reduce frequency of fertilization in the winter months. If no new leaves are growing, it does not need to be fertilized.
    • Protect furniture when watering & fertilizing.
    • When repotting your Anthurium, use an all-purpose potting mix, with additional orchid bark and perlite added, to ensure your Anthurium has good drainage and plenty of nutrients.
