About
Anthurium clarinervium 'Dark Form' is a selected colour form of the standard Mexican species, bred and grown on for a noticeably deeper, almost blackish-green leaf blade than typical clarinervium. The extra depth of ground colour throws the signature geometric white venation into even sharper contrast, and unlike a chimeric variegation this trait is stable — it reproduces true from division or tissue culture rather than requiring a specific cutting node. The plant keeps clarinervium's compact, velvety, deeply cordate leaf shape; the difference is purely tonal, but it is a striking one that has made the Dark Form a consistent seller alongside the standard species at UK specialist nurseries.
