Thor’s Lightning™ ‘51’’s electric venation crossed with the burgundy-to-near-black foundation of the Michelle™ line.

Anticipate dark, velvety heart-shaped leaves carrying high-contrast, lightning-bright veins over the X-shape pattern characteristic of Michelle. A bold, theatrical Premier for the collector who wants maximum vein contrast on near-black foliage.

The DocBlock™ Premier™ collection from leafjoy® houseplants showcases premium hybrid Anthuriums born from decades of award-winning selective breeding by Dr. Jeff Block. Every Premier is seed-grown and visually distinct, so no two plants are exactly alike. Your one-of-a-kind specimen will mature into a velvet-leaf beauty with hues that may range from deep red to rich purple to intense green, and venation patterns from silvery to white to pink-tinged.

Thor’s Lightning™ ‘51’’s dramatic vein contrast pollinated by the primary-red emergent of Crystal Red™ ‘12’.

New leaves arrive in saturated red velvet, often holding the Crystal Red “red eye” at the petiole, before maturing to deep green traversed by bright, lightning-like veins along the T-shape pattern. A vivid, color-forward Premier.

Every regal collection needs a showstopper, and 'Princess "Black Rose"' plays the part in leaves instead of petals. This calathea ( Calathea ) earns its name with near-black foliage streaked in a vivid, hot-pink midrib and veining — as if brushed on with a single, deliberate stroke of paint. Like other prayer plants, its foliage folds up at night and unfurls again by day. Give this regal calathea bright, indirect light well out of harsh direct sun (which can fade its dark color), high humidity, and water once the top inch of soil dries, and 'Princess "Black Rose"' will reign over your plant collection.

Introducing Scented Roots™ 'Red Rubin' ( Alpinia luteocarpa ), a bamboo ginger built for a little drama: slender, lance-shaped leaves stay cool green on top and blaze a deep ruby-red underneath, the exact shade that gives 'Red Rubin' its name. True to its aromatic ginger roots, it grows in upright, cane-like clumps and may eventually send up creamy white flowers blushed with pink. Give it partial shade to bright, filtered light, an evenly damp and well-drained mix, and the warm, humid corner of your home it was born for, and it will reward you with color at every turn.

Light, airy and almost otherworldly, Living Lace® 'Ethereal' ( Asparagus ) is the most weightless thread in the Living Lace® collection. Its feather-soft, thread-like foliage seems to float, swaying in even the slightest breeze. Here's a little secret: despite its delicate looks, 'Ethereal' isn't a true fern at all. It belongs to the asparagus family, which makes it far more adaptable and forgiving than its lacy looks suggest. Give it medium, indirect light and a bit of humidity, and let this graceful plant bring a soft, dreamy touch to your space.

All hail the Regal Flamingo Flower (Anthurium regale), producing some of the largest velvet foliage of any cultivated anthurium: broad, heart-shaped leaves in matte, velvety dark green, mapped with a network of pale, almost-white veins. Native to Peru's understory forests, where mature specimens ascend trees via their own aerial roots, yours arrives compact and architectural, rewarding a little patience as it settles in. Give it gentle, indirect light set back from a bright window, soil that doesn't dry out completely, and humidity on the higher end, and let it grow into its name.

Color Full® Veitchiana ( Calathea veitchiana ) earns its series name twice over. Each rounded, wavy-edged leaf carries a loose feathering of lime green and cream over deep green, with a rich burgundy underside. It's an upright, slow-growing clumper that rewards patience: give it medium, indirect light and keep it out of direct sun, which scorches the leaves; use distilled or rainwater to keep soil evenly damp, since ordinary tap water's fluoride can brown the leaf edges; and provide humidity above 60% to keep those brushstrokes sharp.

Meet 'Medallion V2' ( Calathea roseopicta ), an even more painterly encore to our classic Color Full® 'Medallion' — same round, medallion-shaped leaves, turned up a shade brighter. Each leaf carries a hand-brushed pattern of silvery green and cream, framed in a dark green border, with a wine-purple underside that folds skyward every night, prayer-plant style. Give 'Medallion V2' medium to low, indirect light and let the top inch of soil dry between waterings — never let it sit in water. High humidity keeps those brushstrokes crisp and its edges from browning.

‘Tasmanian Tiger’ boasts large, dark green leaves with mottled yellow striping that mimics the majestic stripes of a tiger. Growing quite large over time, ‘Tasmanian Tiger’ has the potential to reign supreme over your collection–especially if it is given medium to bright light, consistent moisture, and warm temperatures above 60 degrees. This is an easy-to-grow variety, overall, but it does not like cold drafts. The common name for this plant is “dumb cane” because consumption of its sap may cause throat swelling & speechlessness, thus rendering one “dumb.”
