Anthurium 'Dorayaki'

Anthurium 'Dorayaki' is a compact velvet Anthurium grown for rounded, silver-veined leaves held in a tidy self-heading crown. The blades are broadly heart-shaped to nearly circular, with a soft velvet surface and bright venation.

Fresh blades expand pale and delicate, then darken and firm as they mature. The roots need warmth, moisture and oxygen at the same time, so a breathable Anthurium mix is important.

Anthurium 'Dorayaki' key traits

• Leaf shape: Rounded heart-shaped to near-circular blades.
• Leaf surface: Velvet texture with a soft sheen under filtered light.
• Venation: Silver to pale green veins create a clear radial pattern.
• Growth habit: Compact self-heading Anthurium with a neat central crown.

Anthurium 'Dorayaki' indoor care

• Light: Provide bright filtered light and protect soft or pale foliage from harsh midday sun.
• Watering: Water when the upper part of the substrate has started to dry, then drain thoroughly.
• Substrate: Use a loose Anthurium mix with bark, coco chips, pumice or perlite so roots receive moisture and oxygen.
• Temperature: Keep warm, ideally around 18–28 °C, and protect from cold wet substrate.
• Humidity: Moderate to high humidity helps new leaves expand cleanly; pair humidity with gentle airflow.
• Feeding: Feed lightly during active growth with a diluted complete fertiliser.
• Repotting: Repot when roots fill the pot or the mix begins to collapse.
• Pot size: Keep the pot proportionate to the root system because oversized pots hold excess moisture.

Anthurium 'Dorayaki' issues to check

• Yellowing lower leaves: Check for compacted substrate, cool roots or a pot staying wet for too long.
• Brown edges: Review humidity, watering gaps and fertiliser strength.
• Distorted new growth: Inspect young leaves for thrips or mites and stabilise humidity.
• Soft stems or crown: Check root health and improve drainage immediately.
