Anthurium warocqueanum

The Anthurium warocqueanum, or "Queen Anthurium," is prized for its long, velvety dark green leaves with striking silvery veins. This epiphytic aroid thrives in well-aerated substrate and needs consistently high humidity to develop its impressive foliage.

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight must be strictly avoided as it will burn the velvety leaves.
• Temperature: Thrives in warm, stable conditions, ideally between 68-86°F (20-30°C). It is sensitive to cold and should be kept above 65°F (18°C).
• Humidity: Requires high and stable humidity, ideally 70-85%. A humidifier can be used to prevent the edges of the leaves from browning.
• Watering: Use a very open, chunky mix and allow it to dry out slightly between waterings. The roots need excellent airflow and will quickly rot if the substrate stays saturated.

Additional Notes

The leaves of mature specimens can become impressively long and may need gentle vertical support. Like all Anthuriums, this plant is considered toxic if ingested by humans or pets.
