Anthurium veitchii – King Anthurium 👑🌿

Known for its dramatically elongated, rippled leaves, Anthurium veitchii is a true royalty in the plant world. This tropical epiphyte can develop corrugated leaves over a metre long, giving it a bold, sculptural presence in any indoor jungle. A must-have for serious collectors.

Key Features:

✔ Long, pleated leaves with a glossy, architectural look
✔ Known as the King Anthurium for its commanding form
✔ Native to Colombia’s rainforests – thrives in warm, humid homes
✔ Slow-growing but incredibly rewarding
✔ Ideal for statement planters or elevated shelves

Care Instructions:

• Light: Loves bright, indirect light – avoid direct sun which can scorch leaves

• Watering: Keep soil consistently moist, allowing the top layer to dry slightly between waterings

• Humidity: Requires high humidity (60–80%) – mist regularly or use a humidifier

• Soil: Use a chunky, well-draining mix – orchid bark, perlite, and compost work well

• Feeding: Feed monthly in spring/summer with a balanced or foliage-focused fertiliser

• Temperature: Keep above 18°C – sensitive to cold or dry air

• Growth Habit: Upright and slow – patience pays off with incredible leaf development

🌿 Tip: Keep dust off the leaves to help photosynthesis and maintain their natural shine – use a soft damp cloth.
