Anthurium warocqueanum, known as the Queen Anthurium, is one of the most coveted aroids in cultivation. Its long, pendulous leaves are deeply velvety, dark green, with a network of contrasting silver-white veins that become more defined as the plant matures. In ideal conditions the leaves can reach extraordinary lengths. It is not the easiest Anthurium to grow, but for those who can meet its needs it is one of the most rewarding.

Origins
Native to the tropical rainforests of Colombia, Anthurium warocqueanum grows as a hemiepiphyte in humid, shaded understorey environments, anchoring itself to tree trunks. Providing a moss pole or mount in cultivation will encourage the largest and most dramatic leaf development.

Soil and Substrate
As a hemiepiphyte, Anthurium warocqueanum is intolerant of dense, moisture-retaining substrates. Our Anthurium Premium Potting Mix is peat-free and formulated specifically for demanding Anthuriums as it is structured for drainage and aeration.
