Anthurium watermaliense

Anthurium watermaliense is the accepted species behind the common names Black Anthurium and Black Prince, both used for its dark violet-purple spathe. The foliage itself is glossy green, deeply lobed and held from a short, thick-rooted crown.

The plant can grow terrestrially or occasionally epiphytically in wet tropical habitats. In cultivation, it needs steady moisture, warm conditions and an open substrate that keeps oxygen around the roots.

Recognising Anthurium watermaliense

  • Foliage: Deeply lobed, cordate leaves with a glossy to semi-glossy upper surface.
  • Inflorescence: Dark violet-purple spathe, often the reason for the Black Anthurium nickname.
  • Growth habit: Short-stemmed Anthurium with thick roots and a self-standing crown.
  • Cataphylls: Protective leaf sheaths can wear into fibres around the stem.
  • Origin: Native from Costa Rica to Colombia in wet tropical habitats.
  • Root structure: Dense roots need moisture and air rather than compact, saturated substrate.

Leaves, roots and spathe of Anthurium watermaliense

Anthurium watermaliense has lobed, glossy leaves with a paler underside and a compact stem that stays close to the pot. Mature plants can produce a dark spathe that may appear almost black in certain light, although botanically it is better described as deep violet-purple.

The thick roots need moisture and oxygen at the same time. A bark-rich aroid mix keeps the root zone open, while regular but measured watering prevents the crown from sitting in stale, saturated substrate.

Indoor care for Anthurium watermaliense

  • Light: Bright filtered light keeps the leaves firm and reduces scorch risk on glossy surfaces.
  • Watering: Keep the mix lightly moist, then let excess water drain fully after each watering.
  • Substrate: Use an airy organic aroid mix with bark, coarse fibre and mineral structure.
  • Humidity: Moderate to high humidity keeps new leaves and inflorescences from drying at the edges.
  • Temperature: Warm, stable conditions are important; cold wet roots can decline quickly.
  • Potting: Keep the crown slightly above the substrate surface so the short stem stays dry and ventilated.
  • Feeding: Feed lightly during active growth and flush the pot occasionally to reduce salt marks on leaf edges.

Leaf, root and spathe issues on Anthurium watermaliense

  • Soft yellowing leaves: Check drainage and root condition, especially if the substrate feels dense or sour.
  • Brown edges: Low humidity, inconsistent watering or fertiliser salts can mark the leaf margins.
  • Damaged spathe: Dry air, handling or transport can crease or dry the dark spathe.
  • Pest marks: Inspect new growth, petioles and leaf undersides for thrips, mites and mealybugs.

Plant safety with Anthurium watermaliense

Keep Anthurium watermaliense away from pets and small children. Like other Anthurium species, it contains calcium oxalate crystals that can irritate the mouth, throat, skin and eyes.

Botanical notes on Anthurium watermaliense

Anthurium watermaliense was described by L.H.Bailey and Nash and published in 1914. It is an accepted Araceae species native from Costa Rica to Colombia. The genus name Anthurium refers to the tail-like spadix of the inflorescence.

Vivid Detailed Book
Format: Hardcover
I bought this book for my husband whose a big Assassin's Creed fan. The pages are filled with vivid images. Yes, there are spoilers in the book. It walks the reader through every aspect of the games: timelines, gear and weapons, characters, and etc. This book makes a great gift!

At least it's beautiful!
Format: Hardcover
Firstly, this book is beautiful to look at. The pages are heavy and glossy, and the artwork is all wonderful. Lots of things from the now defunct Initiates made it into the book, as well as the "conclusion" of the Desmond thread of the Modern Day plot from the comics. It's nice to lay on the coffee table for gamer friends to stare at for a few minutes. The major problem is the factual errors and editing issues. They're not obvious on first glance, but when you look a second or third time things truly stand out. Things like calling Chrétien Lafrenière one of Germain's allies on [Germain's] his profile page. I won't put all the errors I've found in my review for brevity, but for an item aimed at fans, it's disappointing to find so many of them. And these aren't small/minor details that are wrong. They're major plot points and important details of main story missions. I'm still a fan of the series and I'm happy to have the book for the art, but I would never suggest it for the content. The fan-run wiki (which is mentioned in the thanks section) is far more accurate and complete.

Beautiful book and artwork
Format: Hardcover
The book comes within a slip case so it remains undamaged, and the open spine makes it really comfortable to hold and look through. There is a lot of gorgeous artwork of characters' different armor and dye variations, and the landscape works are very moody and atmospheric. There's also a lot of storyboarding, menu mockups, and promo pieces. There is a little too much white space around the images, but at least it keeps the format consistent.

Beautiful Book with Surprising Extra Details
Format: Hardcover
If you, or someone you know, is a fan of this game there will be no disappointment in this purchase. I bought 3 different 'Game Art' books for 3 of my nephews this Christmas and this one far surpassed the others in detail and overall unboxing experience. The extra sleeve of the book along with the Japanese style spine binding are just some of the details that set this one apart. You can tell that a lot of the creative passion from the game was translated to this book's aesthetic. This is brand awareness done right! Note: The other 2 books were for 'Apex Legends & Last of Us 2' and they were great as well, but this one stood out and they were essentially all the same price.
