Anthurium Veitchii, commonly known as the King Anthurium, is a magnificent and highly sought-after plant, particularly revered by tropical plant enthusiasts for its extraordinary foliage. Native to the rainforests of Colombia, this epiphytic species is part of the Araceae family and is renowned for its impressive, pendulous leaves that can grow up to 6 feet in length in their natural habitat. The leaves are deep green, with a glossy surface and pronounced veining that gives them a ribbed texture, resembling the back of a dragon, which adds to their exotic allure.

What to expect

The plant comes with a default nursery pot. The nursery pot is usually 0.5" - 1" smaller than stated to fit into the same size decorative pot. Washable Paper Planter Bags are sold separately.

Care Guide

How to take care of Anthurium Veitchii

Sun: Indirect

Anthurium Veitchii should not be in a position to see the sun directly, although early morning or late evening sun is fine. Filtered sunlight through a sheer curtain is best and most homes are comprised primarily of indirect sunlight. The best spot for them is where they do not see the sun during the majority of the day but still get bright, indirect light.

Light: Bright

Anthurium Veitchii will do best in bright light. A nice bright place inside your home would be on the window sill or a stool that is right next to a window, either with or without blinds, depending on if the plant can handle sun. Remember that plants will grow based on how much light they receive.

Water: When top quarter dry

Allow the top quarter of the soil to dry before watering Anthurium Veitchii again. This usually takes about 3 - 4 days in an average home environment. It will vary depending on the time of year, your environment and lighting conditions. Expect to water more often in brighter light and less often in lower light.

Humidity: High

Anthurium Veitchii likes a high humidity environment, give them a mist daily or as often as possible. Alternatively, you can put them around a humidifier. Although they won't die if they don't receive enough humidity, their leaves may have some dry, crunchy, or yellow edges.

Pet Caution

Anthurium Veitchii is moderately toxic and can cause some adverse reactions when ingested so it is best to not let your pets eat it, which we advise for all plants in general. The severity of the reaction will depend on how much of the plant is ingested but, if you know your pet typically does not eat your plants, this plant will be suitable for your home.

Introducing the Anthurium Veitchii, often referred to as the King Anthurium, a majestic and striking houseplant that not only commands attention with its impressive foliage but also symbolizes enduring beauty and the allure of the exotic.

The Anthurium Veitchii is celebrated for its long, pendulous leaves that can grow several feet in length.

The plant's elongated, heart-shaped leaves, reminiscent of a king's sceptre, contribute to its common name and make it a focal point in any indoor garden.

Caring for the Anthurium Veitchii involves replicating its native tropical environment as closely as possible. It thrives in warm, humid conditions with bright, indirect light. This light requirement emphasizes the plant's need for a nurturing environment that encourages growth without causing stress or damage.

When watering your Anthurium Veitchii, aim to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Proper drainage is essential to prevent root rot, teaching us the importance of balance and the need to provide care without overwhelming.
