Variant

Anthurium Warocqueanum Dark Form, famously known as the Queen Anthurium, is an iconic species native to the rainforests of Colombia. This rare and regal aroid is admired for its elongated, velvety leaves—deep emerald to nearly black-green—etched with contrasting pale green to silvery-white veins. The “Dark Form” is distinguished by its richer, darker foliage and slightly wider spacing between veins, giving each leaf a bold, elegant appearance, compared to the regular green form. A member of the Cardiolonchium group, known for their luxurious, velvet-textured leaves, Anthurium warocqueanum embodies true tropical sophistication and remains a centrepiece in any collector’s display.

Care Guide

How to take care of Anthurium Warocqueanum Dark Form

Sun: Indirect

Anthurium Warocqueanum Dark Form 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: Medium - Bright

Anthurium Warocqueanum Dark Form will thrive in bright light, but also can tolerate medium light. A good medium-light place in your home would be in the middle of a room that has a regular size window. They can be placed anywhere between the middle of the room and the window. 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 Warocqueanum Dark Form 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 Warocqueanum Dark Form 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 Warocqueanum Dark Form 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.

Plant Story

Introducing the Anthurium Warocqueanum Dark Form, a legendary beauty known as the Queen Anthurium — a plant that embodies grace, strength, and quiet majesty. With its velvety leaves and luminous veins, it symbolizes refinement, endurance, and the power of presence.

Endemic to the rainforests of Colombia, this epiphytic aroid is one of the crown jewels of the Cardiolonchium group — the famed “velvet-leaved” Anthuriums. Its elongated, leathery leaves are deep emerald green with a soft satin sheen, each one adorned with an intricate network of bright, light-green veins that gleam against the dark surface like threads of light through silk.

The ‘Dark Form’ distinguishes itself by its deeper coloration and smoother venation — its leaves darker and more saturated, the veins fewer but more defined, lending it an elegant simplicity compared to the regular form. In maturity, its foliage can reach remarkable lengths, cascading like rich velvet drapery that commands attention without ever raising its voice.

This Queen thrives in bright, indirect light and high humidity, where her leaves remain lush and lustrous. Like any symbol of quiet strength, she teaches that true magnificence requires patience — slow, steady growth nurtured in consistency and care.

Water when the top layer of soil begins to dry, keeping her roots lightly moist yet never saturated. In this balance of restraint and nourishment lies her secret to lasting beauty — a reminder that luxury, in nature and in life, is often sustained by mindfulness.

Welcome the Anthurium Warocqueanum Dark Form into your collection, and let it inspire you with its symbolism of grace, resilience, and quiet strength. It’s not just a plant; it’s a reminder that true royalty needs no crown — only presence.
