Anthurium Warocqueanum Dark Form, famously known as the Queen Anthurium, is an iconic tropical species native to the rainforests of Colombia. This rare and regal aroid is prized for its long, dramatic foliage - deep emerald to nearly black-green velvety leaves accented with striking pale green to silvery-white veins.
The Dark Form stands out for its richer, darker foliage and slightly wider spacing between the veins, giving each leaf a bold, elegant appearance compared to the regular green form. As the plant matures, its luxurious leaves can grow impressively long, creating a dramatic cascading display.
What Makes It Special:
✔Dark Velvety Foliage – One of the most iconic velvet-leaf anthuriums. Mature leaves can grow impressively long and elegant.
✔ Moderate Care – Best suited for plant collectors or growers familiar with tropical humidity-loving plants.
✔ Expertly Repotted – Nestled in our premium 5-component soil blend for strong roots and perfect moisture balance.
✔ Locally Grown & Acclimated – Thrives faster and stays healthier, already adapted to your home’s conditions.🍁

Care Guide
Light: Bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sun. Avoid direct sunlight - it can scorch the leaves. Can tolerate moderate light indoors but colors may fade.
Water: Keep soil evenly moist but never soggy. Water when the top 1–2 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid water on leaves to prevent spots or rot.
Soil: Well-draining, peat-based potting mix. Add perlite or orchid bark for extra aeration.
Temperature: Thrives in 18–25°C (65–77°F). Keep above 15°C (59°F). Avoid cold drafts.
Humidity: Prefers high humidity (50–70%). Mist occasionally or use a pebble tray. Avoid placing near dry air vents or heaters.
Fertilizer: Feed with diluted balanced fertilizer every 4–6 weeks in spring–summer.
Pruning & Maintenance: Remove dead or yellowing leaves regularly. Pinch back stems to encourage bushier growth.
Repotting: Repot every 1–2 years or when root-bound. Best in spring when growth resumes.
Tips: Keep away from direct sun and cold drafts. Rotate the plant for even growth and leaf exposure. Ideal for tabletops, shelves, and indoor plant displays.
