Anthurium warocqueanum)

The Queen Anthurium (Anthurium warocqueanum) is a highly sought-after tropical houseplant known for its dramatically long, velvety, dark green leaves with prominent silvery-white veins, mimicking royalty, hence its name. Native to Colombian rainforests, it’s an epiphytic climber requiring high humidity (70-80%), bright indirect light, warm temperatures (18-30°C/65-86°F), and a chunky, well-draining soil mix (like bark, moss, perlite) to prevent root rot. While demanding specific conditions, it rewards growers with stunning, large foliage that can grow over a meter long indoors, making it a prized collector’s plant.
