Meet Anthurium veitchii—the king with the rippled cape. Her long, pendant leaves form dramatic pleats that look almost carved, giving her one of the most regal silhouettes in the Anthurium world. Elegant, architectural and unmistakably premium, she is a true collector classic.

  • The Formal Name: Anthurium veitchii
  • The Nickname: King Anthurium
  • Roots: A Colombian Anthurium species famous for long, corrugated leaves.
  • Natural Vibe: Humid tropical forest habitats where plants climb and leaves hang in graceful, pleated sheets.

Care Guide

  • Care Guide:
  • Sunlight: Bright, indirect light keeps the leaves strong and glossy; avoid harsh direct sun.
  • Best Room: A warm plant room, bright bathroom or greenhouse cabinet with stable humidity.
  • Snacks: Use a diluted balanced aroid fertiliser every 4–6 weeks in active growth.
  • Tropical Feels: She appreciates high humidity, ideally 60–80%, especially while unfurling new leaves.
  • Cosy Factor: Keep her stable at 18–27°C and protect from cold draughts.
  • Thirst: Let the top layer of mix begin to dry before watering again; never leave her sitting in water.
  • Safety First: Toxic – Anthuriums contain calcium oxalate crystals, so keep away from pets and small hands.
  • The Bedding: A chunky, fast-draining aroid mix with bark, perlite and airy fibre is essential.
  • Family Tree: Best propagated by careful division when the plant has multiple growth points.
  • Space Needs: Needs vertical room as leaves mature and begin to hang beautifully.
  • Speed: Slow to moderate, with each new leaf feeling like a proper event.
  • Uninvited Guests: Check leaf joins and undersides for mealybugs, thrips and spider mites.
  • Moving Day: Repot every 1–2 years or when the mix begins to compact.
  • Haircut: Remove spent or damaged leaves cleanly at the stem base.
  • Fresh Air: A luxurious foliage plant that brings boutique jungle drama indoors.
  • Plant Lore: She is called the King Anthurium for a reason—few foliage plants look this grand once mature.
