The Velvet Queen of Aroids

Meet the legendary Anthurium Warocqueanum, the undisputed Queen of the collector world. Renowned for its dramatic, dark green, velvety leaves that can grow to astonishing lengths, this plant is a breathtaking centrepiece. The foliage feels like crushed velvet, with crystalline silver veins that shimmer in the light. This is not a beginner's houseplant; it's a rewarding project for the dedicated aroid enthusiast who is ready for a challenge. The Queen demands specific conditions, particularly high humidity, making it a perfect candidate for a greenhouse cabinet or a carefully controlled indoor environment. Grown right here in the EU with love, this young plant is your chance to raise royalty.

Why You'll Love It

  • Unmatched Foliage: Experience the iconic, elongated leaves with a deep velvet texture and striking silver venation that defines a high-end collection.
  • A Rewarding Challenge: Successfully growing a Warocqueanum is a true badge of honour for any plant collector, offering immense satisfaction as it unfurls each new, majestic leaf.
  • Statement Piece: Even as a juvenile plant, its unique texture and form command attention and signal a sophisticated taste in botanicals.
  • Collector's Classic: Owning a Queen Anthurium is a rite of passage for many serious aroid collectors; it's a living work of art with enduring appeal.

Care Essentials

Light: Provide very bright, indirect light. An east-facing window or a spot a metre or two back from a south or west-facing window is ideal. It must be protected from direct sun, which will scorch the delicate leaves. Insufficient light will result in slow growth and smaller leaves.

Water: This is critical. Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of the substrate feels dry to the touch. It must never sit in water, as its fine roots are highly susceptible to rot. When in doubt, it's better to wait another day. During winter, reduce watering frequency as growth slows.

Soil/Substrate: A super chunky, airy, well-draining aroid mix is non-negotiable. Our aroid substrate mix is perfect, or you can create your own using a blend of orchid bark, perlite, coco chunks, and charcoal to ensure maximum oxygen at the roots.

Humidity & Airflow: The Queen demands high humidity, consistently above 70%. This is best achieved in a greenhouse cabinet, a terrarium, or with a powerful humidifier running nearby. It also appreciates gentle airflow to prevent fungal issues, so avoid completely stagnant air.

Pet Safety

Important: Like other members of the Araceae family, Anthurium Warocqueanum is toxic to cats, dogs, and humans if ingested. The plant contains calcium oxalate crystals which can cause irritation and swelling. Please place it safely out of reach of curious pets and children.

Common Issues

  • Crispy Leaf Edges/Tips: The most common issue, almost always caused by insufficient humidity.
  • Yellowing Leaves: Can be a sign of overwatering (check the roots for rot), or simply the plant shedding an older leaf to focus energy on new growth, which is common during acclimation.
  • Brown Spots on Leaves: Could be a bacterial/fungal issue from water sitting on the leaves in a low-airflow environment, or sometimes from sunburn.
  • Stunted Growth: Usually a result of inadequate light, low humidity, or being kept in a substrate that is too dense and wet.

Botanical Background

Native to the warm, wet, tropical rainforests of Colombia, Anthurium warocqueanum grows as an epiphyte on the trunks of trees. Understanding its natural habitat is key to its care: it's used to dappled light filtering through the canopy, high humidity, frequent rainfall, and having its roots exposed to plenty of air. Replicating these conditions is the path to success. The common name "Queen Anthurium" is a nod to its regal and demanding presence, a fitting title for such a spectacular species.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are the leaves on my new Anthurium warocqueanum turning yellow or crispy?
This is very common. The Queen Anthurium is famously sensitive to changes in environment and shipping stress. Yellowing can indicate overwatering or the plant resorbing energy from an older leaf to acclimate. Crispy edges almost always point to low humidity. Upon arrival, place it in a high-humidity (70%+) location with gentle airflow and bright, indirect light, and be very careful not to overwater as it settles in. Expect a period of adjustment.

Does Anthurium warocqueanum need a greenhouse or cabinet to thrive?
While not strictly mandatory, it is highly recommended. The Queen requires consistent high humidity (ideally 70%+) that is difficult to maintain in a typical European living room, especially with central heating in winter. A greenhouse cabinet, terrarium, or a dedicated room with a humidifier will give you the best chance of success and help it produce those magnificent, long leaves. It is not a suitable plant for average room humidity.

The title says 'XL', but the pot size seems small. Is this a mature plant?
This 'XL' refers to the genetic potential of the plant, not its current size. You are purchasing a healthy, established juvenile Anthurium warocqueanum. These plants are slow growers, and starting with a strong young plant allows you to acclimate it to your specific conditions from an early stage, which is often more successful than introducing a large, mature specimen. It has the potential to grow spectacular, metre-long leaves with proper care over time.

A Comprehensive Pocket Guide to Christian Living
Format: Paperback
Looking for a book on discipleship? Not sure what discipleship is, or how it relates to Christian living? Want to learn more about how God grows us and wants us to grow? May I recommend Mapping Discipleship, a 2025 release from Faith Publications by Charlie Carter, co-host of The Thinklings Podcast (my favorite podcast). I pre-ordered my copy and read it shortly after its (early 👏) arrival. I ended up using it as my devotions, taking extra time to read the suggested passages and think through the reflection questions. Some pros of this book are -its small, short size: the chapters themselves are short, making the book more of a "pocket guide" than an intimidating, extensive treatise. -its catechism style: each chapter's title is a question that the chapter itself answers with Scripture, personal examples, illustrations and analogies, and practical application. Each chapter builds on the next, so start at the beginning. -its organization: the division of chapters into 3 parts (recognition, renewal, and results -- not exact) makes for a logical progression easy to follow and to implement. -its depth: though small, Mapping Discipleship packs a big punch in the way it lays out and digs into foundational truths of Christian living and how we grow. Deep thoughts and rich language. Chew slowly. Mapping Discipleship's only con (for me) is also its pro: its length. A few places I would have loved more fleshed-out discussion and maybe some additional resources. I'd love to share some of the quotes that impacted me, but I already lent my copy out to a friend. 😅 Just get your own copy -- you will be challenged and blessed!

A Genuinely Good Guy & A Genuinely Fun Read
Format: Hardcover
A prison diary with optimism, realism and humor. You can read this book in its daily snippets, but you won't want to put it down as the daily drama unfolds. Each story leads up to the next in a riveting account of gritty survival. Peter is a man I genuinely would like to meet some day. Every once in awhile we get blessed with a public servant who has a heart of gold. Someone who doesn't just look after their own selfish interests, but cares about the affairs of others. Peter proves to be that man. Injected into a jail system with malice as a political prisoner, we find Peter busy helping others. When life gave him lemons, Peter chose to make lemonade for others. He discovered everything that seemed hopelessly mucked up in the prison system. So Peter, the ever-observant statistician, dug deep into the root causes of the massive dysfunction. He then began detangling each individual man's predicament with precision. And love. He genuinely cared about the prisoners and their families, their lives and their future. And when he left, he continued to work to change things for the better. That is honorable and commendable.
