Anthurium watermaliense

Anthurium watermaliense is the accepted species behind the common names Black Anthurium and Black Prince, both used for its dark violet-purple spathe. The foliage itself is glossy green, deeply lobed and held from a short, thick-rooted crown.

The plant can grow terrestrially or occasionally epiphytically in wet tropical habitats. In cultivation, it needs steady moisture, warm conditions and an open substrate that keeps oxygen around the roots.

Recognising Anthurium watermaliense

  • Foliage: Deeply lobed, cordate leaves with a glossy to semi-glossy upper surface.
  • Inflorescence: Dark violet-purple spathe, often the reason for the Black Anthurium nickname.
  • Growth habit: Short-stemmed Anthurium with thick roots and a self-standing crown.
  • Cataphylls: Protective leaf sheaths can wear into fibres around the stem.
  • Origin: Native from Costa Rica to Colombia in wet tropical habitats.
  • Root structure: Dense roots need moisture and air rather than compact, saturated substrate.

Leaves, roots and spathe of Anthurium watermaliense

Anthurium watermaliense has lobed, glossy leaves with a paler underside and a compact stem that stays close to the pot. Mature plants can produce a dark spathe that may appear almost black in certain light, although botanically it is better described as deep violet-purple.

The thick roots need moisture and oxygen at the same time. A bark-rich aroid mix keeps the root zone open, while regular but measured watering prevents the crown from sitting in stale, saturated substrate.

Indoor care for Anthurium watermaliense

  • Light: Bright filtered light keeps the leaves firm and reduces scorch risk on glossy surfaces.
  • Watering: Keep the mix lightly moist, then let excess water drain fully after each watering.
  • Substrate: Use an airy organic aroid mix with bark, coarse fibre and mineral structure.
  • Humidity: Moderate to high humidity keeps new leaves and inflorescences from drying at the edges.
  • Temperature: Warm, stable conditions are important; cold wet roots can decline quickly.
  • Potting: Keep the crown slightly above the substrate surface so the short stem stays dry and ventilated.
  • Feeding: Feed lightly during active growth and flush the pot occasionally to reduce salt marks on leaf edges.

Leaf, root and spathe issues on Anthurium watermaliense

  • Soft yellowing leaves: Check drainage and root condition, especially if the substrate feels dense or sour.
  • Brown edges: Low humidity, inconsistent watering or fertiliser salts can mark the leaf margins.
  • Damaged spathe: Dry air, handling or transport can crease or dry the dark spathe.
  • Pest marks: Inspect new growth, petioles and leaf undersides for thrips, mites and mealybugs.

Plant safety with Anthurium watermaliense

Keep Anthurium watermaliense away from pets and small children. Like other Anthurium species, it contains calcium oxalate crystals that can irritate the mouth, throat, skin and eyes.

Botanical notes on Anthurium watermaliense

Anthurium watermaliense was described by L.H.Bailey and Nash and published in 1914. It is an accepted Araceae species native from Costa Rica to Colombia. The genus name Anthurium refers to the tail-like spadix of the inflorescence.

Fluffy and Nice Omegaverse
Format: Kindle
… this would have made 5 stars but for 2 reasons. A.) there were quite a few typos; misspelled words, missing quotations, “the his” mistakes, and various signs that maybe a proofread would do good. B.) the writing was quite textbook. Late blooming omega is struggling with her new self, finds a absurdly wealthy pack of alphas, every thing is almost insta-love but she resists, then decides to love herself and let everyone be happy. Rian was my favourite (obviously the author’s favourite too because he got the most page time) but I wish we could see more of his CEO side? He went to work maybe ONCE the entire time. Gray was supposed to be the “growly one” but he turned out to be puppy dog. Lucas was a genius brainiac doctor - but also super alpha with an aggressive hindbrain with a breeding k*nk?? And then there was no actual “breeding”?? Spice 3/5 - normally omegaverse books are super high on messy smut but this was tamer. Romance 3/5 - insta-love that was then resisted because of personal hangup’s Plot 2/5 - weird paced head hopping, showing the same scene from different POV’s that made me feel like it was 2 steps backward, 1 step forward. Humour 4/5 - there were a dozen lines that genuinely made me chuckle out loud Would have been five stars but the lack of proofreading and the predictable plot made me unable to get up to ADORED IT level - four stars is still and official ENJOYED IT, y’all. This isn’t a bad rating. The “Club Heat” has intriguing possibilities so I’m going to give the second one a shot.

Baby bumps and bodyguards
Format: Kindle
Dark, emotional, and unexpectedly tender, Not Ready is an omegaverse romance that delivers found family feels, fierce protectiveness, and a very pregnant heroine who refuses to break. Vale’s on the run from a stalker, but lands in the arms of three private security alphas, cue the swoony tension, fake marriage twist, and slow-burn heat. It’s a little gritty, a little soft, and a whole lot addictive. If you love protective alphas, high stakes, and heroines with quiet strength, this one’s a must-read.

Strong Omegaverse Comfort and a Attention Grabbing Plot
Format: Kindle
Jillian West never misses when it comes to Omegaverse, and Not Ready is no exception. This story was the perfect blend of cozy comfort and emotional depth while still delivering a strong plot. Vale is such a powerful heroine, she is strong, capable, and determined but I love that she still allows her pack to love and take care of her. It’s that balance of independence and vulnerability that makes her so relatable. The relationship dynamics were amazing: Bishop is steadfast and completely head over heels, Mercy is skeptical but protective in his own way, and Holt is the hesitant one whose slow fall is so satisfying to watch unfold. The romance hits that sweet spot between insta-love and cautious build, keeping me hooked the entire way through. And that ending. Oh my god, the cliffhanger! I need the next book in this duet immediately.
