Anthurium ‘King of Spades’ (Anthurium ‘HU’)


Anthurium ‘King of Spades’, also known as Anthurium ‘HU’, is a dark velvet foliage Anthurium with broad leaves, a deep sinus and fine pale veining. Mature blades have a heavy, smooth outline and can appear dark green to almost black in suitable filtered light.

Large leaves rise on upright petioles from a compact base. As the blades increase in size, light support can steady the foliage and keep the petioles from pulling too far outward.



Leaf details on Anthurium ‘King of Spades’


  • Blade shape: Broad heart- to spade-shaped leaves with a deep sinus at the base.
  • Surface: Dark velvet texture that shows pale marks if handled roughly or kept wet.
  • Venation: Fine, subtle silver veins across the dark blade.
  • Margins: Smooth leaf edges give the mature blade a clean, wide outline.
  • Growth habit: Upright to semi-self-heading growth from a compact base.
  • Support option: Larger leaves may sit better with a discreet stake or low support.


Velvet leaves and support


As the weighty velvet leaves size up, the petioles can lean outward. A stable pot and low support keep the base secure while the leaves develop in their semi-upright shape.

Velvet leaves mark less easily when the plant grows in stable conditions. Warmth, humidity and an open substrate help new leaves unfold without tearing or sticking, while good airflow reduces the risk of marks on the leaf surface.



Care for Anthurium ‘King of Spades’


  • Light: Give bright filtered light. Direct sun can scorch velvet leaves, especially where glass intensifies heat.
  • Water: Let the upper part of the mix dry before watering again, then drain the pot fully.
  • Humidity: Higher humidity helps emerging leaves release cleanly from the cataphyll.
  • Air movement: Gentle airflow matters in humid conditions, especially around large velvet blades.
  • Temperature: Keep the plant warm and stable, away from cold windows and sudden night drops.
  • Substrate: Use bark, coco chips, coarse perlite, pumice or similar large particles around the roots.
  • Support: Add a small stake when leaf weight pulls the petioles outward.


Problems to watch for


  • Stuck or torn new leaves: Usually linked to dry air, low humidity swings or interrupted growth while the leaf is expanding.
  • Yellowing leaves: Check the roots if the pot has stayed wet or the mix has become compacted.
  • Brown tips: Can appear after dry spells, mineral buildup or very dry indoor air.
  • Leaning petioles: Larger leaves may need gentle support while the crown stays at normal planting depth.
  • Pest damage: Fine pale speckling, dull patches or distorted new leaves can point to mites or thrips.


Safety for Anthurium ‘King of Spades’


Keep Anthurium ‘King of Spades’ away from pets and children. The plant contains insoluble calcium oxalates, which can irritate the mouth, throat and stomach if chewed or swallowed.



Name etymology and background


Anthurium comes from Greek words meaning flower and tail, referring to the tail-like spadix of the inflorescence. ‘King of Spades’ and ‘HU’ are cultivated names for this dark velvet Anthurium bred by Haji Uli, with broad spade-shaped leaves, subtle pale veins and a semi-upright habit.

excellent pillows i bought two sets!!
Size: Firm Queen (2 Count), Color: Original White (Cooling)
I ordered these for my son who has neck issues and has gone through so many pillows trying to find one that he liked. They’re heavy, so i was worried that they might be “too” heavy to be able to sleep on comfortably, so I ordered a second set, one firmer than the other (just in case) and gave him a set for Xmas and he loved the first set so much without even trying the less firm ones.He also needs the cooling factor and these offered that, too. They are filled with pieces of memory foam (tons of it) and each pillow can be modified by removing some of the foam. The covers are beautiful, high quality fabric with a zipper so ts easy to remove or replace the foam pieces. The size is perfect and they keep their shape. I kept the second set i ordered rather than returning them and i love the pillows. I actually modified two by removing some of the foam pieces. I kept the foam pieces in a zippered pillow protector and i can always adjust mine when or if i need to. 1000% love these.

The Perfect Firm Pillow l
Size: Queen (1 Count), Color: Original White (Cooling)
It is everything it claims to be, cool, comfortable and strong. I got this for my husband first, he loves it and then got one for my son, he uses it to support his knees and has been sleeping much better since then. They both needed a firm pillow that is not super soft, firm but not achy. Finally found the perfect one.

Starts off very cool
I got this pillowcase for my husband because he is always hot at night and has trouble falling asleep because of it. The fabric of this pillowcase feels very similar to a cooling pillowcase that I have had for years and love (but is discontinued, so I can't get any more of them). It is a silky smooth, not-quite-satin fabric that feels initially very cool to the touch. It fits on a standard size pillowcase, and has a slight pocket end (not very much overlap, so it does come untucked during the night). My husband reports that this pillowcase is very cooling right when he goes to bed, but after a short while, it warms up and isn't really cool anymore. So if he doesn't fall asleep right away (and he usually doesn't), he has to flip it over. His head puts out a lot of heat at night though, so the pillowcase might stay cooler longer for others.

Doesn’t stay on the pillow.
Color: Gray, Size: Queen (2 Count)
The concept is there, but the pillow case doesn’t stay on. Every night the pillow case slides either half way or completely off the pillow. If it stayed on I would love it
