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.

More Tapas Please!
Format: Flexibound, Format: Flexibound
If you are bringing kids along to a new city like Barcelona, the Lonely Planet Kids book provides a great introduction for the children. It has very little of the adult stuff about hotels and restaurants and nothing on how much they cost. It is all about sites and experiences. This lonely Planet book is divided into sixteen trails. There are marked starting points for each one on a map of the city, but no directions about getting from one attraction to the next along the trail. That must be the job of the adults. The groupings include history, castles, shopping, sports, parks, outdoor recreations, and food. I think that there should be more on food. There are over eighty pages in the book. Each page is rendered in bright color drawings and photographs. The images and the explanations each take up about the same amount of room, although I think that the images have the advantage. This is a great book for the kids and for adults who want to get the essence of the city without getting bogged down in details.

Really fun and great for homeschooling or travel prep
Format: Flexibound
If you plan on traveling to Barcelona and want to get the kids excited and pumped for the visit, this would be a perfect book to read. There are so many different interesting aspects covered, from Barcelona's fashion week, to interesting wildlife found at the local parks, to statues and local history, that it really makes things rich and interesting. What I love best is the design and layout. There are photographs mixed with drawings mixed with text in different sidebars and bubbles. It's just really fun to read and fun to browse. The one thing that I don't like is that some books like this have a type of stinky ink that gives me an immediate headache. Unfortunately, this book has that stinky ink., and even letting it air out with some of the pages splayed open, has not dissipated the smell.

Inviting layout for kids and very informative!
Format: Flexibound
My 9 year old son loves this book! He is a huge fan of the Lonely Planet books. We have their books on Countries and Cities which he loves and is always pulling off the shelf to read but he loves these new City Trails books even more. If you are familiar with their other kid books this series is very similar. The information is presented in bite size chunks that are about a paragraph long. His favorite part was the the thematic trails which provide the information on a few pages under a different theme throughout the city. He loves the the real pictures of the city and the fun graphics, like cartoon people and information put in a phone. My son loves trivia and fun facts so this book is perfect for him. He loved telling me lots of things I had never heard of before. This was an informational book for him that gave him a lot of great information about the country and culture and would be an excellent choice to prepare for a trip. I remain very impressed with how engaging Lonely Planet makes information inviting to kids. I will definitely be buying him more books in this series.

Easy and exciting
Format: Paperback
3.5⭐️ I didn't know that this book was the third part of the Campus Police series. But it reads well as a stand-alone book. The first two books are about the other two couples who also appear here. This time, the story revolves around Cappy, who is back after a few weeks away and her grandfather's funeral, and Jazz, a librarian with a special flair for decorating her office. In this short time, a lot has changed in Cappy's personal life, and she has to get used to it all again. Brian, a talented football player who was forced to completely change his life after a traffic accident, is found dead. Initially, it is classified as suicide, but Jazz insists on a more thorough investigation of the case, as she is convinced that Brian was looking forward to the future despite adverse circumstances. Cappy is assigned to determine whether it was a crime. The interviews Cappy conducted to uncover all the circumstances and background information were interesting. However, I found it a little strange that a civilian was allowed to attend these interviews. Jazz and Cappy have mutual friends who are all professionally involved with the campus. The banter between them is amusing, and the romance between Cappy and Jazz is nice and sweet. An easy-to-read book with amusing and likable characters, good and witty dialogue, and some suspense.

Very enjoyable read.
Format: Kindle
I believe this is the third installment of the ‘ University Police Series’ and the best part of a series like this is the reader gets to meet up with the cast of characters from Ms Walsh’s first two books. The first book introduced us to a group of professors, four to be exact and in each book we get to read about romance and crime.. The University Campus Police are the ones these professor’s turn to when there is unfortunately a murder on campus. This time it’s Professor Jazz Harald that seeks the help of the police when one of the students she knows has decided to end his own life. Jazz doesn’t believe the police reports so she reaches out to the campus police, Officer Cappy Flannery. Cappy has read the report herself, even visited the apartment where the young student lived. She agrees with the report but she also reluctantly agrees with Jazz the case should be investigated. If you have read the first two books then you’re in for a treat, if you hadn’t read the first two books you might find yourself lost because Walsh brings in everyone or so it seems from the two stories. It might be a good idea to read the first two. Very enjoyable read. ARC via NetGalley/ Bold Stroke Books
