Anthurium regale
Anthurium regale is a Peruvian foliage Anthurium known for large velvety leaves with pale, prominent venation. Mature blades can become very large under warm, humid cultivation, developing a long heart-shaped form with a strong central midrib and branching lateral veins.
The plant grows from a sturdy base and carries its leaves on upright petioles, allowing each blade to hang and display its full length. The surface is deep green and softly matte, while pale veins define the blade from base to tip. In a pot, Anthurium regale is shaped by size, proportion and vein contrast.
Defining traits of Anthurium regale
- Growth habit: Subshrub Anthurium with a strong base and large leaves.
- Leaf size: Mature blades can reach impressive lengths in stable, humid conditions.
- Texture: Velvety, matte green upper surface with a soft visual depth.
- Venation: Pale midrib and lateral veins, with basal veins forming a strong lower leaf pattern.
- Origin: Native to northeastern Peru in wet tropical conditions.
Peruvian origin and mature leaf character
Anthurium regale is native to northeastern Peru and grows primarily in wet tropical conditions. Botanical literature describes very large velvety blades with pale veins, with mature leaves recorded from around 35 cm to about 100 cm long. That scale requires room for leaves to hang freely and enough root stability for long petioles.
The inflorescence follows the typical Anthurium pattern of spathe and spadix, but the species is recognised in cultivation by long velvet blades, pale venation and mature leaf scale. Strong, consistent growth depends on warm roots, open substrate and stable humidity during leaf expansion.
Anthurium regale care requirements
- Light: Provide bright filtered light. Large velvet leaves can mark in harsh direct sun, especially during warm midday exposure.
- Watering: Keep the substrate evenly moist through active growth, then water again once the upper layer has started to dry. Large plants use more water when actively sizing up.
- Substrate: Use a chunky, moisture-retentive Anthurium mix with bark, coco chips, perlite, pumice and a fine organic fraction. The mix should stay airy around thicker roots.
- Pot choice: Choose a stable pot that balances the weight of long petioles and broad leaves. Good drainage remains essential.
- Humidity: Aim for 65–85% relative humidity with gentle airflow. Stable humidity helps long leaves expand with fewer creases and dry edges.
- Temperature: Keep warm, ideally 20–28 °C. Protect from cold draughts and chilled substrate.
- Feeding: Large velvet Anthuriums respond well to steady low-dose nutrition during active growth.
- Repotting: Repot when the plant is root-bound or the substrate has lost its open texture. Keep the crown stable during and after repotting.
- Leaf care: Dust gently with a soft damp cloth. Hold the blade while cleaning so the petiole and midrib are not strained.
- Propagation: Propagate by division only when the plant has multiple clear growth points. Give divisions high humidity and steady warmth while roots recover.
Issues to watch on Anthurium regale
- Crinkled new leaves: Check humidity, watering consistency and airflow. Large velvet leaves need stable conditions while unfurling.
- Brown edges: Review dry air, underwatering, salt buildup and root temperature. Edge stress often reflects a root or humidity imbalance.
- Yellowing with soft petioles: Inspect roots for rot and check whether the mix is staying dense and wet.
- Pale, weak growth: Increase filtered light gradually and check that the plant has enough warmth to use the available light.
- Leaf spotting: Keep leaves dry overnight, increase airflow and isolate the plant if water-soaked lesions spread.
Anthurium regale growing notes
Anthurium regale needs space around the crown as it matures. Crowded shelving can bend new leaves before they harden, and contact with walls or neighbouring plants can damage the velvet surface. A dedicated bright spot with stable humidity gives the plant the best chance to develop its long, clean blades.
Anthurium regale safety notes
Anthurium regale should be kept away from pets and children that may chew plant material. The plant contains insoluble calcium oxalate crystals that can irritate the mouth, tongue, throat, skin and eyes. Place it away from pets and children, and wash hands after pruning, dividing or handling damaged tissue.
Anthurium regale name background
The accepted botanical name is Anthurium regale Linden, in the family Araceae. Anthurium is formed from Greek roots linked to “flower” and “tail”, a reference to the tail-like spadix. The species epithet regale means royal or regal and reflects the long, commanding foliage.
Anthurium regale forms long Peruvian velvet leaves with bold pale venation, upright petioles and mature blades that need clear hanging space.

Forgotten Civilization: An astounding book not easily forgotten
'Forgotten Civilization' is a paradigm-shattering book which won't be easily forgotten. Dr. Robert Schoch possesses a rare talent for writing and public speaking which is backed up by and informed with all the intellectual rigor of a true scientist, but easily comprehensible and accessible to the general public. His passion for the subject of ancient civilizations is inspiring, and his courage and dedication unquestionable.
For those of you interested in the mysteries surrounding ancient civilizations, 'Forgotten Civilization' is one of the best books ever written about the subject. Like most everyone else, I first heard about Dr. Robert Schoch when I saw the television show "The Mysterious Origins of Man," where he presented persuasive evidence of weathering and erosion on the Sphinx, showing that it must have been built during a much earlier time than what most Egyptologists believed.
Back then a lot of Egyptologists laughed and ridiculed the notion that the Sphinx could be any older than a couple of thousand years. Twenty years later, few of them are still laughing.
In 'Forgotten Civilization,' Dr. Robert Schoch turns his attention to the paradigm-busting site of Gobekli Tepe, a sophisticated megalithic complex unearthed in southeast Turkey, which dates back more than 10,000 years ago. Nobody knows who built it, but its age and existence irrefutably points to the presence of a highly sophisticated yet unknown culture who obviously possessed a great deal of technological knowledge and social organization at a time when most archeologists believed the human race was little more than nomadic cave men, capable of nothing more interesting than eking out a primitive, subsistence mode of survival through hunting and foraging. The discovery of Gobleki Tepe has turned the world of ancient civilizations and human history on its head, forcing what will eventually amount to a complete rewriting of human history.
'Forgotten Civilization' is a ground-breaking book which is vastly entertaining to read. Through the course of the book, which unravels like a globe-trotting mystery adventure-thriller, Schoch also reveals credible scientific evidence which shows how a previous high civilization could have been completely destroyed by massive solar outbursts and coronal mass ejections from the Sun, which would have scorched the surface of the planet and touched off natural disasters all over the world, plunging humanity back into a dark age which would take thousands of years to recover from. More chillingly, he shows how the Sun goes through natural cycles of activity over the course of thousands of years--and how history could repeat itself and this same fate could happen again, and destroy much of our modern civilization.
Dr. Robert Schoch's book 'Forgotten Civilization' is for anyone who has ever wondered about the origins of civilization, the questions it raises about both the past and the future will remain with you long after you read the last page.

Perhaps the most interesting book that I have ever read...
Format: Paperback
This book is perhaps the most fascinating piece of non-fiction that I have ever read. Dr. Schoch is a Yale educated professor at Boston University who presents information in a manner that is enjoyable and truly educational. If human history is a subject of interest for you, then you will recognize him immediately, as he has appeared on many television shows on the subject. When I bought his first book, I had the "oh, THAT guy" moment when I read the section about the author. He's the geologist/geophysicist who, back in the mid-1990's, studied the Sphinx enclosure and determined that it was condensation that smoothed the sides- rather than wind. This requires the dating of the construction of the Sphinx to draw back by many thousands of years due to the timeline of such rainfall. As such, he threw the discipline of human anthropology on it's ear. This met with much resistance from from anthropologists but, as he says, "I'm sorry if my findings contradict your theory but..."
This book flows VERY smoothly and, without giving spoilers about his extensive research, provides more of an epiphany than anything that I have ever read before. Even when reading it for the second time, the book is very hard to put down. Schoch is a true educator and has a genuine talent for presenting his findings. As an author, he is clear and concise. He builds a powerful and enthralling case, the explanation of which incorporates the solving of the mysteries of the Rongorongo glyphs on Easter Island, the ancient vitrified stone castles in Scotland and the dating of the Sphinx into a plausible, scientifically supported timeline that is nothing less than completely fascinating.
I have no question that my grandchildren will study human history that conforms to his research and discoveries. The irony is that he will be considered one of the "fathers of modern anthropology" for the next generation, and he's a GEOLOLOGIST! Get this book, you will NOT be disappointed!

I enjoyed this book immensely
Format: Paperback
A pioneering book! It breaks new ground and proposes new ideas that are plausible. I enjoyed this book immensely.
But with every pioneering book comes beliefs that may not always be what they seem. I withheld one star because there are some ideas proposed that I found hard to believe entirely. I like the fact that Dr. Schoch includes Biblical passages but I don't agree with the majority of his interpretations. For example, Ezekiel's writings and visions are not about shapes he saw in the sky that Dr. Schoch thinks are from solar outbursts or auroral displays. Instead, most of those are visions he had of the "Last Days." But he didn't know exactly what he was seeing so he did his best to describe the things he saw.
The other point I would like to make is that not all of the glyphs from thousands of years ago could be describing auroral displays or solar outbursts. I would imagine that if solar flares were racing toward Earth, (1) there wouldn't be enough time to look at them and study their shapes because you would be racing for cover, (2) they would be too bright whereas nobody could actually look at them long enough to study their shapes even if they had modern sunglasses, and (3) there would be a lot more evidence of scorched and burned areas of Earth so that it would be more obvious if solar activity was what had set society back thousands of years. But I don't recall Dr. Schoch theorizing about these things.
Overall the book is great and I think he right about a lot of things. Highly recommended!

WHY YOU SHOULD BUY THIS BOOK
Format: Paperback
Forgotten Civilization by Dr. Robert Schoch
Why should you buy this book?
1) You're already looking at it so you must have some interest in this topic.
2) Dr. Schoch has a great ability to take his, or others, theories and support them with well researched scientific data. This is helpful to those of us who are curious about alternative explanations but are still dependent on the "scientific thinking" paradigm. (He doesn't make statements like "when humans bred with aliens in 20,823 BC...").
3) He always makes you think about conventional wisdom in a new way. For instance, in this book - the age of Easter Island statues (moai). How DID they get buried so deeply when they (conventionally) only go back to a South Pacific Polynesian settlement times??
I have stood in front of the moais on Easter Island and read many books on it's history and it never occurred to me to question the timeline. It takes that unique geologist perspective which Dr Schoch brings to his writings.
4) He introduces you to other researchers or writers that you will want to know more about. Like Thomas Brophy, Anthony Peratt, Paul LaViolette and many others.
5) The Appendices. Some excellent information on multiple topics included at the end of the book.
6) Because Dr. Schoch has gone where many others SHOULD go - against conventional archeological/historical wisdom which makes no sense.
His initial theories on the age of the Sphinx as a young academic were very daring and absolutely correct. The geological community had no problem with his ideas - but Egyptologists did, and they have been after him ever since.
Choosing a controversial research path has meant some changes in his academic career I'm sure, as "Academics," for all it's spouting of tremendous support for new knowledge and research is very much mired in politically correct concrete. (Go to Egypt and look for yourself. Even a casual tourist will see how wrong standard academic theories are currently).
7) I guarantee you will learn new and interesting things that just may change your life - or at the very least, change the way you think about the future.
-C. Engel

A Book About Everything and Nothing
This was a great idea for a book and it's too bad that Mr. Schoch decided not to write it. Some of the ideas about solar events, the way the plasma manifested in the sky as it relates to ancient petroglyphs is fascinating. Mr. Schoch spent very little time in this space however (in spite of the book's title). Instead we got a brief, incomplete overview coupled with a survey of every piece of fringe science out there from the memory of water, to quantum entanglement to telepathy. There was the obligatory chapter on his work with the Sphinx of course. It always comes back to the Sphinx with this guy. Not an original thought in the book, but there was plenty of promotion of fringe science, especially the work of Paul LaViolette whose confusing and widely ignored and self-published work got several chapters.
I gave the book 3 stars for its entertainment value and docked it two for not staying on point. This is still a great and fascinating subject. I wish Mr. Schoch thought so too.
