Anthurium Warocqueanum × Waterburyanum
A cross between two of the most closely related and complementary pendant velvet anthuriums in cultivation. Anthurium warocqueanum, the Queen Anthurium, brings its immense, dark, near-black velvety pendant leaves and crystalline white venation. Anthurium waterburyanum, its close Colombian and Ecuadorian relative offers its distinct leaf constitution and proportions that make it a recognized separately collected species. The cross produces large, elongated, deeply velvety pendant leaves with bold white venation inheriting from both parents simultaneously — the pendant habit, dark surface, and white vein contrast that define the velvet pendant anthurium ideal, expressed with the additional vigor typical of a first-generation hybrid between two closely allied species.
-
Light: Bright but genuinely soft indirect light — the dark velvet surface is sensitive to bleaching under harsh exposure. Deepest coloration develops under consistent gentle indirect light.
-
Soil: Very open, chunky epiphytic mix of orchid bark, perlite, and coco coir with excellent drainage and aeration; waterlogging is the primary cultivation failure.
-
Temperature/Humidity: Cool to warm temperatures between 60-78°F with meaningful day-to-night differential; high humidity of 70-80%+ is essential — inherited from both montane cloud forest parents.
-
Watering: Keep consistently but lightly moist — never waterlogged, never fully dry. Consistency matters more than any specific schedule; fluctuations stress this cross more than stable slightly suboptimal conditions.
-
Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during active growth; supplement with calcium and magnesium at half strength. Reduce in winter.

Customers consistently praised this hybrid Anthurium for arriving in "perfect condition" with excellent packaging. While most were thrilled with healthy plants and fast delivery, one shopper noted the plant was "smaller/less mature than expected." One customer received initial leaf damage but appreciated world-class customer service and replacement.
I need to apologize for leaving a one star previously. When I ordered my plant, I just had breast surgery and I really paid no attention to date. I ordered it so when they sent for me to leave a review, I just figured my plant was leaked because in the middle of having breast surgery, I came down with bronchitis those two things do not get along having stitches and coughing your head off Anyway I received my plant on time. It was wrapped perfectly. Thank God because UPS destroyed the box that’s fragile written over live plant written everywhere and they still just smash the box. Thank God y’all had my little plant wrapped up so snug. The plant arrived in perfect condition I believe one leaf was starting to get a fungus which I’m sure it’s from all this heat we are dealing with. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND PLANTAMANI BEAUTIFUL PLANT
order came super quick, was in great condition. Will be ordering again:)
Plant arrived healthy and was packed well. But the plant was way smaller/less mature than example posted for the adult.
Purchased on 2/3 and received on 2/18. It definitely took longer to arrive than expected. When it arrived it seemed to be packed and shipped really well. Upon unpacking it I noticed some leaf damage that was likely from shipping. This was one of the more expensive plants I’ve purchase and was really excited to receive it. I’m a little disappointed with how it arrived but I don’t think it’s the seller’s fault, my assumption is that the damage occurred in shipping. I’m sure this will have no long term effect on the plant’s health.
Amazing plant. Came in perfect condition. Leaves were beautiful. Obsessed!
Shipped in great condition, thanks
Plant was in perfect condition
The first plant I received came in damaged. After showing the pictures, PLANTAMANI replaced the plant with no problems. World-class customer service. Thank you.
No complaints! Plants came in perfect condition.
Fast delivery and well packaged, plant was nice size
Packed well. Received a healthy plant
I was worried about this one because the leaves were looking bleached, but it has since recovered and given me a new leaf which is still hardening off.
I’ve placed a few orders from Plantamani now and every single one has been perfect! The plants are extremely healthy and exactly as described, and have been shipped quickly and with care. I’d recommend this shop over and over again :)
Was exact. Shipped quick. No pests.
Extremely happy with my purchase!! I recieved great customer service and most importantly, during the winter months, my plants arrive in perfect condition! 10/10 recommend!!
USPS was delayed and was shipped over the weekend but the plants arrived healthy with the heat pack still warm. Thank you for the superb packaging
The shipment was delayed and that is no one fault
