Anthurium Warocqueanum 'Queen'
Anthurium warocqueanum
The Queen Anthurium — the Colombian cloud forest endemic widely regarded as the benchmark of the velvet pendant anthurium group. It produces immense, dark, near-black velvety pendant leaves with brilliant crystalline white venation, capable of exceeding several feet in length on well-grown climbing specimens. Leaf size and quality increase dramatically with vertical climbing support and overall maturity. An elevated position is essential to allow the pendant leaves to hang freely to their full length.
-
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 non-negotiable — edge browning is the first symptom of insufficient humidity.
-
Watering: Keep consistently but lightly moist — never waterlogged, never fully dry. Consistency matters more than any specific schedule; fluctuations stress this species significantly.
-
Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength every 4-6 weeks during active growth; supplement with calcium and magnesium. Sensitive to fertilizer salt buildup. Reduce in winter.

Customers praised this beautiful, healthy anthurium for arriving in "perfect condition" with "excellent packaging." Most noted fast shipping and quality. A few mentioned size expectations not met, cold damage to leaves, or spore dots. One customer said "looking forward to watching it grow into a massive, strappy beast."

Perfect plant that made my wife’s week. This was a wish list plant for her and it’s amazing. Packaged extremely well, healthy, and has a new leaf coming in. Plus, who doesn’t love a free, bonus plant.
One of my wish list plants! Seller included a hanger too! 🪴♥️🪴
Fast delivery great packaging beautiful condition
The plant arrived in decent shape. Though the box was pretty crushed and there was very little protection on the plant. How it wasn’t more damaged is a miracle. I’ve ordered from Plantmani many times and their packaging is normally great but this was a little disappointing. I would still order again but would ask that each plant is packed with the same level of care.
So beautiful. I recommend from this buyer
Packing outstanding, lost 2 of 3 leaves, health of remaining leaf good.
Plant looks healthy but arrived with black spore like dots underneath. I reached out for advise but was told i had only send one picture when i had sent multiple of different leaves showing what i was talking about. I was told it was someyhing related to high humidity so i fleanee it off. It seems fine so far.
I'm so happy with my plant.
Plant looks amazing and arrived in great condition. One of my favorite sellers for plants. Highly recommend.
