The Anthurium Warocqueanum ‘Green Sapphire’ is a rare cultivar of the Queen Anthurium, distinguished by its elongated, velvety foliage in deep emerald tones with shimmering lighter veins. Native to Colombia’s cloud forests, this plant grows epiphytically, attaching itself to trees in humid environments. Its dramatic strap-like leaves can reach several feet in length, making it a centerpiece specimen for collectors. The ‘Green Sapphire’ form is valued for its unique coloration and refined texture, setting it apart from standard Warocqueanum varieties. Due to its rarity and demanding care requirements, it is considered a high-end collector’s plant.
