The Anthurium warocqueanum is one of the most iconic foliage plants in the world, adored for its long, velvety, pendant leaves that can grow over a metre long in ideal conditions. With deep green texture and elegant silver veins, this queen brings unmatched rainforest luxury to any collection.

☀️ Light

• Thrives in bright, indirect light

• Too little light = slow growth + narrow leaves

• Avoid any direct sun — velvet foliage burns easily

💧 Water

• Keep soil lightly moist, not wet

• Water when the top 2–3 cm are dry

• Requires a chunky aroid epiphyte mix (bark + moss + perlite + charcoal)

• Very sensitive to overwatering — excellent drainage is key

🌫️ Humidity

• Needs 70–90% humidity to thrive

• High humidity encourages long, wide leaves and clean growth

• Perfect for greenhouse cabinets, tents, or well-humidified rooms

🌡️ Temperature

• Ideal range: 20–28°C

• Hates cold air and sudden temperature drops

• Never below 17°C

🍽️ Feeding

• Feed every 4 weeks in spring & summer

• Use a gentle, diluted aroid fertilizer

• Supplement with calcium/magnesium occasionally for leaf strength

🌱 Growth Tips

• Naturally grows pendant, so give it vertical space

• Mounting on a board or using a tall airy pot mimics natural growth

• Keep airflow gentle but consistent to prevent leaf spotting

• Wipe leaves carefully — they’re delicate but benefit from cleaning

• Not pet-safe
