The Velvet Queen of Aroids

Meet the legendary Anthurium Warocqueanum, the undisputed Queen of the collector world. Renowned for its dramatic, dark green, velvety leaves that can grow to astonishing lengths, this plant is a breathtaking centrepiece. The foliage feels like crushed velvet, with crystalline silver veins that shimmer in the light. This is not a beginner's houseplant; it's a rewarding project for the dedicated aroid enthusiast who is ready for a challenge. The Queen demands specific conditions, particularly high humidity, making it a perfect candidate for a greenhouse cabinet or a carefully controlled indoor environment. Grown right here in the EU with love, this young plant is your chance to raise royalty.

Why You'll Love It

  • Unmatched Foliage: Experience the iconic, elongated leaves with a deep velvet texture and striking silver venation that defines a high-end collection.
  • A Rewarding Challenge: Successfully growing a Warocqueanum is a true badge of honour for any plant collector, offering immense satisfaction as it unfurls each new, majestic leaf.
  • Statement Piece: Even as a juvenile plant, its unique texture and form command attention and signal a sophisticated taste in botanicals.
  • Collector's Classic: Owning a Queen Anthurium is a rite of passage for many serious aroid collectors; it's a living work of art with enduring appeal.

Care Essentials

Light: Provide very bright, indirect light. An east-facing window or a spot a metre or two back from a south or west-facing window is ideal. It must be protected from direct sun, which will scorch the delicate leaves. Insufficient light will result in slow growth and smaller leaves.

Water: This is critical. Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of the substrate feels dry to the touch. It must never sit in water, as its fine roots are highly susceptible to rot. When in doubt, it's better to wait another day. During winter, reduce watering frequency as growth slows.

Soil/Substrate: A super chunky, airy, well-draining aroid mix is non-negotiable. Our aroid substrate mix is perfect, or you can create your own using a blend of orchid bark, perlite, coco chunks, and charcoal to ensure maximum oxygen at the roots.

Humidity & Airflow: The Queen demands high humidity, consistently above 70%. This is best achieved in a greenhouse cabinet, a terrarium, or with a powerful humidifier running nearby. It also appreciates gentle airflow to prevent fungal issues, so avoid completely stagnant air.

Pet Safety

Important: Like other members of the Araceae family, Anthurium Warocqueanum is toxic to cats, dogs, and humans if ingested. The plant contains calcium oxalate crystals which can cause irritation and swelling. Please place it safely out of reach of curious pets and children.

Common Issues

  • Crispy Leaf Edges/Tips: The most common issue, almost always caused by insufficient humidity.
  • Yellowing Leaves: Can be a sign of overwatering (check the roots for rot), or simply the plant shedding an older leaf to focus energy on new growth, which is common during acclimation.
  • Brown Spots on Leaves: Could be a bacterial/fungal issue from water sitting on the leaves in a low-airflow environment, or sometimes from sunburn.
  • Stunted Growth: Usually a result of inadequate light, low humidity, or being kept in a substrate that is too dense and wet.

Botanical Background

Native to the warm, wet, tropical rainforests of Colombia, Anthurium warocqueanum grows as an epiphyte on the trunks of trees. Understanding its natural habitat is key to its care: it's used to dappled light filtering through the canopy, high humidity, frequent rainfall, and having its roots exposed to plenty of air. Replicating these conditions is the path to success. The common name "Queen Anthurium" is a nod to its regal and demanding presence, a fitting title for such a spectacular species.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are the leaves on my new Anthurium warocqueanum turning yellow or crispy?
This is very common. The Queen Anthurium is famously sensitive to changes in environment and shipping stress. Yellowing can indicate overwatering or the plant resorbing energy from an older leaf to acclimate. Crispy edges almost always point to low humidity. Upon arrival, place it in a high-humidity (70%+) location with gentle airflow and bright, indirect light, and be very careful not to overwater as it settles in. Expect a period of adjustment.

Does Anthurium warocqueanum need a greenhouse or cabinet to thrive?
While not strictly mandatory, it is highly recommended. The Queen requires consistent high humidity (ideally 70%+) that is difficult to maintain in a typical European living room, especially with central heating in winter. A greenhouse cabinet, terrarium, or a dedicated room with a humidifier will give you the best chance of success and help it produce those magnificent, long leaves. It is not a suitable plant for average room humidity.

The title says 'XL', but the pot size seems small. Is this a mature plant?
This 'XL' refers to the genetic potential of the plant, not its current size. You are purchasing a healthy, established juvenile Anthurium warocqueanum. These plants are slow growers, and starting with a strong young plant allows you to acclimate it to your specific conditions from an early stage, which is often more successful than introducing a large, mature specimen. It has the potential to grow spectacular, metre-long leaves with proper care over time.

Repurchased in King Size – Still Love These Cooling Pillows
Size: King (2 Count), Color: Original White (Cooling), Size: King (2 Count), Color: Original White (Cooling)
After using the queen-size version of these pillows for over a year, we purchased the king-size set when we upgraded to a king mattress. Both my husband and I really like them. The cooling feature works well, and we like that each side feels different—when I run cold, I use the softer bamboo side, while my husband prefers the cooler side since he tends to sleep hot. They fit well in our king-size pillowcases and feel supportive in all sleeping positions, whether I’m on my stomach, side, or back. I also appreciate that you can remove some of the filling to adjust the firmness. The covers are washable, which makes them easy to maintain. Overall, we’re very happy with this repurchase and the long-lasting comfort.

Not great at cooling
Size: Queen (2 Count), Color: Original White (Cooling)
Each pillow cover has 2 sides, one marked for cooling, and the other a different fabric. The cooling side is about the same effectiveness as having a silk or satin pillow cover. It's only cool when you first touch it. The cooling side doesn't seem to absorb or wick moisture, so if you are sweaty - it keeps the moisture in place. You'll definitely want a regular pillow case over the pillow cover. In fact, if you suffer from night sweats, the non-cooling side is actually more comfortable. The pillow fill is ample, and simple to squish around for more support for your neck, etc. Think bean bag. But it will retain your impression after use. I find I need to do as I did when I had down pillows - give it a few good shakes in the morning when I make the bed to get it evened out for the coming night. In all, it is a well-made and comfortable pillow to sleep on, but it does not excel in cooling.

excellent pillows i bought two sets!!
Size: Firm Queen (2 Count), Color: Original White (Cooling)
I ordered these for my son who has neck issues and has gone through so many pillows trying to find one that he liked. They’re heavy, so i was worried that they might be “too” heavy to be able to sleep on comfortably, so I ordered a second set, one firmer than the other (just in case) and gave him a set for Xmas and he loved the first set so much without even trying the less firm ones.He also needs the cooling factor and these offered that, too. They are filled with pieces of memory foam (tons of it) and each pillow can be modified by removing some of the foam. The covers are beautiful, high quality fabric with a zipper so ts easy to remove or replace the foam pieces. The size is perfect and they keep their shape. I kept the second set i ordered rather than returning them and i love the pillows. I actually modified two by removing some of the foam pieces. I kept the foam pieces in a zippered pillow protector and i can always adjust mine when or if i need to. 1000% love these.

The Perfect Firm Pillow l
Size: Queen (1 Count), Color: Original White (Cooling)
It is everything it claims to be, cool, comfortable and strong. I got this for my husband first, he loves it and then got one for my son, he uses it to support his knees and has been sleeping much better since then. They both needed a firm pillow that is not super soft, firm but not achy. Finally found the perfect one.

It works! Quality pillow.
Size: Standard (1 Count), Color: Original White (Cooling)
This does actually provide a cooling effect, and it's very comfortable! The accompanying literature is helpful too. I believe this to be a quality pillow for the price.
