Anthurium warocqueanum

Anthurium warocqueanum, often known as Queen Anthurium, is a Colombian epiphytic Anthurium with long, pendant velvet leaves and pale veins running through the blade. Young plants start with shorter, upright foliage, then gradually develop elongated leaves that give mature plants a vertical hanging form.

The plant grows from a central stem and produces leaves that hang downward as they mature. A raised pot, tall plant stand or stable vertical anchor keeps the blades clear of shelves and neighbouring plants.

Anthurium warocqueanum foliage profile

  • Growth habit: Epiphytic Anthurium with a central stem and long pendant leaves.
  • Leaf form: Narrow, elongated heart-shaped blades that lengthen noticeably with maturity.
  • Texture: Velvet green surface with a soft appearance and marked sensitivity to abrasion.
  • Venation: Pale veins run lengthwise through the blade and become more striking on larger leaves.
  • Placement: Raised placement gives mature foliage room to hang below the pot.

Origin, morphology and growth behaviour

Anthurium warocqueanum is an accepted species in the Araceae family. It is native to Colombia and grows in the wet tropical biome as an epiphyte. Its roots are adapted to a moist but aerated environment around tree surfaces, which is why container culture needs both humidity and excellent oxygen flow through the substrate.

The leaves can become very long under stable, warm, humid conditions, but their quality depends heavily on root health and consistent leaf expansion. A plant with active roots, filtered light and steady humidity usually produces cleaner, longer blades.

Care for Anthurium warocqueanum

  • Light: Give bright filtered light. The plant needs enough light for strong leaf production, while direct midday sun can scorch the soft surface.
  • Watering: Keep the substrate evenly moist, then let the upper layer begin to dry before watering again. The roots need moisture and air at the same time.
  • Substrate: Use a coarse epiphyte-style aroid mix with bark, chunky fibre, pumice or perlite. Fine, compacted mixes increase root-loss risk.
  • Humidity: Aim for 70–85% humidity for the cleanest leaf expansion. Air movement is important in enclosed cabinets or grow tents.
  • Temperature: Keep warm, ideally 21–28 °C. Avoid cold nights and a wet root zone, especially during slower growth.
  • Feeding: Feed lightly during active growth with a complete fertiliser. Large leaves respond better to steady low-level nutrition than irregular strong doses.
  • Support: A moss pole, plank or stable stake can help the stem stay upright while leaves hang downward from the crown.
  • Pot setup: Use a pot with generous drainage and enough weight to balance the pendant foliage. A raised position keeps mature blades clear of shelves and pot edges.
  • Repotting: Repot carefully before the substrate breaks down. Disturbed roots can slow the next leaf, so keep healthy roots intact where possible.
  • Outdoor summer placement: In warm European summer weather, move only acclimated plants to a sheltered, shaded position when nights stay above 18 °C.

Common signals in Queen Anthurium

  • Crisped leaf edges: Check humidity stability, airflow and fertiliser concentration. Long leaves lose quality quickly under dry or salty conditions.
  • Yellowing lower leaves: Inspect the roots and substrate. Older leaves often decline when the lower mix has become stale or waterlogged.
  • Short new leaves: Review light, root mass and temperature. Weak roots usually show through reduced leaf length.
  • Torn or stuck new growth: Keep humidity steady while a leaf is emerging and give the new blade space to unfurl.
  • Stem leaning: Add support early. A mature leaf can pull the crown forward if the stem has no vertical anchor.

Anthurium warocqueanum is easier to manage once light, moisture and stem anchoring stay consistent. Keep conditions steady while a new leaf is expanding, then adjust only after the blade has hardened.

Anthurium warocqueanum safety notes

Anthurium warocqueanum should be kept away from pets and children that may chew plant material. Its tissues contain insoluble calcium oxalate crystals that can irritate the mouth and throat if chewed or swallowed. Keep it away from pets and small children, and handle cut tissue with care.

Anthurium warocqueanum name background

The accepted botanical name is Anthurium warocqueanum T.Moore, in the family Araceae. The genus name Anthurium refers to the tail-like spadix. The species epithet warocqueanum honours the Belgian horticultural patron Arthur Warocqué.

Anthurium warocqueanum matures into long pendant velvet leaves with pale venation and a clear vertical hanging form.

Kids love the newest “Worst” tale-
Format: Hardcover
Kids will love this next book in The Worst series. Awesome, fun, colorful illustrations in this tale with Gilbert the Goblin trying to escape cupids and valentines. Instead of candy for Valentine’s Day give the gift of this book. My students love when Alex Willan has a new book out and are loving this one.

Plenty of fun for Gilbert fans!
Format: Hardcover
As in previous books in the series, Gilbert the Goblin complains about the problems he sees with Valentine's Day, what he calls 'mushy malarkey'. Young readers who don't care for the holiday will find much to relate to in the book. Although, Gilbert's complaints seem a tad trifling. Coconut chocolates are 'Blech'. He seems to have a special issue with the cupid's 'perfect', 'beautiful', and 'luxurious' hair. When Gilbert faces off with a group of cupids, he just barely manages to escape their love arrows, or so he thinks until he backs into a cactus in his own yard and believes he has been pricked by one such love arrow. He then becomes a goblin full of love. He loves his spells, his potions, even himself, but not coconut chocolates. He even welcomes his friends over to celebrate before bidding his pet sock slugs a fond goodnight. Good thing the love spell wears off. This funny book follows the pattern of the previous five books, but the addition of adorable cupids as well as Gilbert's beloved cactuses and pet sock slugs provides plenty of freshness as Gilbert once again (reluctantly) joins in the festivities. Plenty of fun for young fans of the series.

Best way to explore Paris
Format: Paperback
This book is awesome! I enjoyed reading it just as much as my kids did! I love the layout and the way that the book assigns the kids to be secret agents, but defers to the case officers (parents) for the final say. We were in Paris for 1 week and although the weather was less than cooperative, we were able to capture our 100 points and award our 4yo and 7yo their secret agent certificates. I love the fact that you can work on this book in any order and do as little or as much as you want at each attraction. The price was awesome and worth every penny. My 7yo particularly enjoyed the challenges at the Musee D'Orsay and the Louvre and it was a great way to keep those visits focused and entertaining for the kids. My 4yo was a little young to stay engaged with every "mission", but the activities were easy enough that she could help (ex. finding a winter scene in the Musee D'Orsay). I loved that this book engaged the kids but didn't detract from any of our visits (we didn't feel like we had to go "out of our way" to find anything). The only disappointment was that they didn't include Versailles and Sainte Chappelle. I have not only recommended this book to all my of friends traveling to Paris (honestly with or without kids), but I have also already purchased the similar books for London, New York, and Washington DC. Can't wait to see what other cities they add!
