Plant Set: Queen & King Anthurium – The Royal Pair of Aroid Collecting

The Queen & King Anthurium Set unites two of the most iconic species in the genus — Anthurium warocqueanum and Anthurium veitchii. Revered as the Queen and King of Anthuriums, this legendary duo embodies everything collectors love about the genus: dramatic foliage, refined texture, and commanding form. Both plants come in ⌀ 12 cm pots — ideal for growers who want to raise their royal pair from a decorative, manageable size.

● What’s Included in the Queen & King Anthurium Set

Anthurium warocqueanum (Queen Anthurium): The true queen of velvety foliage. Its elongated, dark-green leaves shimmer with silvery veins and can reach impressive lengths with age.
Anthurium veitchii (King Anthurium): Recognised for its deeply ribbed, leathery leaves and upright, architectural growth. The corrugated surface contrasts perfectly with the Queen’s soft sheen.

● Why This Set Stands Out

Together, the Queen and King represent texture in contrast — velvet versus structure. Displayed side by side, they form a living statement of tropical elegance and strength — a centrepiece every serious Anthurium collector aspires to own.

● Care Tips for the Queen & King Anthurium

Light: Bright, indirect light. Avoid harsh direct sun that can scorch leaves.
Watering: Water when the top few centimetres of substrate start to dry. Ensure excellent drainage.
Humidity: Maintain 60–80 % for optimal growth and healthy foliage texture.
Fertiliser: Feed monthly during active growth with a balanced liquid fertiliser at half strength.
Temperature: Ideal range 18–28 °C. Keep warm and protect from cold drafts.

● Additional Notes

Both species thrive in airy aroid mixes containing bark, perlite, and coco chips. They prefer steady moisture without waterlogging and appreciate stable humidity. With patience, their leaves will become progressively larger and more sculptural over time. For detailed species guidance, see their individual listings on Foliage Factory.

● Frequently Asked Questions

Can they adapt to normal indoor conditions? Yes — provided humidity stays above 60 % and light remains bright but filtered.
Are they toxic to pets? Yes — like all Anthuriums, they contain calcium oxalate crystals and should be kept away from pets and children.
Do they climb or stay compact? Both form elongated stems with time yet remain relatively compact in smaller pots or when pruned.
