Returns Simplified.Anthurium Big Bill is a spectacular hybrid variety renowned for its impressive size, glossy foliage, and commanding presence. A member of the Araceae family, this tropical aroid combines the grandeur of large-leaf Anthuriums with the resilience of hybrid breeding making it both majestic and easy to grow.
Its immense, paddle-shaped leaves are a rich, deep green with a pronounced gloss, supported by thick, upright petioles that radiate strength and symmetry. Mature specimens can develop leaves exceeding 1 metre in length under ideal conditions, creating a dramatic tropical statement. The prominent venation adds structure to each leaf, while the leathery texture ensures long-lasting durability.
With its bold proportions and sculptural silhouette, Anthurium Big Bill serves as a living centrepiece perfect for collectors or anyone seeking a high-impact tropical focal point.
Prefers bright, indirect light or light dappled shade. Too much direct sunlight can scorch the glossy leaves, while low light will slow growth and reduce leaf size. Ideal conditions mimic the filtered light of a tropical understory.
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water thoroughly when the top 23 cm feels dry, ensuring excess water drains away. During cooler months, allow the soil to dry slightly more between waterings. Use rainwater or filtered water if possible, as Anthuriums can be sensitive to salts and minerals in tap water.
Temperature: Thrives between 2030C; avoid exposure below 16C.
Humidity: Requires high humidity (7090%) to maintain lush, glossy leaves. Use a humidifier, mist regularly, or grow near other tropical plants to create a humid microclimate.
Use a coarse, well-draining aroid mix such as equal parts orchid bark, perlite, sphagnum moss, and coco coir. This provides airflow while retaining the right amount of moisture. Repot every 12 years in spring as the roots fill the container, upgrading to a slightly larger pot each time.
Feed every 46 weeks during spring and summer with a diluted, balanced liquid fertiliser. A feed formulated for aroids or foliage plants works well. Avoid over-fertilising, as excessive nutrients can burn roots or dull the leaves sheen.
Remove any damaged or yellowing leaves at the base to maintain a clean, tidy appearance. Wipe the leaves with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and enhance their natural gloss. Rotate the pot occasionally to ensure balanced growth.
A vigorous grower when kept warm and humid, typically reaching 11.5 metres in height and spread indoors. Mature plants produce large, elongated leaves with a distinctly leathery texture. With ideal care, Anthurium Big Bill can live for many years and continue to increase in size and grandeur.
Yellowing leaves: Overwatering or cold temperatures.
Brown edges: Low humidity or inconsistent watering.
Slow growth: Insufficient light or nutrients.
Pests: Occasionally thrips, aphids, or spider mites; treat promptly with neem oil or insecticidal soap.
Anthurium Big Bill is thought to originate from hybridisation between large-leaf Anthurium species such as Anthurium veitchii, A. warocqueanum, and A. luxurians. The hybrids name reflects its bold character Big Bill a tribute to its oversized foliage and resilient growth.
Its hybrid nature gives it greater adaptability than many pure species, tolerating a wider range of indoor conditions while maintaining its impressive leaf size and sheen. Like all Anthuriums, it also helps purify the air, filtering toxins and improving humidity levels indoors.
