Returns Simplified.Anthurium villenaorum x veitchii is a stunning hybrid that combines the best traits of two iconic Anthurium species the velvety, dark green foliage of A. villenaorum and the elongated, ribbed texture of A. veitchii, known as the King Anthurium. The result is a truly regal plant with large, deeply veined leaves that shimmer with a soft satin sheen.
Native to the tropical rainforests of Central and South America, this hybrid is prized by collectors for its structural elegance and rare aesthetic. Its long, lanceolate leaves arch gracefully, creating a luxurious, architectural presence in any indoor plant display. When mature, the leaves can reach impressive lengths, developing the characteristic corrugated texture of veitchii while maintaining the velvety finish of villenaorum.
Perfect for a statement corner, conservatory, or modern interior, Anthurium villenaorum x veitchii brings a sophisticated tropical atmosphere with a touch of wild, jungle allure.
Thrives in bright, indirect light. A position near an east- or north-facing window is ideal. Avoid harsh midday or afternoon sun, which can burn the tender leaf surface. Too little light can slow growth and reduce leaf size and texture.
Keep the soil evenly moist but never soggy. Water when the top 23 cm feels dry. Anthuriums prefer a balance avoid both drought and waterlogging. Use room-temperature water and ensure excellent drainage to prevent root rot.
Temperature: Prefers 2028C year-round. Keep away from cold draughts and sudden temperature drops.
Humidity: Requires high humidity (7090%) to maintain lush growth and prevent crisping edges. Use a humidifier, pebble tray, or cluster it with other tropicals to raise moisture levels.
Use a loose, airy, peat-free aroid mix equal parts orchid bark, perlite, and coco coir with a handful of compost for nutrients. The roots need excellent aeration, similar to an epiphytes natural environment. Re-pot every 12 years in spring when the roots begin to fill the pot.
Feed every 46 weeks during the growing season (spring through summer) with a diluted, balanced or foliage fertiliser rich in nitrogen and magnesium to enhance leaf texture and colour. Avoid over-fertilising, as this can burn the roots.
Remove any yellowed or damaged leaves at the base using sterilised scissors. Wipe the leaves gently with a damp cloth to remove dust and allow the plant to breathe. Repot only when necessary, as Anthuriums prefer to be slightly root-bound.
This hybrid typically reaches 60100 cm in height with mature leaves stretching up to 4070 cm long. Growth rate depends on humidity and light levels steady care results in bold, elegant leaves with the signature veitchii ridges and villenaorum velvet finish.
Yellowing leaves: Overwatering or poor drainage.
Crispy tips: Low humidity or mineral build-up.
Slow growth: Insufficient light or feeding.
Pests: Watch for spider mites, mealybugs, and thrips in low-humidity conditions.
This cross between Anthurium villenaorum and A. veitchii represents the perfect blend of velvet and structure. The hybrid inherits the lush, deep green tone and texture of villenaorum while incorporating the striking pleated ribbing of veitchii. Its a favourite among rare plant collectors for its balanced proportions, forgiving nature, and undeniable beauty.
