Anthurium Veitchii – King Anthurium in 17cm Clear Pot

The Anthurium Veitchii is a must have for anyone who loves bold, eye catching plants. Its long, velvety leaves with deep ribs create a dramatic, tropical look. This plant comes from the cloud forests of Colombia, where it grows in warm, humid conditions. It’s perfect for adding a splash of jungle style to your home, especially in spots like the living room or bathroom.

We pot this beauty in a 17cm clear nursery pot. This means you can see the roots and easily check soil moisture. No more guessing when to water! It’s planted in our special ROOTS Sexy Soil – Anthurium Mix. This soil is a blend designed to drain well and give your plant the nutrients it needs. The secret ingredient? Worm castings (worm poo) – nature’s own fertiliser that keeps roots strong and healthy.

If you want a striking plant that brings tropical vibes indoors, the Anthurium Veitchii fits the bill perfectly. Check out our other showstoppers for more unique finds to brighten your space.

Specification

Light

Loves bright, indirect light. It’ll tolerate a touch of morning sun, but keep it out of harsh rays, its leaves are too fabulous for sunburn.

Watering

Keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy. Let the top 2-3cm dry out between waterings. In winter, water less frequently to prevent root rot.

Temperature

Thrives in warm spots between 18–26°C. Keep it away from cold draughts, radiators, or frosty windowsills.

Humidity

High humidity (60%+) is key. A humidifier, pebble tray or a bathroom will help those leaves stay crisp and majestic.

Fertiliser

Feed every time you water in spring and summer with a diluted liquid fertiliser, especially one with extra calcium or magnesium if you’re feeling fancy. Skip feeding in winter.

Toxicity

Toxic to pets if chewed. Best kept on a throne, or at least a high shelf, away from curious animals.
