Anthurium veitchii, often called the "King Anthurium," is known for its large, corrugated leaves that can stretch over a meter in length!

Discovered in the humid rainforests of Colombia and Ecuador, Anthurium veitchii is named after John Veitch, a prominent 19th-century British botanist, and quickly became a favorite among plant collectors worldwide. Its magnificent appearance and relatively easy care have made it a popular houseplant in both homes and botanical gardens worldwide.

In good conditions, A. veitchii grows surprisingly quickly. Young plants that are around one year old can become fully grown specimens in just 2–3 years!

Botanical description

Anthurium veitchii is native to Colombia (Choco, Antioquia) and grows at altitudes of 300–1510 m above sea level.

Appearance.

The large, pleated leaves of Anthurium veitchii can grow over a meter long and have a deep green, almost shiny surface. Anthurium veitchii grows slowly but steadily and prefers a plant support to climb on.

A. veitchii has a compact root system that does not climb. The leaves are on 60–95 cm long petioles and hang vertically when the plant is fully grown. They usually grow to around 90 cm long and 25 cm wide, but larger specimens can have leaves over 150 cm long and 40 cm wide. The leaves gradually become narrower towards the tip.

The most striking feature of Anthurium veitchii is the prominent, sunken primary lateral veins, which run horizontally from the main vein like rungs. The distance between these veins can vary between individuals, and sometimes people talk about “narrow” or “wide” forms. However, these are not botanical forms but merely descriptions of this feature.

The exact function of the sunken lateral veins is unknown, but A. veitchii grows in a cool, shady environment where it is cloudy almost 90% of the year. The raised “ribs” may help the leaf dry faster or capture more light.

Care.

Plant your Anthurium veitchii in an airy, well-drained soil mix that mimics its natural habitat. For example, our Aroid Soil , a mix of orchid bark, sphagnum and perlite. Anthuriums thrive best in bright but indirect sunlight and like high humidity. Water regularly, but make sure the soil is allowed to dry out slightly between waterings to prevent root rot.

Anthurium veitchii with its majestic presence and unusually large leaves is sure to make your friends jealous. Buy Anthurium veitchii online today and give your home a royal touch with this exotic green plant!

Colorful and Vivid
Format: Hardcover
This picture book features vivid cut-paper illustrations that visualize the concrete images in the poetic text. I found aspects of the poem abstract enough that I'm not sure if young children would connect with it, but they can enjoy the rhythmic language and emphasis on phonic sounds related to the letter "O," even if some of the abstract thought is beyond them. The vivid and colorful pages will definitely appeal to both children and adults, and the book has a nice message about hope and God's love. Throughout the book, the letter "O" appears in different colors, and the note at the beginning of the book encourages children to find things in the illustration that start with that letter. Children could also count how many times the letter appears in the text. This would be a great choice for Christian families, churches, and Christian preschools, and would combine very well with a cut-paper craft for kids to do. The author's note also includes some open-ended discussion questions that adults can use with children.

Our Creative Designer Invites Us to Hope Fully in Him
Format: Kindle
Because I’m spending time now in the public schools, I’m seeing how desperately our children need an infusion of hope, so I’m thrilled to share an InterVarsity Press collaboration between poet Luci Shaw and illustrator Ned Bustard in which hope and joy meet. Little meaning-makers will be entertained by whimsical images and then gently introduced to our safe haven of hope, “the center of the loving heart of God.” The O in Hope grows up with your child, for toddlers can point to the multicolored O‘s on each page while older children identify the O words and play I SPY in search of critters beginning with the letter O. Both poetry and hope are meant to be spoken out loud, so wise parents who are determined to “hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering” will find strong support in words and images that point to the creative Designer whose faithfulness invites us to hope fully in him. Many thanks to IVP Kids for providing a copy of this book to facilitate my review, which is, of course, offered freely and with honesty.

A Treasure
Format: Hardcover
The O in Hope by Luci Shaw and illustrated by Ned Bustard is a beautiful book for children. This book is geared more for younger elementary students, although I read it to my ten year old son and we still loved it. Luci Shaw is an absolute treasure. I read this book after hearing her and Ned Bustard speak about this book on a podcast. I adore her personally and hope she has more poems turned into picture books like this. Ned Bustard was the perfect choice to illustrate this book. I highly recommend this beautiful, cheerful book. I received a digital copy of this book from the publisher with no obligations. These opinions are entirely my own.
