Anthurium watermaliense

Anthurium watermaliense is the accepted species behind the common names Black Anthurium and Black Prince, both used for its dark violet-purple spathe. The foliage itself is glossy green, deeply lobed and held from a short, thick-rooted crown.

The plant can grow terrestrially or occasionally epiphytically in wet tropical habitats. In cultivation, it needs steady moisture, warm conditions and an open substrate that keeps oxygen around the roots.

Recognising Anthurium watermaliense

  • Foliage: Deeply lobed, cordate leaves with a glossy to semi-glossy upper surface.
  • Inflorescence: Dark violet-purple spathe, often the reason for the Black Anthurium nickname.
  • Growth habit: Short-stemmed Anthurium with thick roots and a self-standing crown.
  • Cataphylls: Protective leaf sheaths can wear into fibres around the stem.
  • Origin: Native from Costa Rica to Colombia in wet tropical habitats.
  • Root structure: Dense roots need moisture and air rather than compact, saturated substrate.

Leaves, roots and spathe of Anthurium watermaliense

Anthurium watermaliense has lobed, glossy leaves with a paler underside and a compact stem that stays close to the pot. Mature plants can produce a dark spathe that may appear almost black in certain light, although botanically it is better described as deep violet-purple.

The thick roots need moisture and oxygen at the same time. A bark-rich aroid mix keeps the root zone open, while regular but measured watering prevents the crown from sitting in stale, saturated substrate.

Indoor care for Anthurium watermaliense

  • Light: Bright filtered light keeps the leaves firm and reduces scorch risk on glossy surfaces.
  • Watering: Keep the mix lightly moist, then let excess water drain fully after each watering.
  • Substrate: Use an airy organic aroid mix with bark, coarse fibre and mineral structure.
  • Humidity: Moderate to high humidity keeps new leaves and inflorescences from drying at the edges.
  • Temperature: Warm, stable conditions are important; cold wet roots can decline quickly.
  • Potting: Keep the crown slightly above the substrate surface so the short stem stays dry and ventilated.
  • Feeding: Feed lightly during active growth and flush the pot occasionally to reduce salt marks on leaf edges.

Leaf, root and spathe issues on Anthurium watermaliense

  • Soft yellowing leaves: Check drainage and root condition, especially if the substrate feels dense or sour.
  • Brown edges: Low humidity, inconsistent watering or fertiliser salts can mark the leaf margins.
  • Damaged spathe: Dry air, handling or transport can crease or dry the dark spathe.
  • Pest marks: Inspect new growth, petioles and leaf undersides for thrips, mites and mealybugs.

Plant safety with Anthurium watermaliense

Keep Anthurium watermaliense away from pets and small children. Like other Anthurium species, it contains calcium oxalate crystals that can irritate the mouth, throat, skin and eyes.

Botanical notes on Anthurium watermaliense

Anthurium watermaliense was described by L.H.Bailey and Nash and published in 1914. It is an accepted Araceae species native from Costa Rica to Colombia. The genus name Anthurium refers to the tail-like spadix of the inflorescence.

Bright, Versatile, and Easy to Use!
Color: Warm White
This Dual-Power Patio Umbrella Light is exactly what I needed for evening gatherings! I love that it works with both rechargeable and regular batteries—super convenient. The three lighting modes are perfect for setting the mood, whether it’s a dinner party or just relaxing outside. It clips easily onto the umbrella pole and stays secure. Great for patios and even camping. Definitely worth it!

This little light is bright!
Color: Cool White
I was looking for a light to hang with my outdoor table that has an umbrella. I did not know this was a thing! But I am glad I found it! It fits perfect, snaps right on. The light is bright enough to see the entire area located under the umbrella. I am unsure how long the battery life works as we haven't stayed out past dark more than an hour or so, but it has worked every day for a week! Awesome product, awesome idea! Why didn't I think of that!?! Totally recommend this little light!

This umbrella light is small , compact and very lightweight, you can effortlessly move it around if your changing umbrellas. I Also love how bright this little thing is, with the click of a button the place is brightly lit. Love, that you don't have to have all the lights on if you don't want to that's a stand out feature. Great little light that adds a touch of elegance. Very user-friendly, in seconds to minutes its up and running.

Great Light but NOT USB CHARGEABLE
I bought this lamp for my bell tent, which has a center pole. It did exactly what I wanted it to do: provide light to my whole tent instead of depending on a lantern or flashlight. It snapped on easily and fit the pole perfectly. I wish it had a remote but I could have spent more and bought one with that functionality. The reason I took a star off is because it is advertised as being USB and even requires RECHARGABLE batteries. Since I'm not savvy on these things I paid extra for the batteries thinking the USB charges them in the device. NOPE. The USB is just for powering the light from an ac source (which is pointless for what I use it for).

Kinda of a cool gadget

I really didn't know I needed this until I got it! Easy and quick to recharge batteries (they do not come with rechargeable batteries). Put out enough light for an evening outside around the table
