Anthurium veitchii

Anthurium veitchii grows long pleated leaves that need vertical space as they develop. This Colombian epiphytic Anthurium forms pendant blades with deep horizontal corrugation.

Long petioles carry the leaves out from the centre before the blades descend. A raised position gives the mature leaves room to hang.

Pendant leaves and pleating

  • Long, narrow leaves that hang downward with age
  • Deep horizontal corrugation
  • Crown-forming epiphytic growth
  • Long petioles that hold leaves away from the crown before they drop
  • Mature plants need vertical clearance
  • Fresh leaves are soft and easy to mark

Anthurium veitchii origin

Anthurium veitchii is native to Colombia, especially Chocó and Antioquia, where it grows as an epiphytic subshrub in wet tropical conditions. Its roots need warmth, moisture and an airy mix.

When it flowers, it produces the usual Anthurium spathe and spadix. Mature plants are easy to recognise by their long pleated leaves.

Anthurium veitchii care

  • Light: Bright filtered light supports longer leaves and clearer pleating. Weak light often gives shorter, narrower growth.
  • Watering: Water when the upper substrate begins to dry. Keep the mix lightly moist and let excess water drain fully.
  • Substrate: A coarse aroid mix with bark, coarse fibre and pumice or perlite gives the roots the open spaces they need.
  • Placement: A shelf edge, raised pot or plant stand lets the leaves descend naturally.
  • Temperature: Warm, even conditions support the roots while long leaves are forming.
  • Humidity: Around 60–80% humidity helps new leaves expand and pleat evenly.
  • Feeding: Use light regular feeding during active growth.
  • Repotting: Repot when roots fill the container or the mix has softened. Keep the crown above the mix.
  • Handling: Keep fresh leaves away from walls, glass and rough surfaces while they expand.
  • Propagation: Divide only when a mature plant has separate growth points and strong roots.

Common issues on Anthurium veitchii

  • Uneven pleating: Low humidity or limited space while the leaf unfurls can disturb the pleats.
  • Brown tips: Dry air, irregular watering or strong fertiliser can lead to brown tips.
  • Yellow older leaves: Older leaves can yellow faster if roots stay too wet or the mix has become compact.
  • Short narrow leaves: Short, narrow leaves often mean the plant needs brighter filtered light or stronger roots.
  • Leaf cracking: Give more clearance and keep the plant steady while leaves are expanding.
  • Root decline: Dense wet mix, cool roots and poor drainage are common causes.

Vertical clearance

A raised position lets the leaves lengthen naturally instead of folding against the pot, shelf or furniture.

Safe placement

Keep Anthurium veitchii away from pets and children. The plant contains insoluble calcium oxalate crystals, which can cause mouth and throat irritation if plant material is eaten. Clean your hands after handling cut, broken or damaged tissue.

Name origin

The epithet veitchii honours the Veitch nursery name, linked with 19th-century plant introductions. Anthurium refers to the tail-like spadix.

Room Divider That Gives Instant “This Is a Separate Space Now” Energy
Size: 3 Panel 12FT W
The Siebwin 3 Panel Folding Privacy Screen is surprisingly effective at changing the feel of a room without requiring construction, commitment, or somebody yelling about load bearing walls. The 12 foot width gives a substantial amount of coverage, making it useful for creating privacy, dividing open areas, blocking visual clutter, or setting up temporary sections within larger rooms. This saved us a ton of time and money in our new studio and enabled us to create a kitchen and office in one room. The wider feet make a huge difference because flimsy room dividers that collapse every time someone exhales too aggressively are deeply annoying. This one feels more stable and grounded once positioned. The folding design makes it easy to move around or adjust depending on the space, and it folds down relatively compactly when not in use. It is basically the introvert curtain wall of dreams. The material has a clean, neutral look that blends well into different room styles without screaming “temporary office cubicle panic.” It works well for apartments, studios, shared spaces, dressing areas, or simply hiding the mountain of chaos you swear you are going to organize tomorrow. Practical, portable, and refreshingly easy to use without turning setup into a three hour emotional event.

It's 2 panels holding 1 big privacy screen. Can't use as 2 separate 4' panels, but works great.
Size: 2 Panel 8FT W
This 2 panel privacy screen works well. Assembly was very straight forward, with easily labeled tubes. My son and I had it together in about 10 minutes, which was probably 3 minutes of me telling him to quit playing around and hand me the parts. It feels very sturdy, not likely to fall over or anything. The material fits well, with the Velcro being very strong. Measurements are all very accurate, with all pieces attaching properly. We have a similar privacy screen at work that we have to try and stretch out because the top and bottom Velcro doesn't fit quite right... this model does not have any issues though. The material is thin and light weight, but solid black so that you can't see anything through or behind it. I definitely think it's a great deal for the money. What I think would have given it 5 stars though, is if you had 2 totally separate 4' panels instead of 2 panels with one big screen. It really wouldn't cost any extra to make it so that the screen was in 2 pieces and you could use it as 2 separate panels instead of having to use it as one big panel. It says 2 panel folding privacy screens, but it's really one big one that folds in the middle.

Great Quality
Color: Pine
The fabric panels are sturdy and scratch-resistant, and the pine frame gives them a clean, natural look. Easy to move and reposition as needed, making them great for bedrooms, studios, or shared spaces. They don’t feel flimsy and hold their shape once set up.

Not quite but close.
Color: Pine
The panel is hollow. If you’re buying it thinking it’s going to dampen sound, it really won’t. I bought some foam to put in the hollow part and that works okay, but it shouldn’t be required.
