Anthurium 'Queen of Hearts' is one of the most theatrical aroids in cultivation. New leaves emerge a deep, burnished red, shifting through iridescent bronze before settling into a rich, near-black dark green at maturity. The leaves are large, heart-shaped, and deeply velvety in texture, with a weight and presence that makes each one feel significant. This is a slow-growing, patient plant that rewards careful attention: the colour transformation from juvenile to mature leaf is one of the more remarkable things you will see on a houseplant shelf. As a collector's hybrid believed to have arisen through spontaneous tissue culture mutation, it sits comfortably alongside the most coveted plants in any serious Anthurium collection.

Origins
The precise wild lineage of Anthurium 'Queen of Hearts' is not fully documented, but its parent species are rooted in the tropical cloud and montane forests of South America, where humidity is consistently high and light is filtered through dense canopy.

Soil and Substrate
Anthurium 'Queen of Hearts' needs a substrate with excellent drainage and aeration. Dense, moisture-retaining compost leads to root rot and stalled growth. Our Anthurium Premium Potting Mix is peat-free and formulated specifically for epiphytic Anthuriums.
