Anthurium veitchii

Anthurium veitchii, widely known as King Anthurium, is a Colombian epiphytic Anthurium with long, pendant leaves marked by deep, horizontal corrugation. The blades emerge upright and softer, then lengthen and hang as they mature, creating the pleated look that makes this species instantly recognisable.

Growth is centred around a firm crown, with each new leaf adding more length and texture. In a pot, the foliage needs vertical clearance because mature leaves naturally fall below the rim.

Anthurium veitchii leaf character

  • Growth habit: Epiphytic Anthurium with a crown-forming habit and pendant mature foliage.
  • Leaf form: Long, narrow blades that hang downward as they gain size.
  • Surface pattern: Deep transverse corrugation gives the leaves their pleated texture.
  • Colour: Green foliage with a satin to lightly glossy surface, depending on maturity and conditions.
  • Leaf clearance: Raised placement gives mature leaves enough drop space below the pot.

Origin, growth form and container behaviour

Anthurium veitchii is an accepted species in the Araceae family. It is native to Colombia, especially Chocó and Antioquia, and grows in the wet tropical biome as an epiphytic subshrub. Its root system is built for a warm, moist, airy setting, so the substrate should support both hydration and oxygen.

The inflorescence follows the Anthurium spathe-and-spadix form, while the long pleated leaves define the mature plant. As plants mature, the corrugation becomes more pronounced and the blades need more space to hang cleanly.

Care for Anthurium veitchii

  • Light: Place in bright filtered light. Good light produces longer leaves and defined pleating; shield the leaves from direct midday sun.
  • Watering: Water when the top part of the substrate has begun to dry. Keep the root zone lightly moist during active growth, with full drainage after each watering.
  • Substrate: Use a chunky aroid mix with bark, coarse fibre, pumice or perlite. The roots need air pockets throughout the pot.
  • Humidity: Aim for 60–80% humidity for smoother leaf expansion. Higher humidity is especially helpful while a new leaf is unfurling.
  • Temperature: Keep warm, around 20–28 °C. Growth slows in cool conditions, particularly when the substrate remains wet for longer.
  • Feeding: Feed lightly through the growing season. Regular low-dose nutrition allows long leaves to develop better than occasional heavy feeding.
  • Placement: Use a stand, shelf edge or raised pot that allows mature leaves to descend naturally.
  • Repotting: Repot when roots fill the container or the mix has softened. Keep the crown above the substrate surface and avoid compressing the root ball.
  • Leaf handling: Keep expanding leaves away from walls, glass and rough surfaces, as the pleated tissue can mark while still soft.
  • Propagation: Divide mature plants only when separate growth points and strong roots are present.

What to watch on Anthurium veitchii

  • Uneven pleating: Check whether the emerging leaf had enough humidity and space while unfurling.
  • Brown tips: Review watering consistency, humidity and fertiliser strength. Long leaf margins show stress early.
  • Yellow older leaves: Inspect root condition and substrate age. A stale mix can reduce oxygen around the roots.
  • Short, narrow new growth: Increase filtered light gradually and check whether the plant has enough active roots to support larger leaves.
  • Leaf cracking: Give new leaves more clearance and avoid moving the plant while a blade is still expanding.

Anthurium veitchii needs vertical clearance, consistent warmth and an airy root zone. Once mature, the leaves shape the plant’s outline, so placement matters as much as pot size.

Anthurium veitchii safety notes

Anthurium veitchii should be kept away from pets and children that may chew plant material. Like other Anthurium species, it contains insoluble calcium oxalate crystals that can irritate the mouth and throat if chewed or swallowed. Keep it away from pets and small children, and wash hands after handling damaged tissue.

Anthurium veitchii name background

The accepted botanical name is Anthurium veitchii Mast., in the family Araceae. Anthurium comes from Greek words meaning “flower” and “tail”, referring to the spadix. The epithet veitchii honours the Veitch horticultural name, associated with 19th-century plant collecting and nursery introductions.

Anthurium veitchii develops long pendant leaves with deep horizontal pleats, especially when raised so mature blades can lengthen below the pot.

Color-treated hair that looks fabulous!
Scent: Mango & Hibiscus, Size: 12 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I received a small sample of this shampoo as part of a Whole Foods 12 Days of Beauty holiday promotion. Normally those boxes are loaded with third-rate products the store is trying to promote. Well, not this time. I was desperate to find a shampoo that would clean my color-treated but very, very fine hair without stripping the color or weighing it down with far too much moisture - bordering on greasy. This shampoo has really been a game changer for me (going grey or shaving my head were considerations). It gently cleans my hair (and scalp) with no down-side results, and smells divine. My hair looks healthy & fluffy (no greasiness!) all day long and even into the following day. Added bonus - genuine shine. I must add that I have pretty short hair so I honestly don’t need much to clean me up, although I do wash it daily. The amount in the carton is smaller than a lot of brands out there but, in my situation, I feel I am getting value for my money. My expensive dye-job looks awesome every single day - so you’ve gotta weigh your choices. It’s working well for me and it just might be a solution for you but you won’t know unless you try it.

Nourishing mango & hibiscus - LOVE!!
Scent: Mango & Hibiscus, Size: 12 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I was looking for a clean nontoxic alternative to my usually shampoo and conditioner. I’ve alternated around between the expensive salon-grade and Sephora products for the past 10 years. I thought I’d give Babo’s new shampoo and conditioner a try because I love the body wash. I love this stuff! It makes my hair so clean and soft. For reference, my hair type is straight and fine, but I have a lot of hair. I’m brunette and haven’t colored it in over a year. I noticed the shampoo doesn’t foam up as much as other shampoos I use, but my hair still comes out clean and I can usually go 5 days between shampooing again (I double shampoo my roots which helps). I also noticed the conditioner is a little more on the milkier/thinner side, which makes sense for the products to have more flow to them because they are in cartons meant to pour. I still use my usual leave-in conditioner spray and some hair oil after I wash and it all works great together. Overall I love the shampoo + conditioner, they smell great, they cost less than my usual products and they’re clean ingredients so it’s a win win. Worth a try!

Great product
Scent: Mango & Hibiscus, Size: 12 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Excellent product. It's very gentle on your hair, even if used in hard water. It's over priced though, and there isn't very much in the container.

Horrible packaging, not recommended
Scent: Mango & Hibiscus, Size: 12 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I didn’t see any positive or negative results, but main concern is packaging. Car board box is absolutely horrible idea for this kind of product, you will have zero control or idea how much you are going to poor to your hand, you can’t use refill bottles with pumps, because you have to shake it every time before use. Wouldn’t recommend to nobody, maybe it’s very healthy and good for hair but putting it in this box is terrible idea. Only good thing is smells okay, but they all smell good. And you can’t even return like this thing so waste of money. It spills everywhere, and if you drop or loose the cap you can’t even shake properly anymore.
