About The Anthurium Veitchii

The Anthurium Veitchii, also known as "King Anthurium", is a stunning tropical epiphyte prized for its dramatic, elongated leaves with a rippled texture. (An epiphyte is plant that grows on another plant and gets its nutrients and water from its surroundings.) Its leaves can grow impressively large, sometimes exceeding four feet in length(!!),  giving it quite the regal appearance. This slow-growing beauty will thrive best in bright, indirect light and high humidity.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why are the leaves on my Anthurium veitchii turning yellow?
Yellowing is mainly contributed by overwatering, especially if you notice the soil is soggy or waterlogged. Overwatering is caused by watering too frequently, but it can also occur if your plant is in too low of light or in a potting mix that isn't well-draining. Ensure you allow at least half the soil to dry out before watering an Anthurium and provide a well-draining potting mix.

Why are the leaf tips of my Anthurium veitchii turning brown?
Brown, crispy edges or tips are usually a sign of low humidity or underwatering. It can also indicate chemical burn from minerals building up in soil from either hard tap water or synthetic fertilizer. Try upgrading to distilled water or rain water, and boost your room's humidity with a humidifier.
