Anthurium ‘Darkie’ is a striking tropical houseplant admired for its dramatic, deep-toned foliage and compact growth habit. This variety is especially valued for its dark green to almost black leaves, which develop a rich velvety sheen as they mature. The foliage is often slightly elongated and heart-shaped, with prominent veins that stand out against the darker leaf surface, giving the plant an elegant and sophisticated appearance.

Unlike larger Anthurium varieties, Anthurium ‘Darkie’ remains relatively compact, making it ideal for shelves, desks, terrariums, or smaller indoor spaces. Its moody colouring makes it particularly popular in darker-themed houseplant collections and pairs beautifully with variegated or lighter foliage plants for contrast.

As the plant matures, new leaves often emerge with a bronze or reddish tint before gradually darkening to their mature deep green-black colour. Under the right conditions, Anthurium ‘Darkie’ may also produce small, understated flowers typical of Anthuriums, consisting of a spadix and spathe, although it is mainly grown for its foliage rather than its blooms.

This variety thrives indoors where it enjoys warm temperatures, good humidity, and bright but indirect light. With the correct care, Anthurium ‘Darkie’ is a rewarding and relatively easy plant to grow, producing a steady flush of beautifully dark leaves throughout the year.

Key Features

  • Deep green to near-black foliage with a velvety finish
  • Compact, manageable growth habit
  • New leaves often emerge bronze or reddish before darkening
  • Ideal for indoor plant collections and smaller spaces
  • Suited to warm, humid indoor environments
  • Grown primarily for its dramatic foliage rather than flowers

Anthurium ‘Darkie’ Care Guide

Light

Anthurium ‘Darkie’ grows best in bright, indirect light. A position near an east or north-facing window is ideal, or a few feet back from a brighter south or west-facing window.

Avoid direct sunlight, particularly during the middle of the day, as this can scorch the dark leaves and cause brown patches or fading. Too little light can result in slower growth and smaller, less dramatic leaves.

Watering

Allow the top 2–3 cm of compost to dry out before watering again. Anthurium ‘Darkie’ prefers lightly moist soil but does not like sitting in soggy conditions.

Water thoroughly when needed, allowing excess water to drain away fully. During spring and summer, this may mean watering around once a week, while in winter it will usually need less frequent watering.

Overwatering is one of the most common causes of problems and can lead to yellow leaves and root rot.

Humidity

This Anthurium enjoys moderate to high humidity and performs best with humidity levels above 60%.

If your home is dry, especially during winter when heating is on, consider:

  • Using a humidifier
  • Placing the plant near other houseplants
  • Standing the pot on a tray of pebbles and water

Low humidity can cause brown, crispy edges on the leaves and may stop new leaves from developing properly.

Temperature

Keep Anthurium ‘Darkie’ in temperatures between 18–27°C.

Avoid exposing it to temperatures below 15°C, cold draughts, or sudden temperature changes. Keep the plant away from open windows in winter and from radiators or heaters that can dry the foliage.

Soil

A loose, airy, free-draining houseplant mix is best. Anthurium ‘Darkie’ benefits from a chunky substrate that allows plenty of airflow around the roots.

A good mix could include:

  • Houseplant compost or coco coir
  • Orchid bark
  • Perlite or pumice
  • A little activated charcoal or sphagnum moss

Dense, heavy compost that stays wet for too long should be avoided.

Feeding

Feed every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer with a balanced liquid houseplant fertiliser diluted to half strength.

Do not overfeed, as too much fertiliser can damage the roots and cause brown tips. Feeding is usually unnecessary during autumn and winter when growth slows down.

Repotting

Repot every 1–2 years or when the plant becomes rootbound. Choose a pot only slightly larger than the previous one, as Anthuriums prefer to be somewhat snug in their containers.

The best time to repot is in spring or early summer when the plant is actively growing.

Common Problems

  • Yellow leaves: Usually caused by overwatering or poor drainage
  • Brown leaf edges: Often due to low humidity or inconsistent watering
  • Pale or leggy growth: The plant may need more bright, indirect light
  • Crispy patches on leaves: Usually caused by direct sun exposure
  • Drooping leaves: Can indicate either underwatering or root problems from overwatering

Pet Safety

Anthurium ‘Darkie’ is toxic if ingested and should be kept away from pets and small children. Like other Anthuriums, it contains calcium oxalate crystals which can cause irritation if chewed.

With the right combination of warmth, humidity, and indirect light, Anthurium ‘Darkie’ will reward you with a continual display of rich, dramatic foliage and become a standout plant in any indoor collection.

This Oil Definitely Glitters!
Color: Glistening Bronze, Color: Glistening Bronze
I really wanted to love this shimmer oil, but it's unfortunately not my favorite. I love that it has SPF! That is a big win for me! The oil is also very good at hydrating my skin, which I appreciate. My problem comes with the shimmer of the product. The glitter in it is too big for my liking. With it being called a shimmer oil, I expected tiny glitter that softly shimmers like shimmer powders, lotions, and oils usually do. But this stuff glit-ters! And because it's bigger sized glitter, it's a lot easier to see when it gets all over everything like clothes, furniture, spouses and children. If the shimmering glitter in this was just smaller and softer, I would love this for summer time to use on my legs and arms. But it's unfortunately just not my favorite and I don't think I'll be using it anymore.

Soft, Effective & Perfect for Daily Makeup Removal!
Size: 25 Count (Pack of 1), Style: Makeup Remover Wipes
I recently started using Cetaphil Gentle Makeup Removing Face Wipes (Daily Cleansing Facial Towelettes), and they’ve quickly become a staple in my skincare routine. If you want a gentle yet effective way to remove makeup at the end of the day, these are fantastic. 💧 Gentle on Skin: These wipes are super soft and feel very soothing on the skin — perfect for sensitive skin like mine. They don’t tug or irritate, even around the delicate eye area. 💄 Effective Makeup Removal: These wipes remove foundation, mascara, eyeliner, and everyday makeup easily. I’ve used them on full-face makeup, and they still do a thorough job without leaving gunky residue. 🌿 Daily Use Friendly: They feel like a gentle cleanse rather than a harsh scrub. My skin feels clean and refreshed afterward, not tight or stripped. 🧼 Convenient & Easy: The towelettes come in a nice, easy-to-open pack that keeps them moist and ready to use anytime — great for travel, late nights, or quick routines. ✨ Non-Irritating Formula: No harsh fragrances or strong chemicals — just clean, balanced cleansing that feels soothing and safe. Overall, Cetaphil Gentle Makeup Removing Face Wipes are a reliable, comfortable, and convenient choice for everyday makeup removal. Highly recommend for anyone who wants effective cleansing without irritation! 🌸🧖‍♀️✨

Excellent for sensitive skin- no fragrance, gets makeup/ sunscreen off
Size: 25 Count (Pack of 1), Style: Makeup Remover Wipes
These are my new go to makeup remover wipes at the end of the day, I used Clinique tske the day away wipes for years but they changed the formula and it started to bother my skin. I am very happy to say these are way cheaper and they do not irritate my sensitive skin at all. They stay nice and wet and the makeup and sunscreen come off really well. My toner pad has less leftover on it moving to this brand. Love that they are fragrance free and that these technically do not need to be washed off (although I do always follow with a toner on a pad after).

Great for Sensitive Skin, But Could Be a Bit More Moist
Size: 25 Count (Pack of 1), Style: Makeup Remover Wipes
I’ve been using these face wipes for years now, and I really like how truly gentle they are on my skin—which is important since I have sensitive skin. That’s honestly the main reason I continue to repurchase them to remove my daily face makeup. They never irritate my skin, and the fact that they’re scent-free is a big plus when using them on my face. That said, I do wish the wipes had a little more moisture to them. While they don't come dry, I often find myself having to go over the same areas more than once, which could be improved. Also, keep in mind that these wipes alone won’t fully remove all makeup residue, so I always follow up with a proper cleanse and face wash. All in all, a solid and reliable choice—especially for those of us with sensitive skin!
