Anthurium warocqueanum × waterburyanum

Long, narrow velvet leaves shape Anthurium warocqueanum × waterburyanum from the start. The blades develop a deep green surface, pale venation and a hanging growth direction that needs open space around and below the pot.

The cross combines the elongated foliage associated with Anthurium warocqueanum with the Ecuadorian Anthurium waterburyanum parent. Indoors, the plant should sit where new blades can open and harden without pressing against shelves, glass or nearby pots.

Long velvet leaf features

  • Elongated foliage: The leaves have a narrow, hanging shape with a soft velvet surface.
  • Pale vein pattern: Light veins run through the blade and become clearer as the leaf matures.
  • Downward leaf movement: The leaves need room below and around the pot as they lengthen.
  • Soft expanding blades: New leaves can crease or mark if they touch hard surfaces while unfurling.
  • Epiphytic root behaviour: Thick roots need a loose, airy substrate with steady but never stagnant moisture.
  • Space-sensitive growth: Open placement helps the long leaves expand without rubbing or folding against nearby surfaces.

Long-leaf growth and indoor placement

The leaf shape makes placement important. A shelf edge, plant stand or open bench can give the blades space to extend as they grow. If new leaves press against a wall or neighbouring plant, the soft velvet surface may crease before it has hardened.

The root zone should be open and oxygen-rich, similar to other velvet Anthurium with epiphytic tendencies. A heavy, compact mix keeps too much water around the roots and can weaken the crown before leaf symptoms become obvious.

Care for Anthurium warocqueanum × waterburyanum

  • Placement: Give the leaves physical space below the pot and avoid narrow shelves where new blades can press against hard surfaces.
  • Substrate: Choose a chunky Anthurium mix with bark, coarse mineral material and fibres that prevent the root zone from compacting.
  • Humidity: Higher humidity helps long new leaves unfurl without sticking, tearing or drying at the edges.
  • Water: Keep the substrate evenly moist but airy, with a slight dry-down at the top before the next watering.
  • Light: Use bright filtered light. Direct sun can scorch long velvet leaves and dry the tips.
  • Temperature: Keep the plant warm and protect it from cold drafts, cold water and cold wet substrate.
  • Feeding: Feed lightly during active growth and keep the root zone flushed if salts collect in the mix.

Problems with long velvet leaves

  • Creased new leaves: Long soft blades can crease if they rub against shelving, glass or other plants during expansion.
  • Brown tips and margins: Dry air, irregular moisture or root stress can brown the edges of the elongated leaves.
  • Loose crown: A wobbling base can point to root loss in a dense or overly wet mix.
  • Scorch marks: Strong sun can leave pale dry patches on the velvet surface.
  • Pests: Thrips, spider mites and mealybugs can hide along the midrib, petioles and undersides of long leaves.

Safety for Anthurium warocqueanum × waterburyanum

Anthurium is not safe for pets or children to chew. The plant contains calcium oxalate crystals, which can irritate the mouth, throat, skin and eyes after contact with sap or damaged tissue.

Botanical name background

Perfect for travel... very comfortable!
These things are amazing! I bought these a couple weeks before a trip to Italy and had planned on doing a lot of walking in them. I only got to wear them a couple times before we went on our trip, but no blisters, even during LOTS of walking in them on the trip! They wore in super quickly while still keeping their durability. My feet stay dry even in lots of rain. The photos show the wear on them after a few months, including a couple weeks of travel, and weeks of wear around town. My only complaint is that there is a tiny something (a little knot of thread with glue? not sure...) that is at the top of the opening of the boot, and it rubs the back of my ankle and makes a sore. That isn't enough to make me not wear them though. There's a photo that shows this. As you can see it's super tiny, and probably not even a flaw, it just hits my ankle *just* right so that it rubs.

These shoes were perfect! Cute design
Spent more than I typically would on shoes to get a quality pair for a trip. Needed a dependable shoe that would be waterproof for hiking and exploring the often wet climate and terrain. These shoes were perfect! Cute design. Very comfortable. Fit as expected. Kept my feet warm and dry. Good for hiking as well as walking the streets of the little towns we explored. I'm glad I invested in these boots!

Chic Comfort
I really enjoy these boots. Excellent for wet muddy city streets! The slip on version are a bit narrow when it comes to putting them on. I wear a size 8 and ordered 8.5 for extra room , but they were too long. I think if you have wide feet these may not be too comfortable. Overall a good leather shoe. No water sipped through while wearing.

Need breaking in, but awesome quality
I was a little worried when I first got these- my feet are a little wider than normal, but not wide enough to need wide width. They were quite snug the first few times I wore them, but after some breaking in they fit PERFECT. I did have to go up a half size from my normal 7 to a 7.5, but these boots are fantastic and I can tell I have them for a long time!

Get these! You won't regret it!
These are my go-to winter shoes! They are waterproof- I love them bc they don't look like your typical "rainboots"! Stylish- I get compliments everytime I wear them! Comfortable- first time I wore them they were tight through the middle of my foot, but after two wears I had them nice and broke in, now my most comfortable shoes!
