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.

Great lighter weight hoodie
Size: XX-Large, Color: Black
Great lighter weight hoodie but still goodie material not stiff linen material, looks great on, comfortable and soft, true to size, did arrive a day late which made my gift late and it appeared from the info on Amazon that they held the package until the day before it was to arrive and just shipped it late which ticks me a bit but overall I’m happy with the item

A very nice hoody to wear: a bit dressy in appearance, warm & ample of sizing, hood, pockets & cuffs
Size: XX-Large, Color: Blue Wave
This is a very nice hoodie! Whereas I thought the fabric a bit thin upon arrival, after laundering and wearing for the first time, thought it to be very warm. The hood itself is very ample of size and I have to pull it back or it will hang down over my eyes, blocking my vision. The blue and black design also helps to make it look a bit dressier rather than casual of which a non-print hoody may display. My 2x size is of good fit, not too tight and with ample sized pockets. I also like the sleeve cuffs, as they are solid black and lengthy without being too tight. A good purchase indeed and recommended; would make a great gift for yourself or others.

You get what you pay for
Size: X-Large, Color: Teal Blue
Fair warning this hoodie runs small. I normally wear a medium for T-shirts and hoodies. I ordered an extra large because I wanted this to be oversized. Not only was it not oversized. It was almost too small and definitely would’ve been after a wash or 2. Additionally, this is not as lightweight as advertised so expect to get a medium weight hoodie. Lastly, the design is pretty poor. I couldn’t hardly move my arms in any range of motion without the hoodie riding up. I would’ve marked this as a one star review but I should’ve known better than to expect a quality hoodie for $20. Just know you’re getting what you pay for.

Best of the Best!
Size: Medium, Color: Indigo
I basically live in zipper hoodies. I recently purchased several hoodies as the ones I bought a few years ago finally disintegrated. This one caught my attention as it is a 60/40 cotton poly blend and a french terry weight, which is my favorite. First off, the hoodie is a perfect medium weight, not like a regular sweatshirt. The fabric feels really smooth and doesn't pill. The seams are all sewn well. I cannot comment enough on how high quality this is. I have bought Amazon Basics before and really didn't like the quality or thin fabric, but this Essentials line feels higher quality and I would definitely purchase more of these. The blue is a beautiful color. As for sizing, I am female, 5'4" and about 150 lbs. and I got the medium and it fits perfectly. I usually wear a medium or large in women's clothes. I like the length of the men's version as it hits a little further down on my hips.
