Anthurium warocqueanum

Anthurium warocqueanum, often known as Queen Anthurium, is a Colombian epiphytic Anthurium with long, pendant velvet leaves and pale veins running through the blade. Young plants start with shorter, upright foliage, then gradually develop elongated leaves that give mature plants a vertical hanging form.

The plant grows from a central stem and produces leaves that hang downward as they mature. A raised pot, tall plant stand or stable vertical anchor keeps the blades clear of shelves and neighbouring plants.

Anthurium warocqueanum foliage profile

  • Growth habit: Epiphytic Anthurium with a central stem and long pendant leaves.
  • Leaf form: Narrow, elongated heart-shaped blades that lengthen noticeably with maturity.
  • Texture: Velvet green surface with a soft appearance and marked sensitivity to abrasion.
  • Venation: Pale veins run lengthwise through the blade and become more striking on larger leaves.
  • Placement: Raised placement gives mature foliage room to hang below the pot.

Origin, morphology and growth behaviour

Anthurium warocqueanum is an accepted species in the Araceae family. It is native to Colombia and grows in the wet tropical biome as an epiphyte. Its roots are adapted to a moist but aerated environment around tree surfaces, which is why container culture needs both humidity and excellent oxygen flow through the substrate.

The leaves can become very long under stable, warm, humid conditions, but their quality depends heavily on root health and consistent leaf expansion. A plant with active roots, filtered light and steady humidity usually produces cleaner, longer blades.

Care for Anthurium warocqueanum

  • Light: Give bright filtered light. The plant needs enough light for strong leaf production, while direct midday sun can scorch the soft surface.
  • Watering: Keep the substrate evenly moist, then let the upper layer begin to dry before watering again. The roots need moisture and air at the same time.
  • Substrate: Use a coarse epiphyte-style aroid mix with bark, chunky fibre, pumice or perlite. Fine, compacted mixes increase root-loss risk.
  • Humidity: Aim for 70–85% humidity for the cleanest leaf expansion. Air movement is important in enclosed cabinets or grow tents.
  • Temperature: Keep warm, ideally 21–28 °C. Avoid cold nights and a wet root zone, especially during slower growth.
  • Feeding: Feed lightly during active growth with a complete fertiliser. Large leaves respond better to steady low-level nutrition than irregular strong doses.
  • Support: A moss pole, plank or stable stake can help the stem stay upright while leaves hang downward from the crown.
  • Pot setup: Use a pot with generous drainage and enough weight to balance the pendant foliage. A raised position keeps mature blades clear of shelves and pot edges.
  • Repotting: Repot carefully before the substrate breaks down. Disturbed roots can slow the next leaf, so keep healthy roots intact where possible.
  • Outdoor summer placement: In warm European summer weather, move only acclimated plants to a sheltered, shaded position when nights stay above 18 °C.

Common signals in Queen Anthurium

  • Crisped leaf edges: Check humidity stability, airflow and fertiliser concentration. Long leaves lose quality quickly under dry or salty conditions.
  • Yellowing lower leaves: Inspect the roots and substrate. Older leaves often decline when the lower mix has become stale or waterlogged.
  • Short new leaves: Review light, root mass and temperature. Weak roots usually show through reduced leaf length.
  • Torn or stuck new growth: Keep humidity steady while a leaf is emerging and give the new blade space to unfurl.
  • Stem leaning: Add support early. A mature leaf can pull the crown forward if the stem has no vertical anchor.

Anthurium warocqueanum is easier to manage once light, moisture and stem anchoring stay consistent. Keep conditions steady while a new leaf is expanding, then adjust only after the blade has hardened.

Anthurium warocqueanum safety notes

Anthurium warocqueanum should be kept away from pets and children that may chew plant material. Its tissues contain insoluble calcium oxalate crystals that can irritate the mouth and throat if chewed or swallowed. Keep it away from pets and small children, and handle cut tissue with care.

Anthurium warocqueanum name background

The accepted botanical name is Anthurium warocqueanum T.Moore, in the family Araceae. The genus name Anthurium refers to the tail-like spadix. The species epithet warocqueanum honours the Belgian horticultural patron Arthur Warocqué.

Anthurium warocqueanum matures into long pendant velvet leaves with pale venation and a clear vertical hanging form.

Takes a beating - looks like new!
Color: Blue/Medium, Size: Blue
EDITED AGAIN, 12/28/22: My boy still has his original blue one of these and the yellow one from way back. He's received a couple more over the years which he's managed to sneak out of the house and lose - evidently neighbor dogs or perhaps foxes, etc love them, too, and carry them off?! At any rate, he'd managed to get himself back to his original two, so I bought him a late Christmas present of a new yellow bone. He just opened the package (with help, of course - he's smart, but lacks the necessary opposing thumbs to do it on his own) and he was ecstatic! He reached into the mailing envelope, grabbed it, gave it a couple of triumphant tosses then ran for his bed, pulled a blanket in, and has been chewing, fighting with, burying in the blanket and "discovering" it for about a half hour now! I don't know what the attraction is, but he still loves these things and they're still lasting! The only other toys that have lasted more than a day are Nylabones (because he won't even look at them, let alone touch them) and a set of interlocked skinny rubber rings that he's not at all interested in, but if I ask about them, he'll move them around the room for a couple of days to make me feel better! LOL EDITED TO ADD 2022: Here I am, back 5 1/2 years later to say my dog STILL has this bone and makes use of it a couple of times a week. And he still loves it and sleeps with it. He has gone through a couple of the smaller version (yellow instead of blue) over this time frame because those get constant use. But that’s amazing in itself!! These are still the only toy I would call indestructible. Great toy! I have a dachshund who destroys toys in record time. I can hear the amused chuckles now, but anyone who has seen him in action (including rottie, pit bull and Doberman owners) is in awe. He is very methodical and relentless - the mad genius of dog toy torture! Small and quiet but utterly ruthless. Anyway...my boy has been working on this since the beginning of October and the thing looks like new! I think you can see one tooth mark, otherwise it looks untouched! This is a dog who can reduce Kongs and other rubber toys to a pile of chunks in minutes. But he also LOVES it - carries it around, brings it into his bed at night to sleep, and when his doxie brother (who is far too dignified to do dog toys) doesn't feel well, it is offered up as a "feel better" snuggly...for about 2 minutes. But it's the thought that counts, right? I don't know what makes this so attractive to my mini-Jaws and so long-lasting, but it works!

HEAVEY Duty!
Color: Blue/Medium, Size: Blue
Almost not destructible! My dogs chew through 99% of the toys we purchase, but never this one! The medium size is good for our Doberman with jaws of steel!

Great chew toy to keep around the house
Color: Blue/Medium, Size: Blue, Color: Blue/Medium, Size: Blue
This came highly recommended by the behavioural team at the animal shelter and it hasn't disappointed. It's interesting reading the reviews, because our power-chewer pit-mix who can get a chunk off a split antler in a matter of minutes, hasn't ever been able to get a bite out of this bone! This is a great play toy for her, because it's soft enough that we can throw it for her to fetch in the house without worrying about breaking/denting something and are able to pull it out of her mouth fairly easily once she brings it back (still hasn't learned "drop it!"). The bone isn't flavored, so she'll rarely go to it on her own to chew on, but we keep it near the couch so if she ever gets bitey, we have it close at hand to offer to her as a chewer. It's also entertaining to tuck it into her collar and have her figure out how to remove it to play with it (see photo for this game and size compared to 50lb mutt).

Best bouncy bone!
Color: Orange/Large, Size: Orange, Color: Orange/Large, Size: Orange
My pups love these bones! They are soft and rubbery, but very durable. Had them for a little over 6 months and it has survived my extreme chewers and many tug of war games, and only has a few puncture marks! They bounce on my concrete floors and my pup loves to play fetch with this. Great purchase

Excellent for aggressive chewers
Color: Blue/Medium, Size: Blue
First I would like to say I think Jolly Pets are the best line of dog toys out there if you have an aggressive chewer. Their products have amazed me! And I am not being paid for this review. I have a 155 lb mastiff that is an excellent behaved boy but loves to destroy his toys. I had this bone in large and it held up excellent for about 4-5 months. I ordered it again in medium size by mistake and after 2 weeks it already has pieces missing...my fault. My only complaint is the medium size in blue smells like vanilla perfume. I can't wash it off. Although my handsome boy doesn't seem to mind. I just reordered in large. Also ordered a few other Jolly Pet toys as I am amazed at how they hold up. The "soccer ball" is my dogs favorite. It reinflates itself again and again no matter how much chewing or wear and tear its given. It's just magic!
