Latin name: Anthurium hybrid (commonly known as King of Spade ‘Red Vein’)
Common name: King of Spade Red Vein Anthurium
This striking hybrid is admired for its large, elongated spade-shaped leaves etched with bold red venation. Native to tropical regions of Central and South America (hybrid origin), its foliage combines deep green with a dramatic overlay of crimson veins, creating an exotic, almost painted appearance. 🍃❤️
FLOWER DETAILS
As with other foliage anthuriums, the flowers are less prominent than the leaves. It produces a spadix and spathe—usually green to reddish—that can last several weeks. While subtle, they add another layer of tropical charm, though the foliage remains the main attraction. 🌸
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
☀️ Light: Bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sun which can scorch the leaves.
💧 Water: Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy. Allow the top layer to dry slightly before watering again.
🌡️ Humidity: Thrives in high humidity (70–85%). Essential to maintain leaf color intensity and prevent crisping.
🪴 Soil: Use a chunky aroid mix (orchid bark, perlite, sphagnum moss) for excellent drainage and aeration.
🏺 Potting: Repot every 1–2 years to refresh soil and accommodate roots; choose a pot with good drainage.
🌱 Growth rate: Moderate; new leaves appear every few months, often increasing in size as the plant matures.
🐾 Pet friendly: No — contains calcium oxalate; keep out of reach of pets and children.
