Latin name: Anthurium Veitchii (Wide Form)
Common name: King Anthurium
Native to the Colombian cloud forests, this giant aroid is celebrated for its massive, wide leaves that drape elegantly like green velvet banners. Its deeply corrugated texture and regal size give it the nickname “King Anthurium,” making it one of the most dramatic foliage plants in cultivation. 🍃FLOWER DETAILS
Like other anthuriums, it produces a spadix with a surrounding spathe. The bloom is usually pale green to pinkish, subtle compared to the foliage, but lasting for several weeks. Indoors, flowers are occasional; the plant is grown primarily for its enormous leaves. 🌸
