The Anthurium veitchii, known as the King Anthurium, is an absolutely magnificent species that I'm incredibly excited to offer, representing the pinnacle of Anthurium collecting with its dramatic pendulous leaves and stunning corrugated texture. This exceptional plant produces some of the most architecturally striking foliage in the plant world, with long, lance-shaped leaves that can cascade gracefully whilst displaying deeply impressed parallel veining that creates a mesmerising ribbed effect.

Care Information Light:
Bright, indirect light is essential for optimal growth. Avoid direct sunlight which can scorch the delicate leaves. Morning sun can be beneficial, but protect from harsh afternoon rays.

Water when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Maintain consistent moisture without waterlogging, and reduce watering during winter months.
Humidity:
Optimal humidity ranges from 70-80%, with a minimum of 60%. High humidity is crucial for proper leaf development and preventing crispy edges.
