We think this Anthurium is the perfect blend of old school Anthuriums, once popular for their shiny, alien like flowers, and the more on trend Anthuriums of today, loved for their large leaves and intense veination. The ‘Queen of Hearts’ isn’t about velvety textures or bold vein contrast. Instead, it stands out for its deep red black colour palette and reptilian like aesthetic.

What can feel like a fairly understated plant when young really packs a punch as it matures. New growth emerges in a bright blood red before hardening off to a near black. As the plant grows, leaf size increases too, producing large, heart shaped leaves with a shiny, pillowy texture.

The origin of this plant isn’t entirely clear, but it isn’t one you would find in the wild. If you are looking to add something a little more unusual to your collection, this is a top pick. Give it warm, humid conditions and a chunky, well draining soil, and you will be rewarded with those dramatic red black heart shaped leaves in no time.
