Anthurium veitchii

Anthurium veitchii, widely known as King Anthurium, is a Colombian epiphytic Anthurium with long, pendant leaves marked by deep, horizontal corrugation. The blades emerge upright and softer, then lengthen and hang as they mature, creating the pleated look that makes this species instantly recognisable.

Growth is centred around a firm crown, with each new leaf adding more length and texture. In a pot, the foliage needs vertical clearance because mature leaves naturally fall below the rim.

Anthurium veitchii leaf character

  • Growth habit: Epiphytic Anthurium with a crown-forming habit and pendant mature foliage.
  • Leaf form: Long, narrow blades that hang downward as they gain size.
  • Surface pattern: Deep transverse corrugation gives the leaves their pleated texture.
  • Colour: Green foliage with a satin to lightly glossy surface, depending on maturity and conditions.
  • Leaf clearance: Raised placement gives mature leaves enough drop space below the pot.

Origin, growth form and container behaviour

Anthurium veitchii is an accepted species in the Araceae family. It is native to Colombia, especially Chocó and Antioquia, and grows in the wet tropical biome as an epiphytic subshrub. Its root system is built for a warm, moist, airy setting, so the substrate should support both hydration and oxygen.

The inflorescence follows the Anthurium spathe-and-spadix form, while the long pleated leaves define the mature plant. As plants mature, the corrugation becomes more pronounced and the blades need more space to hang cleanly.

Care for Anthurium veitchii

  • Light: Place in bright filtered light. Good light produces longer leaves and defined pleating; shield the leaves from direct midday sun.
  • Watering: Water when the top part of the substrate has begun to dry. Keep the root zone lightly moist during active growth, with full drainage after each watering.
  • Substrate: Use a chunky aroid mix with bark, coarse fibre, pumice or perlite. The roots need air pockets throughout the pot.
  • Humidity: Aim for 60–80% humidity for smoother leaf expansion. Higher humidity is especially helpful while a new leaf is unfurling.
  • Temperature: Keep warm, around 20–28 °C. Growth slows in cool conditions, particularly when the substrate remains wet for longer.
  • Feeding: Feed lightly through the growing season. Regular low-dose nutrition allows long leaves to develop better than occasional heavy feeding.
  • Placement: Use a stand, shelf edge or raised pot that allows mature leaves to descend naturally.
  • Repotting: Repot when roots fill the container or the mix has softened. Keep the crown above the substrate surface and avoid compressing the root ball.
  • Leaf handling: Keep expanding leaves away from walls, glass and rough surfaces, as the pleated tissue can mark while still soft.
  • Propagation: Divide mature plants only when separate growth points and strong roots are present.

What to watch on Anthurium veitchii

  • Uneven pleating: Check whether the emerging leaf had enough humidity and space while unfurling.
  • Brown tips: Review watering consistency, humidity and fertiliser strength. Long leaf margins show stress early.
  • Yellow older leaves: Inspect root condition and substrate age. A stale mix can reduce oxygen around the roots.
  • Short, narrow new growth: Increase filtered light gradually and check whether the plant has enough active roots to support larger leaves.
  • Leaf cracking: Give new leaves more clearance and avoid moving the plant while a blade is still expanding.

Anthurium veitchii needs vertical clearance, consistent warmth and an airy root zone. Once mature, the leaves shape the plant’s outline, so placement matters as much as pot size.

Anthurium veitchii safety notes

Anthurium veitchii should be kept away from pets and children that may chew plant material. Like other Anthurium species, it contains insoluble calcium oxalate crystals that can irritate the mouth and throat if chewed or swallowed. Keep it away from pets and small children, and wash hands after handling damaged tissue.

Anthurium veitchii name background

The accepted botanical name is Anthurium veitchii Mast., in the family Araceae. Anthurium comes from Greek words meaning “flower” and “tail”, referring to the spadix. The epithet veitchii honours the Veitch horticultural name, associated with 19th-century plant collecting and nursery introductions.

Anthurium veitchii develops long pendant leaves with deep horizontal pleats, especially when raised so mature blades can lengthen below the pot.

3300 Joules surge protected, sturdy and perfect for my office
Size: 12 Outlet
I purchased this power strip once a few months ago, and just purchased a second one, both for my office! I use the first one screwed at the bottom of my desk to plug in my Mac, 2 monitors, 2 Homepod, 1 external drive, my Echo Dot and a few other things. What I love about this is: 1. It has 12 slots that are perfectly spread out so that all of the power plugs, even the bulkier ones, fit nicely next to each other 2. There is a killer switch on each slot, which makes it globally safer if one of the outlet fries, or if I want to turn off some of the devices while I am away. It also includes a 3300 Joules surge protection, which is quite high comparer to similar power strips! Luckily, I never had to test its efficiency yet... I am pretty sure it won't replace a proper but much pricier UPS device, but it's better than nothing! 3. I love the fact that you can contain all of the wires on the sides, so that they don't dangle and don't get tangled. 4. This is very well built, it feels sturdy. I don't especially like the yellow color, but to be honest, it's hidden anyway! So I just purchased another one to plug in all of the devices that I have on the other side of my office: the eero modem, echo amp, Mac Mini, Nas Drive, printer and the Philips Hue hub and lights, and it all works like a charm, and doesn't catch dust as much as before. Most of the time, I'm very critical about what I purchase, but in this case, I think it's great and worth sharing ;-)

Works great! Buying more.
Size: 10 Outlet
Works great! Love the feature that allows you the ability to turn individual plugs off and on. The ability to run the chords through both ends for a clean look is a nice feature too. In the process of buying two more for the bedrooms.

Versatile, High-Quality Power Strip for Home Use
Size: 6 Outlet
Nice, Heavy-Duty Power Strip that can be used in many ways. I installed two of these strips in my garage and am pleased with the results. The individual switches for each plug is a plus if you need that amount of control. The strip mounted easily. The materials and quality appear to be excellent, telling me that the power strip will last many years.

Review of product 9-20-24
Size: 6 Outlet
Have yet to use the product however writing a placeholder reveiw for now. I spent nearly an hour or maybe more looking at sooooo many surge protector/power strips at least 100 on 8 different websites and let me tell you.. not sure on quality but OMG good luck on trying to find a high joules this one being 3300J that also has individual off and on switches and be heavy duty at this price point.. nothing to do with price point even they simply don't make them.. this is the legit only one.. the rest were low joules around 1200J did not have individual switches, or were not heavy duty. So If I wanted all of these things this was the product I had to choose from. That being said this does look like a decent quality item that will actually last me several years possibly my lifetime. I prefer to buy quality products that actually work as intended for a minimum of 10 years of quality service life regardless of what product I am buying. 10 years of quality service life is a reasonable standard for products that would potentially see daily use. the standard for those that might not know used to be 100 years of quality service which was most people's lifetime on all products regardless of what they were, however the whole. History lesson for those that don't know about manufacturing goods. Planned obsolescence is In economics and industrial design, planned obsolescence (also called built-in obsolescence or premature obsolescence) is the concept of policies planning or designing a product with an artificially limited useful life or a purposely frail design, so that it becomes obsolete after a certain predetermined period of time upon which it decrementally functions or suddenly ceases to function, or might be perceived as unfashionable. I like to call out products and companies that are not making quality goods and also causing world pollution, to further decrease from 100 years quality standard to 10 years and companies still have problems meeting my lowered standard of 10 years is insane to me that people let themself be used like this, and end up supporting these terribly manufactured goods. These low quality goods end up contributing to world pollution on a massive scale over the years.

Great for my workshop
Size: 10 Outlet
So I love these long strips. There's a few companies that make these but when I saw the individual power switches on this for each outlet, I thought this would be great for my workshop desk. Now I can know for sure that the power is off to a particular device and I don't have to go plugging in and unplugging to be safe. Just hit the switch. I also like that there are plenty of outlets so I don't have to unplug something just to plug something else in. I don't often use all the devices at the same time so this works out perfectly for me.
