Anthurium ‘Ace of Spades’


Thick velvet leaves give Anthurium ‘Ace of Spades’ its dark, spade-shaped outline, with pale metallic veins running through the surface. New growth can open with burgundy tones before hardening to deep green to near-black shades.

The plant grows as an upright clump, with firm petioles holding the foliage above the pot. This slower Anthurium responds best to steady warmth, filtered light and an airy root zone once it has settled.



Foliage features of Anthurium ‘Ace of Spades’


  • Leaf shape: Broad spade-shaped blades with a defined base and a tapered tip.
  • Surface texture: Velvety foliage that can show marks if leaves stay wet or rub against nearby plants.
  • Colour change: New leaves can flush burgundy before hardening to a darker mature green.
  • Venation: Pale metallic to silvery veins become clearer as the leaf expands.
  • Growth habit: Upright clumping growth from a compact base.
  • Root behaviour: Fleshy Anthurium roots need oxygen around them and decline quickly in dense, wet soil.


Growth and leaf development


This is a velvet foliage Anthurium with weighty leaves and a relatively compact base. New leaves are soft when they emerge, then firm up as the surface darkens and the veins become more defined. A settled position helps new leaves expand with fewer marks, especially while they are still soft.

A potting mix with bark, coco chips, coarse perlite or pumice gives the roots space to breathe. The plant should sit firmly in the pot, while the mix remains open enough for water to drain and air to reach the root system.



Care for Anthurium ‘Ace of Spades’


  • Light: Place it in bright filtered light. Direct midday sun can mark velvet foliage, while very low light produces slower, weaker growth.
  • Water: Let the upper part of the mix dry before watering again. The root ball should not stay wet from top to bottom for long periods.
  • Humidity: Higher humidity helps new leaves expand more evenly, especially while the blade is still soft.
  • Airflow: Humidity works best with gentle air movement, because still damp air can leave velvet leaves marked or spotted.
  • Temperature: Keep it warm and stable, away from cold windowsills, winter drafts and sudden temperature drops.
  • Substrate: Use a chunky Anthurium or aroid mix with large particles for drainage and root aeration.
  • Feeding: Feed lightly during active growth. Flush the mix occasionally if mineral residue builds up from fertiliser or hard water.


Common issues with Anthurium ‘Ace of Spades’


  • Brown patches on velvet leaves: Often linked to direct sun, water sitting on the leaf surface, low humidity or mechanical damage.
  • Yellowing lower leaves: Check whether the mix is staying wet too long or has compacted around the roots.
  • Stuck new leaves: Dry air or unstable warmth can make emerging leaves unfold unevenly.
  • Soft roots or sour-smelling mix: The substrate is too wet or too dense and should be checked before more foliage declines.
  • Fine speckling or dull patches: Inspect the undersides and petioles for spider mites or thrips, especially in warm dry rooms.


Safety for Anthurium ‘Ace of Spades’


Anthuriums contain insoluble calcium oxalates. Keep Anthurium ‘Ace of Spades’ away from pets and children who may chew leaves or stems, as ingestion can irritate the mouth, throat and stomach.



Name etymology and background


The genus name Anthurium comes from the Greek words anthos, meaning flower, and oura, meaning tail, referring to the tail-like spadix. The cultivated name ‘Ace of Spades’ is used for this dark velvet selection with spade-shaped leaves, burgundy new growth and compact upright habit.

Protection with days of white residue
Style: SPF 50 Roll On, Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Mineral sunscreens have yet to master blending in and this is no different. If you're thinking of hitting the beach with your sexy bum protected it'd better be a ghost beach because you'll look like you've been dipped in white paint. Oh, and it doesn't wash off, so be prepared to look like Casper for days to come. It rolls on fine if you shake it well first and it does protect.

Amazing!
Size: 2.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This sunscreen is amazing! I love that it goes on blue and then turns clear. It’s helping my kids learn to put it on themselves. It also stays on good and we haven’t had any sunburns even on the beach.

Great product
Size: 2.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
We really love the roll-on application of the sunscreen. It's great quality and ease for use is perfect for both parents and kids to use. It does require some extra rubbing in after rolled on, but it's perfect in order to see any areas that may or may not have been missed. I recommend and will purchase again.

Great sunscreen!
Size: 2.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
My kids used to hate putting sunscreen on, but with this one they do it without complaining. The light green color makes it easy to see, and the roll-on design is super simple for kids to use. They actually enjoy it. It feels like they’re painting their face and body, which makes it fun. The only downside is that it leaks a little.

Good protection, easy to tell where it was applied
Size: 2.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Putting sunscreen on kids can be a struggle. This product does many things well: easy to put on, no stinging eyes or coughing like there is with spray, provides good coverage, lasts a long time while sweating, and blocks sun well. But the really cool part is it goes on blue initially (dries clear/slightly white). This is helpful when my little one puts on his own sunscreen because it makes it easier to see the spots he missed (usually many) and helps ensure he fills in the gaps. Also great for the adults - I used it on vacation when I ran out of mine and it worked very well (great if you have arm hair too - not as sticky as many others)
