Anthurium Warocqueanum – Plant Out of the Ordinary

If you have a warm plant room where the air can be kept full of moisture, the velvet-leaved beauty, Anthurium Warocqueanum, can be yours. Growing it is not easy. You’ll need to provide a warm (about 65°) humid atmosphere, a potting mixture of osmunda fiber, sphagnum moss and sand, plenty of moisture in spring and summer with less amounts in winter, and a little fertilizer each spring. That should produce a spectacularly beautiful foliage plant, with velvety green leaves, a foot or more long under good culture, veined conspicuously with white.
