Anthurium 'Queen of Hearts' Care Guide 🌿

The Anthurium Queen of Hearts is a rare velvet-leaf anthurium prized for its dark, heart-shaped foliage and striking veins. It thrives when conditions mimic a tropical rainforest.

☀️ Light

• Bright, indirect light is best.

• Avoid direct afternoon sun, which can scorch the leaves.

• Near an east-facing window or a few feet from a south-facing window works well.

💧 Water

• Water when the top 1-2 inches of the growing mix begin to dry.

• Keep the medium slightly moist but never soggy.

• Empty any water that collects in a saucer.

💨 Humidity

• Prefers 60-70% humidity or higher.

• Use a humidifier, pebble tray, or grow it near other tropical plants.

🌡️ Temperature

• Ideal range: 65°F-80°F (18°C-27°C).

• Keep away from cold drafts, air vents, and sudden temperature changes.

🪴 Soil

Use a chunky, well-draining aroid mix:

• Orchid bark

• Perlite

• Potting mix

• Coco coir or peat moss

Good airflow around the roots is very important.

🌱 Fertilizer

• Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer at half strength every 4-6 weeks during spring and summer.

• Reduce feeding during fall and winter.
