Anthurium papillilaminum × ‘Ace of Spades’
Deep green velvet leaves give Anthurium papillilaminum × ‘Ace of Spades’ its dark, high-contrast look. The broad blades harden with a dense matte surface, while pale veins stand out clearly across the foliage.
This cross involves the Panamanian species Anthurium papillilaminum and the cultivated Anthurium ‘Ace of Spades’. The same plant may also appear under the alternate trade name ‘Raven’s Heart’.
Dark velvet foliage traits
- Dark velvet foliage: The leaves mature to a deep green tone with a soft, matte surface.
- Broad leaf outline: The blades develop a heart-shaped form with a defined central vein.
- Light vein contrast: Pale veins stand out clearly against the darker leaf surface.
- Soft expanding leaves: New growth is tender and can mark easily while the blade is still unfurling.
- Compact Anthurium base: The plant grows from a central crown and keeps most of its visual weight close to the pot.
- Air-loving roots: Thick roots need a loose mix with oxygen around the root zone.
Leaf texture and indoor growth
New leaves emerge soft and flexible, then become darker and firmer as they mature. A little space around the crown helps the leaves open without rubbing against shelves, glass or other plants.
The plant grows as a potted Anthurium with a central crown, petioles and thick roots. A well-drained pot, open substrate and stable humidity around new leaves keep the crown steady and the root zone aerated.
Indoor care for Anthurium papillilaminum × ‘Ace of Spades’
- Humidity: Higher humidity helps the soft new leaves unfurl with fewer creases and torn edges.
- Light: Keep it in bright filtered light. Direct sun can scorch the dark velvet surface and dry the margins.
- Water: Water thoroughly, then let the upper part of the mix begin to dry before the next watering.
- Substrate: Use an open Anthurium mix with bark, coarse mineral material and fibres that hold light moisture.
- Leaf care: Handle new leaves carefully. The surface can show pressure marks before the blade has fully hardened.
- Temperature: Keep conditions warm and stable, ideally above 18 °C, with no cold wet pot after watering.
- Feeding: Apply diluted fertiliser during active growth and reduce feeding when the plant is resting or growing slowly.
Troubleshooting dark velvet leaves
- Marked new leaves: Soft expanding blades can crease, tear or spot if they press against nearby surfaces.
- Dry brown edges: Low humidity, irregular watering or root stress can brown the margins.
- Yellow lower leaves: Check the root zone for dense wet mix, especially if the crown feels loose.
- Faded or scorched patches: Strong direct light can damage the velvet surface quickly.
- Pests: Thrips and spider mites can leave silvery marks, speckling or distorted new growth on velvet leaves.
Safety for Anthurium papillilaminum × ‘Ace of Spades’
Keep this plant away from pets and children that may chew leaves or stems. Anthurium contains calcium oxalate crystals, which can irritate the mouth, skin and eyes.

Tough STINKY ball
Size: Large, Color: Red
This ball is the only one I've found that my dog can not destroy in seconds. He can chew on it for a few weeks before he works a hole in it. That's the good part. The bad side is the horrible smell! It doesn't seem to bother him, but it is horrible to my nose. It is so awful that I tried soaking it and dish soap and vinegar water overnight to see if I could make it go away. It was a little bit better but still stunk. Anybody got other suggestions on what could make the smell go away?

A good toy for chewers!!
Size: Large, Color: Blue
My dog loves this ball! The best part is that he hasn't destroyed it yet. He's a real chewer and has destroyed several toys since I got him about 6 months ago. The ball is very solid and a the squeak is not annoying. A great toy

My dog loves it, holds up well
Size: Large, Color: Blue
My German Shepherd absolutely loves this ball! He is a pretty aggressive chewer and it has held up really well, not indestructible but it lasts. We currently have three and he always has one in his mouth.

Lasted a year with a Great Dane
Size: Large, Color: Red, Size: Large, Color: Red
It lasted an entire year as my Great Dane’s favorite squeaky ball. The only reason it’s failing is because the squeaker no longer works great.

Not indestructible but pretty darn tuff for sure!
Size: Large, Color: Blue
I would have maybe given a better rating if they hadn’t lied about it being indestructible and recommended it for my dogs size range! It didn’t last the first day. However my dog may be a bit above average when it comes to his relationship with the balls! It’s an issue and he should probably be in a 12 step program of some kind. But we all have our vices right and his is balls. All of them he needs em and he never stops joining for them and the stronger they are the more he’s driven to defeat it! So now that you have full disclosure from me. The ball is still in his box and it’s still round and mostly intact and that’s after several months! The part that didn’t last the first day was the squeaker! Poor little dude! If he would have just stayed quite it. But he didn’t and Bo dog knew he was in there! And made short work of him. Other than that. The ball pretty dang tough! But it’s not indestructible is it a big deal. Well in this world of way to many choices and then having to find the few that will tell you honestly what your getting and are not over stating their product! Just to get your money. And couldn’t care less about the quality! It sucks that we have to navigate all the crap to find the few decent things available. So it most certainly does matter! And I say that for their benefit the most hopefully! Because people are craving and constantly looking for a company that just makes the effort to put out the best they can. And tell you the honest description of what they have. That stands behind their work and puts more effort into quality then they do into profit. With the faith that the quality and integrity in their company will end up bring them the profits they can be proud of and know that they earned! Honestly! Is this company one of those! I don’t know? It’s not clear and in their defense I never reported the sneaky man’s demise on day one! I expected that. But indestructible is a descriptive word that has a very specific meaning. And when it’s used in a manner that it was! Then you’ve set yourself up to fail as there are very few things that meet that description! And I know I’m picking hairs here. But it’s words that get used like that wich makes one appear to have not met the standard they wanted to! And maybe you don’t realize its impact on your overall until it’s far down the road! Can it be said better. Sure . Always room for improvement. But I would certainly remove the claim that’s just unreasonable to expect. If I wanted to use the benifit the does have to offer perhaps I would have said this ball is the closest thing to indestructible we’ve made so far. That’s statement tell me that they are not claiming it is but that it’s pretty tough! And it with out exact words tells you these guys must take honesty seriously or they wouldn’t have chosen to claim the accurate step below. And that lets me know that they hold themselves to a standard that they obviously respect their customers and they don’t take them for granted that’s integrity right there and there’s just not enough of it o. This world today! Seems to me that there are a few that are really close to it though. Maybe so close it’s worth the time to just go ahead and say it. If my gut feeling is right then it’s absolutely worth the time! Do I recommend the item absolutely it’s as tough as nails! And if you hate the squeaky part. Then don’t worry it won’t last long if your dogs like mine. Or you can take the little dude out when the dogs sleeping! And I’m going to add a star because when I look at it in the wider view I’ve been a bit harder then is justified I believe. Their. Our lives today are not as good as they once were and should be! Because of our bad habit of not holding ourselves to the standards we are capable of and rather settling for what’s out there at the time. Because of many reasons right. What’s the point. Or it’s not going to change a thing. Or that as good as it needs to be. Don’t want to seem so picky and all the justification we inject in the place of our potential. That’s had a vey negative effect across the board! And we’re losing so much more then quality dog toys as a result. When we let or standards drop due to whatever reasons as a civilization then are standards drop. And that’s all you should need to know. To understand where that leads! And we only do ourselves the disservice and loss that comes from those choices. So look around and don’t hesitate to. All out that when you see it. Just try and come from a place that’s not to tear things down but to remind them of what they are really capable of! And how much we all need to hold ourselves to the highest standard we are capable of! And stop justifying excepting less! And then we see the results from that rather than the other.
