Anthurium ‘King of Spades’ (Anthurium ‘HU’)


Anthurium ‘King of Spades’, also known as Anthurium ‘HU’, is a dark velvet foliage Anthurium with broad leaves, a deep sinus and fine pale veining. Mature blades have a heavy, smooth outline and can appear dark green to almost black in suitable filtered light.

Large leaves rise on upright petioles from a compact base. As the blades increase in size, light support can steady the foliage and keep the petioles from pulling too far outward.



Leaf details on Anthurium ‘King of Spades’


  • Blade shape: Broad heart- to spade-shaped leaves with a deep sinus at the base.
  • Surface: Dark velvet texture that shows pale marks if handled roughly or kept wet.
  • Venation: Fine, subtle silver veins across the dark blade.
  • Margins: Smooth leaf edges give the mature blade a clean, wide outline.
  • Growth habit: Upright to semi-self-heading growth from a compact base.
  • Support option: Larger leaves may sit better with a discreet stake or low support.


Velvet leaves and support


As the weighty velvet leaves size up, the petioles can lean outward. A stable pot and low support keep the base secure while the leaves develop in their semi-upright shape.

Velvet leaves mark less easily when the plant grows in stable conditions. Warmth, humidity and an open substrate help new leaves unfold without tearing or sticking, while good airflow reduces the risk of marks on the leaf surface.



Care for Anthurium ‘King of Spades’


  • Light: Give bright filtered light. Direct sun can scorch velvet leaves, especially where glass intensifies heat.
  • Water: Let the upper part of the mix dry before watering again, then drain the pot fully.
  • Humidity: Higher humidity helps emerging leaves release cleanly from the cataphyll.
  • Air movement: Gentle airflow matters in humid conditions, especially around large velvet blades.
  • Temperature: Keep the plant warm and stable, away from cold windows and sudden night drops.
  • Substrate: Use bark, coco chips, coarse perlite, pumice or similar large particles around the roots.
  • Support: Add a small stake when leaf weight pulls the petioles outward.


Problems to watch for


  • Stuck or torn new leaves: Usually linked to dry air, low humidity swings or interrupted growth while the leaf is expanding.
  • Yellowing leaves: Check the roots if the pot has stayed wet or the mix has become compacted.
  • Brown tips: Can appear after dry spells, mineral buildup or very dry indoor air.
  • Leaning petioles: Larger leaves may need gentle support while the crown stays at normal planting depth.
  • Pest damage: Fine pale speckling, dull patches or distorted new leaves can point to mites or thrips.


Safety for Anthurium ‘King of Spades’


Keep Anthurium ‘King of Spades’ away from pets and children. The plant contains insoluble calcium oxalates, which can irritate the mouth, throat and stomach if chewed or swallowed.



Name etymology and background


Anthurium comes from Greek words meaning flower and tail, referring to the tail-like spadix of the inflorescence. ‘King of Spades’ and ‘HU’ are cultivated names for this dark velvet Anthurium bred by Haji Uli, with broad spade-shaped leaves, subtle pale veins and a semi-upright habit.

The ONLY Bones/Chews Dog-Approved in Our House!
Flavor Name: Original Jerky, Size: X-Large
We have 2 purebred pitbulls, both adult males who weigh between 75-80 pounds. We bought a huge assortment of bones, treats, and chews when we first got our boys (they're rescues, and we got them at the same time). They strongly favored these Marrowchews, even over other, imitation products of different brands. We actually didn't know they had marrow INSIDE the bones for quite some time, and as soon as we realized that, we understood why our dogs loved them so much! The way the marrow is embedded in the bone, but a ways in from either end, is really clever. The dogs can surely smell it long before they can taste it, and it seems to keep them really interested and motivated at first. Then, they get to the actual marrow, and they are working on these bones non-stop until it's completely gone. The way they are made is also really unique; they sort of 'splinter' as they get chewed, and it actually helps with doggie dental care, cleaning the teeth and massaging the gums. There is no mess with these bones, no pieces flaking or chunking off, anything like that. They are also completely odor-free. With other bones/chews, they'll start them, but lose interest really quickly, and never so much as look at those again. These specific Marrowchews are truly the ONLY ones that keep our dogs interested, and for a significant amount of time, too. They'll work on the XL sizes daily throughout the day for a total of 1-2 hours, and they last a couple of months, easily. And keep in mind, these are pretty aggressive chewers! HIGHLY recommend these, and the price on Amazon is the best anywhere!

Durable and fun
Flavor Name: Beef, Size: Medium/Large
I have two dogs and I only bought one bone over a month ago. They’ve both been chewing on it and it’s held up really well. I wouldn’t say they’re aggressive chewers, but they do like chewing. They’re still picking it up and using it, so they’re definitely not bored with it. As for me, it’s been a pretty great buy.

Tough Chew!
Flavor Name: Original Jerky, Size: Medium
Sporn is a very tough chew. We have a 22pound Beagle 1 year old. She spend little time working on the Hard plastic that encases the marrow. Now I don't doubt there are some dogs that would chew this mindlessly for the small marrow treat. It is not for my pup! She needs more play to keep at it. A TOUGH CHEW would be better slightly less thick and more marrow inside. I attached a string and had her whirly birding around chasing this bone but once we let go she has a 30 second interest. Not for every dog maybe for the big guys 100 lb brutus !

Dogs are enjoying it!
Flavor Name: Beef, Size: Medium/Large
I just got this bone today but so far my dogs love it. They have been playing with it and alternating who’s chewing on it. My 8 month old got the blue rubber piece off in about 10 minutes, so if that’s the primary factor for purchasing, note that.

lasted 3 days
Flavor Name: Original Jerky, Size: Medium
I have a 10 m.o. Aussie who is in chronic chew stage. I was hoping that this bone would last longer than Benebone. Watching pup chew her little heart out, I noticed she was tearing off little pieces of the plastic bone and swallowing them. Threw out. Wish I'd returned. NOT RECOMMENDED FOR SUPER CHEWERS
