Anthurium warocqueanum × waterburyanum

Long, narrow velvet leaves shape Anthurium warocqueanum × waterburyanum from the start. The blades develop a deep green surface, pale venation and a hanging growth direction that needs open space around and below the pot.

The cross combines the elongated foliage associated with Anthurium warocqueanum with the Ecuadorian Anthurium waterburyanum parent. Indoors, the plant should sit where new blades can open and harden without pressing against shelves, glass or nearby pots.

Long velvet leaf features

  • Elongated foliage: The leaves have a narrow, hanging shape with a soft velvet surface.
  • Pale vein pattern: Light veins run through the blade and become clearer as the leaf matures.
  • Downward leaf movement: The leaves need room below and around the pot as they lengthen.
  • Soft expanding blades: New leaves can crease or mark if they touch hard surfaces while unfurling.
  • Epiphytic root behaviour: Thick roots need a loose, airy substrate with steady but never stagnant moisture.
  • Space-sensitive growth: Open placement helps the long leaves expand without rubbing or folding against nearby surfaces.

Long-leaf growth and indoor placement

The leaf shape makes placement important. A shelf edge, plant stand or open bench can give the blades space to extend as they grow. If new leaves press against a wall or neighbouring plant, the soft velvet surface may crease before it has hardened.

The root zone should be open and oxygen-rich, similar to other velvet Anthurium with epiphytic tendencies. A heavy, compact mix keeps too much water around the roots and can weaken the crown before leaf symptoms become obvious.

Care for Anthurium warocqueanum × waterburyanum

  • Placement: Give the leaves physical space below the pot and avoid narrow shelves where new blades can press against hard surfaces.
  • Substrate: Choose a chunky Anthurium mix with bark, coarse mineral material and fibres that prevent the root zone from compacting.
  • Humidity: Higher humidity helps long new leaves unfurl without sticking, tearing or drying at the edges.
  • Water: Keep the substrate evenly moist but airy, with a slight dry-down at the top before the next watering.
  • Light: Use bright filtered light. Direct sun can scorch long velvet leaves and dry the tips.
  • Temperature: Keep the plant warm and protect it from cold drafts, cold water and cold wet substrate.
  • Feeding: Feed lightly during active growth and keep the root zone flushed if salts collect in the mix.

Problems with long velvet leaves

  • Creased new leaves: Long soft blades can crease if they rub against shelving, glass or other plants during expansion.
  • Brown tips and margins: Dry air, irregular moisture or root stress can brown the edges of the elongated leaves.
  • Loose crown: A wobbling base can point to root loss in a dense or overly wet mix.
  • Scorch marks: Strong sun can leave pale dry patches on the velvet surface.
  • Pests: Thrips, spider mites and mealybugs can hide along the midrib, petioles and undersides of long leaves.

Safety for Anthurium warocqueanum × waterburyanum

Anthurium is not safe for pets or children to chew. The plant contains calcium oxalate crystals, which can irritate the mouth, throat, skin and eyes after contact with sap or damaged tissue.

It works to divide a room, but it's not easy to use.
Color: Grey, Size: 6 Panel
This comes in multiple pieces and you have to build every single piece including the cloth that is between the two poles. There are plastic clips to hold the sections together, but they easily come off if you move the dividers the wrong way or try to reposition it. The only thing holding it up is rectangular shaped feet on the bottom and they are a pain when you hit it with your toes. It works if you need to divide a room, but its not pretty and there are far better options. It's cheaply made and has a habit of falling down if you are trying to use it in a straight or slightly angled line.

Great privacy room divider
Color: Black, Size: 6 Panel, Color: Black, Size: 6 Panel
I got this room divider for our game room that shares the garage/laundry room, to separate the spaces. I was happy that it was relatively easy to put together in less than an hour with nothing more than a screwdriver (provided) although I used a small handheld drill. The instructions were pretty straightforward and easy to understand as everything was labeled. I have 2 small grandkids at home running around while I put this together so my timeline to completion might be longer than others. It recommends 2 people to assemble, but I was able to complete alone in about 40 minutes total and as I said I used a small handheld drill, (although it does come with a small Philips screwdriver) which is the only tool you need for assembly. The first two panels took me about 20 minutes but the other 4 were simple repeats after the initial 2. After all 6 panels were assembled the plastic clips to piece them together were literally a "SNAP" to put on. The poles are made of metal and the panels are made of a very sturdy almost canvas like fabric. When held up to the light not a lot shined through so very good for privacy. You can snap them together in sections and have 2 separate panels of 3 or what ever configuration you want. They are easy to move and bend around furniture or other obstacles, also fold flat together if you need to put them aside for storage. This worked out just as we had planned, very easy to move around when needed and I am very happy with this product. I loved how simple it was to put together, easy instructions, and the durability and functionality of it.
