Anthurium ‘Darkie’ is a striking tropical houseplant admired for its dramatic, deep-toned foliage and compact growth habit. This variety is especially valued for its dark green to almost black leaves, which develop a rich velvety sheen as they mature. The foliage is often slightly elongated and heart-shaped, with prominent veins that stand out against the darker leaf surface, giving the plant an elegant and sophisticated appearance.

Unlike larger Anthurium varieties, Anthurium ‘Darkie’ remains relatively compact, making it ideal for shelves, desks, terrariums, or smaller indoor spaces. Its moody colouring makes it particularly popular in darker-themed houseplant collections and pairs beautifully with variegated or lighter foliage plants for contrast.

As the plant matures, new leaves often emerge with a bronze or reddish tint before gradually darkening to their mature deep green-black colour. Under the right conditions, Anthurium ‘Darkie’ may also produce small, understated flowers typical of Anthuriums, consisting of a spadix and spathe, although it is mainly grown for its foliage rather than its blooms.

This variety thrives indoors where it enjoys warm temperatures, good humidity, and bright but indirect light. With the correct care, Anthurium ‘Darkie’ is a rewarding and relatively easy plant to grow, producing a steady flush of beautifully dark leaves throughout the year.

Key Features

  • Deep green to near-black foliage with a velvety finish
  • Compact, manageable growth habit
  • New leaves often emerge bronze or reddish before darkening
  • Ideal for indoor plant collections and smaller spaces
  • Suited to warm, humid indoor environments
  • Grown primarily for its dramatic foliage rather than flowers

Anthurium ‘Darkie’ Care Guide

Light

Anthurium ‘Darkie’ grows best in bright, indirect light. A position near an east or north-facing window is ideal, or a few feet back from a brighter south or west-facing window.

Avoid direct sunlight, particularly during the middle of the day, as this can scorch the dark leaves and cause brown patches or fading. Too little light can result in slower growth and smaller, less dramatic leaves.

Watering

Allow the top 2–3 cm of compost to dry out before watering again. Anthurium ‘Darkie’ prefers lightly moist soil but does not like sitting in soggy conditions.

Water thoroughly when needed, allowing excess water to drain away fully. During spring and summer, this may mean watering around once a week, while in winter it will usually need less frequent watering.

Overwatering is one of the most common causes of problems and can lead to yellow leaves and root rot.

Humidity

This Anthurium enjoys moderate to high humidity and performs best with humidity levels above 60%.

If your home is dry, especially during winter when heating is on, consider:

  • Using a humidifier
  • Placing the plant near other houseplants
  • Standing the pot on a tray of pebbles and water

Low humidity can cause brown, crispy edges on the leaves and may stop new leaves from developing properly.

Temperature

Keep Anthurium ‘Darkie’ in temperatures between 18–27°C.

Avoid exposing it to temperatures below 15°C, cold draughts, or sudden temperature changes. Keep the plant away from open windows in winter and from radiators or heaters that can dry the foliage.

Soil

A loose, airy, free-draining houseplant mix is best. Anthurium ‘Darkie’ benefits from a chunky substrate that allows plenty of airflow around the roots.

A good mix could include:

  • Houseplant compost or coco coir
  • Orchid bark
  • Perlite or pumice
  • A little activated charcoal or sphagnum moss

Dense, heavy compost that stays wet for too long should be avoided.

Feeding

Feed every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer with a balanced liquid houseplant fertiliser diluted to half strength.

Do not overfeed, as too much fertiliser can damage the roots and cause brown tips. Feeding is usually unnecessary during autumn and winter when growth slows down.

Repotting

Repot every 1–2 years or when the plant becomes rootbound. Choose a pot only slightly larger than the previous one, as Anthuriums prefer to be somewhat snug in their containers.

The best time to repot is in spring or early summer when the plant is actively growing.

Common Problems

  • Yellow leaves: Usually caused by overwatering or poor drainage
  • Brown leaf edges: Often due to low humidity or inconsistent watering
  • Pale or leggy growth: The plant may need more bright, indirect light
  • Crispy patches on leaves: Usually caused by direct sun exposure
  • Drooping leaves: Can indicate either underwatering or root problems from overwatering

Pet Safety

Anthurium ‘Darkie’ is toxic if ingested and should be kept away from pets and small children. Like other Anthuriums, it contains calcium oxalate crystals which can cause irritation if chewed.

With the right combination of warmth, humidity, and indirect light, Anthurium ‘Darkie’ will reward you with a continual display of rich, dramatic foliage and become a standout plant in any indoor collection.

Shoe laces aren't great.
Size: 3 Big Kid, Color: Black White
I bought these RUNSIDE kids tennis shoes for everyday wear and school, and overall they’re lightweight, breathable, and comfortable for active use. My child liked how easy they were to put on, and they worked well for running and general play. The shoes themselves feel flexible and pretty comfortable for the price point. The upper material is breathable, which helps during sports or warmer weather, and they don’t feel heavy on the feet. However, the main issue is the original shoelaces. They constantly came untied no matter how they were tied, which became frustrating pretty quickly during the day. We ended up replacing them with better-quality laces, and that solved the problem. Pros: * Lightweight and comfortable for kids * Breathable material works well for active use * Easy for everyday wear and school * Good fit for the price Cons: * Original shoelaces do not stay tied well * Laces needed to be replaced for practical use Overall, these are solid budget-friendly kids’ sneakers that work well once the laces are swapped out. The shoe itself is comfortable and functional, but the included laces are definitely a weak point.

Bought these for my three-year-old son, they fit great and they are easy for him to slide on himself. The laces seem to come untied a lot, but otherwise we love them!

Good, but not great! Insert kept falling out.
Size: 3 Big Kid, Color: Black
I bought these for my 8 year old and the insert was loose and had to be played with multiple times before I could get it to stay in place. I eventually had to place a double sided sticky pad to get the insert to stay.
