Anthurium 'Queen of Hearts'

Anthurium 'Queen of Hearts' is a cultivated foliage Anthurium with dark, velvety, heart-shaped leaves and warm-toned new growth. Fresh leaves often emerge in red, bronze or burgundy shades, then harden into deeper green.

The plant grows from a compact crown, holding each leaf on a firm petiole so different colour stages can be visible at once. The colour shift is part of the plant’s normal growth cycle.

Anthurium 'Queen of Hearts' key traits

• Growth habit: Compact cultivated Anthurium with upright petiole-held leaves.
• New growth: Young leaves open in red to bronze tones before darkening.
• Leaf shape: Broad heart-shaped blades with a full, rounded outline.

Anthurium 'Queen of Hearts' indoor care

• Light: Provide bright filtered light and protect soft or pale foliage from harsh midday sun.
• Watering: Water when the upper part of the substrate has started to dry, then drain thoroughly.
• Substrate: Use a loose Anthurium mix with bark, coco chips, pumice or perlite so roots receive moisture and oxygen.
• Temperature: Keep warm, ideally around 18–28 °C, and protect from cold wet substrate.
• Humidity: Moderate to high humidity helps new leaves expand cleanly; pair humidity with gentle airflow.
• Feeding: Feed lightly during active growth with a diluted complete fertiliser.
• Repotting: Repot when roots fill the pot or the mix begins to collapse.
• Pot size: Keep the root ball slightly snug so the mix dries evenly between waterings.

Anthurium 'Queen of Hearts' issues to check

• Yellowing lower leaves: Check for compacted substrate, cool roots or a pot staying wet for too long.
• Brown edges: Review humidity, watering gaps and fertiliser strength.
• Distorted new growth: Inspect young leaves for thrips or mites and stabilise humidity.
• Soft stems or crown: Check root health and improve drainage immediately.
