How to read these values
These care values are quick reference points for indoor growing. Use them as a guide, then adjust for pot size, substrate, temperature and how quickly the substrate dries.
For more detail, read the full product description or visit our Plant Care Guides.
- Light: level and approximate lux at leaf level.
- Watering: “% dry” shows how far the substrate should dry before watering again.
- Substrate: structure, drainage, moisture retention, base material and particle size.
- Temperature: “Ideal” shows the preferred range; “Avoid below” marks the cold-stress threshold.
- Humidity: target range; steady conditions usually matter more than exact numbers.
- Growth habit: how the plant grows, such as upright, climbing, trailing, clumping or rosette-forming.
- Support: whether a stake, pole or trellis is needed, optional or unnecessary.
- Growth speed: expected pace under suitable indoor conditions; use as a guide, not a promise.
- Max size indoors: realistic long-term indoor size under good conditions.
- Toxicity & safety: irritation, toxicity or physical hazards such as spines or bristles.
- Origin & habitat: native range, hybrid background or typical habitat where relevant.
- Outdoor growing: when a potted indoor plant can be placed outside and what outdoor protection it needs.
Anthurium 'Queen of Hearts'
Anthurium 'Queen of Hearts' is a compact foliage Anthurium with firm, leathery leaves that mature to very dark green, almost black. New leaves open in red, bronze or chocolate tones before darkening.
The leaves grow from a central crown on upright petioles. They can size up as the plant matures, especially with warmth, even moisture and an airy root zone.
What Anthurium 'Queen of Hearts' looks like
- Leaves: Broad, heart-shaped leaves with a firm, leathery surface.
- New growth: Red, bronze or chocolate-toned when fresh.
- Mature colour: Very dark green, almost black.
- Growth habit: Compact crown with upright petioles.
- Flowers: Mature plants may produce a typical Anthurium inflorescence, with a spadix and surrounding spathe.
Anthurium 'Queen of Hearts' care indoors
- Light: Bright filtered light is best. Protect the leaves from harsh direct sun.
- Watering: Let the top few centimetres of the substrate dry slightly before watering again, then drain the pot well.
- Substrate: A loose Anthurium mix with bark, coco chips, pumice or perlite keeps the root zone airy and lightly moist.
- Temperature: Keep it warm, ideally around 18–28 °C. Cold, wet substrate can damage the roots.
- Humidity: Higher humidity can help new leaves open without tearing or sticking. Good airflow helps prevent stale, damp conditions around the crown.
- Feeding: Use a diluted complete fertiliser while the plant is actively growing.
- Repotting: Repot when the roots fill the pot or the mix starts losing structure.
Problems to watch for
- Yellowing lower leaves: Often linked to a wet, compacted or cold root zone.
- Brown edges: Check for uneven watering, dry air or too much fertiliser.
- Distorted new growth: Look closely for thrips or mites on soft new leaves.
- Soft crown or stem base: Check the roots. If the mix is dense or sour-smelling, repot into a clean, airy mix.
- Marked fresh growth: Tender new leaves can mark from rubbing, rough handling or strong sun.
Safety
Keep Anthurium 'Queen of Hearts' away from pets and children. Like other Anthuriums, it contains calcium oxalate crystals that can irritate the mouth, throat, skin and eyes if plant material is eaten or sap gets on sensitive skin.
Botanical background and name
Anthurium 'Queen of Hearts' is a cultivated foliage Anthurium. It is often linked to Anthurium 'Ace of Spades' in cultivation, but its exact parentage is not confirmed. The genus Anthurium is native to tropical parts of the Americas, and the name Anthurium comes from Greek words meaning “flower” and “tail”, referring to the spadix.
