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 queremalense
Anthurium queremalense is a large Colombian Anthurium linked to Queremal in Valle del Cauca. It produces long, dark green leaves, strong venation and a broad mature crown.
The leaves are narrow to ovate-elliptic and carried on long, round green petioles that hold the blades away from the centre of the plant. Leaf shape, size and vein contrast can vary from plant to plant.
Long leaves and round petioles
- Plant size: Large-growing Anthurium that needs height and width as it matures.
- Leaf shape: Long, narrow to oval-elliptic blades that can become large on mature plants.
- Leaf surface: Dark green upper surface, with paler, slightly glossier undersides on mature plants.
- Venation: Strong main veins that stand out against the darker blade.
- Petioles: Long, round green petioles that carry the large leaves away from the crown.
Humidity, light and mature size
Large leaves need steady moisture, high humidity, airflow and a stable root zone while they expand.
Mature blades may reach about 120 cm in strong growing conditions. Indoors, leaf size depends on root space, light, humidity, feeding and the space each new leaf has while opening.
Care for a large-growing Anthurium
- Light: Give bright filtered light for larger leaves and stronger petioles.
- Watering: Keep the substrate evenly moist, with good drainage after each watering.
- Substrate: Use an open, moisture-retentive mix with bark, coco chips, pumice, perlite or coarse zeolite, plus a small fine organic fraction.
- Drainage: Large Anthurium roots need oxygen around them. An open mix gives the roots enough air.
- Humidity: High humidity helps large new leaves open with fewer dry edges and tears.
- Airflow: Gentle airflow around the crown helps large leaves dry after watering splashes.
- Temperature: Around 16–25 °C suits it well indoors.
- Pot choice: Use a stable container with strong drainage. Long petioles and large blades can make small pots top-heavy.
- Space: Give expanding leaves room away from glass, walls and neighbouring plants to reduce rubbing and tearing.
- Feeding: Feed lightly during active growth. Very concentrated fertiliser can damage roots and leaf edges.
- Repotting: Repot before the mix compacts or loses air spaces around the roots.
- Propagation: Propagate by division or stem sections from established plants. Keep divisions warm, humid and evenly moist while roots recover.
Large-leaf problems
- Crisp edges: Usually linked to low humidity, uneven watering, root stress or strong fertiliser.
- Limp yellowing leaves: Often points to cool, wet roots or dense substrate around the lower root zone.
- Small new leaves: Mature leaf size develops gradually and depends on root space, light, humidity and feeding.
- Torn or rubbed leaves: Large leaves need space while expanding. Contact with glass, walls or nearby plants can mark them.
- Top-heavy growth: Long petioles and large leaves can unbalance a light pot.
- Pests: Thrips, mites and mealybugs often hide around new leaves, petiole bases and leaf undersides.
Mature size and safe handling
Established plants can flower, while the long leaves and round petioles remain the main indoor growth features.
Plants sold as Anthurium queremalense should be kept away from pets and children. Ingested Anthurium tissue can irritate the mouth and throat.
