Anthurium King of Spades, commonly known among collectors as Anthurium ‘King of Spades’, is a highly desirable velvet-leaf Anthurium admired for its dramatic dark foliage and bold heart-shaped leaves. Its deep green to nearly black appearance, contrasting venation, and luxurious texture make it a standout choice for collectors of rare tropical plants.

Plant Characteristics

This collectible Anthurium develops broad, cordate leaves with a velvety surface and prominent vein patterns. As the plant matures, the foliage can become significantly larger and darker under optimal growing conditions.

Anthurium King of Spades has a compact, upright growth habit rather than a climbing form. Medium-size plants are already well established and can gradually develop larger, more impressive leaves with consistent humidity, balanced nutrition, and proper light.

Care Guide

Provide bright, indirect light for healthy foliage development and strong coloration. Avoid intense direct sunlight, which may scorch the velvet leaves.

Water when the upper layer of the growing medium begins to dry, keeping the substrate lightly moist but never waterlogged. Maintain humidity around 60–80% with good airflow. Ideal temperatures are approximately 65–85°F, and the plant should be protected from cold drafts.

Use a loose, well-draining aroid mix containing orchid bark, perlite, coco chips, and other airy organic materials. Good drainage is essential to protect the root system. Anthurium King of Spades is generally considered a moderate-care tropical houseplant.

Why Collectors Love It

Collectors value Anthurium King of Spades for its dark velvet foliage, striking heart-shaped leaves, and dramatic venation. Its sophisticated appearance makes it especially attractive to enthusiasts building premium Anthurium or rare foliage collections.
