Anthurium ‘King of Spades’ is a highly collectible velvet-leaf Anthurium admired for its dramatic, dark foliage and bold heart-shaped leaves. Mature specimens develop an impressive presence, making this tropical aroid especially appealing to collectors searching for statement-sized Anthuriums with deep coloration and prominent venation.

Plant Characteristics

Anthurium King of Spades produces broad, cordate to heart-shaped leaves with a rich, velvety surface and contrasting veins that become increasingly striking as the foliage matures. New leaves may emerge in lighter bronze or green tones before gradually hardening into darker shades.

This Anthurium has a compact, self-heading growth habit rather than a climbing habit. Under optimal growing conditions, mature leaves can become substantially larger than juvenile foliage, creating a bold and architectural appearance. Mature size varies depending on genetics, growing environment, nutrition, and overall care.

Care Guide

Provide bright, indirect light to maintain healthy growth and strong leaf coloration. Avoid prolonged direct midday sunlight, which may scorch the velvet foliage.

Water thoroughly when the upper layer of the growing medium begins to dry, while keeping the root zone lightly moist but never waterlogged. Maintain humidity around 60–80% with consistent air circulation.

Anthurium King of Spades prefers warm temperatures between approximately 65–85°F. Use a loose, airy, fast-draining aroid mix containing ingredients such as orchid bark, coco chips, perlite, pumice, and a small amount of moisture-retentive material. Good drainage and airflow around the roots are essential. Care level is generally considered moderate.

Why Collectors Love It

Collectors love Anthurium King of Spades for its combination of dark velvet foliage, dramatic heart-shaped leaves, and striking venation. Mature plants can become impressive centerpiece specimens and are especially desirable among velvet Anthurium and rare aroid collectors.
