Anthurium King of Spades, commonly associated with Anthurium papillilaminum hybrids and dark-leaf collector lines, is a striking tropical aroid known for its deep, velvety foliage and dramatic heart-shaped leaves. Its rich coloration, prominent venation, and refined texture make it a standout choice for collectors seeking a bold and elegant Anthurium with strong visual presence.

Plant Characteristics

Anthurium King of Spades typically develops broad, heart-shaped leaves with a velvety surface and pronounced veins that create strong contrast across the foliage. New leaves may emerge in lighter or warmer tones before gradually hardening into deeper, darker shades.

The plant has an upright, self-heading growth habit and forms a compact but substantial rosette over time. Under stable growing conditions, mature leaves can become significantly larger, especially when the plant receives consistent humidity, proper nutrition, and bright filtered light. Final leaf size and coloration may vary naturally depending on genetics and growing environment.

Care Guide

Grow Anthurium King of Spades in bright, indirect light and protect the foliage from harsh direct sun. Water thoroughly when the upper layer of the growing medium begins to dry, while avoiding prolonged waterlogging.

Maintain moderate to high humidity, ideally around 60–80%, with good airflow. Temperatures between 65–85°F are generally suitable for healthy tropical growth.

Use a chunky, well-draining aroid mix containing materials such as orchid bark, coco chips, perlite, and a moisture-retentive component. A pot with excellent drainage is essential. Care level is generally considered moderate.
