Description

Anthurium regale is one of the most striking and sought-after species in the aroid world, prized for its enormous, velvety leaves and bold white veining. Native to the rainforests of Peru, this tropical beauty can produce foliage well over 1 metre long under ideal conditions. Each leaf has a rich, deep green surface with pronounced texture, resembling natural artwork. Its regal appearance makes it a true statement plant for collectors and enthusiasts alike.

Care Plan

Light
Bright, indirect light is best. Avoid direct sun, which can scorch the delicate leaf surface. Low light will stunt growth and reduce leaf size.

Water
Water when the top few centimetres of the potting mix feel dry. Anthurium regale prefers consistent moisture but must never sit in soggy soil. Reduce watering frequency in cooler months.

Humidity
High humidity (above 70%) is essential for optimal growth and maintaining large, healthy leaves. Use a humidifier or pebble tray if indoor humidity is low.

Temperature
Keep in warm conditions between 18–27°C. Avoid cold draughts and temperatures below 15°C.

Soil
Use a very chunky, airy, and free-draining mix. A good base is:

• 40% orchid bark

• 25% perlite

• 20% coco coir or peat

• 10% horticultural charcoal

• 5% worm castings or a light organic compost

Fertiliser
Feed monthly during the growing season (spring to early autumn) with a balanced, diluted liquid fertiliser or aroids-specific blend. Avoid overfeeding.

Repotting
Repot every 1–2 years, or when roots begin to outgrow the pot. Choose a pot only slightly larger to avoid waterlogging.
