About

Anthurium warocqueanum, widely known as the 'Queen Anthurium', is one of the most iconic and highly coveted species in the aroid hobby. Native to the extremely humid rainforests of Colombia, it produces massive, elongated, velvet-textured leaves that can grow up to 1.2 meters long. The leaves are dark green to almost black, contrasted by striking silvery-white primary veins. Due to its thin, velvety leaves, it requires high humidity and careful moisture levels, but remains a crown jewel for collectors.

How prices are calculated: The AA Price uses verified eBay UK completed auction data — we take the trimmed mean (removing the top and bottom 20% of prices) to produce a fair-value guide that excludes outlier sales. When recent auction data is unavailable, the AA Price falls back to the current UK retail average from tracked stockists. Retail prices are scraped from active UK plant shop listings and reflect what you would pay buying directly from a retailer today. All prices are in GBP and updated automatically.
