Anthurium Queen of Hearts

Anthurium “Queen of Hearts”

The Anthurium Queen of Hearts is living proof that beauty can be born from a mistake. Originally discovered at Silver Krome Gardens in Homestead, Florida, this rare hybrid was the unexpected result of a tissue-culture mishap — a single plant that looked unlike any other in the tray. Instead of discarding it, Bill and his team nurtured the anomaly, and the Queen of Hearts emerged — regal, bold, and unforgettable.

Her broad, velvety leaves form perfect hearts, deepening in color and luster as they mature. Some display subtle texture and sheen that make them appear almost sculpted. Under the right light, they shimmer with a soft, satin finish that gives her the undeniable presence of a true queen.

   Simple Care

• Light: Medium to bright, indirect light — avoid harsh direct sun.
• Water: Keep soil lightly moist; allow the top inch to dry between waterings.
• Humidity: Thrives in higher humidity (60–80%) — mist or use a humidifier for best results.
• Temperature: Warm and consistent (68–85°F); avoid cold drafts.
• Soil: Use a chunky, well-aerated mix (bark, perlite, and moss) to support airflow around roots.
