Anthurium ‘King of Spades’ (Anthurium ‘HU’)


Anthurium ‘King of Spades’, also known as Anthurium ‘HU’, is a dark velvet foliage Anthurium with broad leaves, a deep sinus and fine pale veining. Mature blades have a heavy, smooth outline and can appear dark green to almost black in suitable filtered light.

Large leaves rise on upright petioles from a compact base. As the blades increase in size, light support can steady the foliage and keep the petioles from pulling too far outward.



Leaf details on Anthurium ‘King of Spades’


  • Blade shape: Broad heart- to spade-shaped leaves with a deep sinus at the base.
  • Surface: Dark velvet texture that shows pale marks if handled roughly or kept wet.
  • Venation: Fine, subtle silver veins across the dark blade.
  • Margins: Smooth leaf edges give the mature blade a clean, wide outline.
  • Growth habit: Upright to semi-self-heading growth from a compact base.
  • Support option: Larger leaves may sit better with a discreet stake or low support.


Velvet leaves and support


As the weighty velvet leaves size up, the petioles can lean outward. A stable pot and low support keep the base secure while the leaves develop in their semi-upright shape.

Velvet leaves mark less easily when the plant grows in stable conditions. Warmth, humidity and an open substrate help new leaves unfold without tearing or sticking, while good airflow reduces the risk of marks on the leaf surface.



Care for Anthurium ‘King of Spades’


  • Light: Give bright filtered light. Direct sun can scorch velvet leaves, especially where glass intensifies heat.
  • Water: Let the upper part of the mix dry before watering again, then drain the pot fully.
  • Humidity: Higher humidity helps emerging leaves release cleanly from the cataphyll.
  • Air movement: Gentle airflow matters in humid conditions, especially around large velvet blades.
  • Temperature: Keep the plant warm and stable, away from cold windows and sudden night drops.
  • Substrate: Use bark, coco chips, coarse perlite, pumice or similar large particles around the roots.
  • Support: Add a small stake when leaf weight pulls the petioles outward.


Problems to watch for


  • Stuck or torn new leaves: Usually linked to dry air, low humidity swings or interrupted growth while the leaf is expanding.
  • Yellowing leaves: Check the roots if the pot has stayed wet or the mix has become compacted.
  • Brown tips: Can appear after dry spells, mineral buildup or very dry indoor air.
  • Leaning petioles: Larger leaves may need gentle support while the crown stays at normal planting depth.
  • Pest damage: Fine pale speckling, dull patches or distorted new leaves can point to mites or thrips.


Safety for Anthurium ‘King of Spades’


Keep Anthurium ‘King of Spades’ away from pets and children. The plant contains insoluble calcium oxalates, which can irritate the mouth, throat and stomach if chewed or swallowed.



Name etymology and background


Anthurium comes from Greek words meaning flower and tail, referring to the tail-like spadix of the inflorescence. ‘King of Spades’ and ‘HU’ are cultivated names for this dark velvet Anthurium bred by Haji Uli, with broad spade-shaped leaves, subtle pale veins and a semi-upright habit.

Solid dog toys HOWEVER...
Size: 5 Pack
Got these toys for our collie-retriever. He loves them and plays with them a lot and will even get them out in the middle of the night to play with them. Since there's no stuffing you can't throw them very far but they are good for tug-of-war and really soft. The one downside, while they techically are durable and hold up to rigorous chewing, they are not impervious as our little man finally disembowled Mr. Lion after a few months of playing with him. (Serated the lining with his teeth.) Still highly recommend.

Not very durable
Size: 5 Pack
They’re a great toy for the dog. However, if the dog is bigger, they are very easily destroyed.

Hold up to a heeler!
Size: 5 Pack
I have a red heeler who destroys chew toys in quickly. I was extremely happy with these ones. They are made of thicker material and even after he chews the squeaky piece out, I can play tug of war with them without them ripping apart. The price for the quality is the best I have found in a long time.

Great toy that stands up to tough dogs
Size: 5 Pack
When these toys first arrived and I opened the box I was disappointed. They seemed a bit flimsy and were not what I was expecting Boy was I wrong! My dog lived his new toy and it’s has not left his side. Best of all, it’s a tough little toy that can take a beating and keep going. My dog usually tears through his toys in a matter of hours, and I tried numerous toys over the years. I’ve tried Kevlar toys, toy that claim to be very sturdy, he always destroyed them in a matter of hours. This toy looks flimsy, but it’s soft and strong
