Anthurium veitchii

Anthurium veitchii grows long pleated leaves that need vertical space as they develop. This Colombian epiphytic Anthurium forms pendant blades with deep horizontal corrugation.

Long petioles carry the leaves out from the centre before the blades descend. A raised position gives the mature leaves room to hang.

Pendant leaves and pleating

  • Long, narrow leaves that hang downward with age
  • Deep horizontal corrugation
  • Crown-forming epiphytic growth
  • Long petioles that hold leaves away from the crown before they drop
  • Mature plants need vertical clearance
  • Fresh leaves are soft and easy to mark

Anthurium veitchii origin

Anthurium veitchii is native to Colombia, especially Chocó and Antioquia, where it grows as an epiphytic subshrub in wet tropical conditions. Its roots need warmth, moisture and an airy mix.

When it flowers, it produces the usual Anthurium spathe and spadix. Mature plants are easy to recognise by their long pleated leaves.

Anthurium veitchii care

  • Light: Bright filtered light supports longer leaves and clearer pleating. Weak light often gives shorter, narrower growth.
  • Watering: Water when the upper substrate begins to dry. Keep the mix lightly moist and let excess water drain fully.
  • Substrate: A coarse aroid mix with bark, coarse fibre and pumice or perlite gives the roots the open spaces they need.
  • Placement: A shelf edge, raised pot or plant stand lets the leaves descend naturally.
  • Temperature: Warm, even conditions support the roots while long leaves are forming.
  • Humidity: Around 60–80% humidity helps new leaves expand and pleat evenly.
  • Feeding: Use light regular feeding during active growth.
  • Repotting: Repot when roots fill the container or the mix has softened. Keep the crown above the mix.
  • Handling: Keep fresh leaves away from walls, glass and rough surfaces while they expand.
  • Propagation: Divide only when a mature plant has separate growth points and strong roots.

Common issues on Anthurium veitchii

  • Uneven pleating: Low humidity or limited space while the leaf unfurls can disturb the pleats.
  • Brown tips: Dry air, irregular watering or strong fertiliser can lead to brown tips.
  • Yellow older leaves: Older leaves can yellow faster if roots stay too wet or the mix has become compact.
  • Short narrow leaves: Short, narrow leaves often mean the plant needs brighter filtered light or stronger roots.
  • Leaf cracking: Give more clearance and keep the plant steady while leaves are expanding.
  • Root decline: Dense wet mix, cool roots and poor drainage are common causes.

Vertical clearance

A raised position lets the leaves lengthen naturally instead of folding against the pot, shelf or furniture.

Safe placement

Keep Anthurium veitchii away from pets and children. The plant contains insoluble calcium oxalate crystals, which can cause mouth and throat irritation if plant material is eaten. Clean your hands after handling cut, broken or damaged tissue.

Name origin

The epithet veitchii honours the Veitch nursery name, linked with 19th-century plant introductions. Anthurium refers to the tail-like spadix.

Great replacement kit
Called around for quotes to get them replaced and everyone was quoting over $2k just for bellows. Figured I’d give it a try. The rubber is good quality and feels soft. Time will tell but this is an easy job if you’re mechanically inclined. Make sure you replace the plastic water pickup fitting while you’re at it. Found mine to be cracked on disassembly and had to wait for a new one. Should be a easy 3-4 hour job if your not doing the bearing and only doing bellows
