Anthurium 'Red Velvet' Morphology
About Anthurium 'Red Velvet'
Anthurium 'Red Velvet' combines the scale and bold pale venation of Anthurium regale with the dense, near-black velvet and reddish petiole colouring of Anthurium dressleri. The result is a large-leaved hybrid with an open, deep sinus inherited from regale, carrying pale primary veins across a much darker, more heavily textured blade than regale alone ever produces. New growth often emerges with a distinct reddish-burgundy flush before settling into deep green, which is where the trade name comes from. A sibling clone from the same original cross, generally a shade darker, circulates under the name 'Voodoo Child'.

Before You Buy
Species-specific things to check when evaluating a listing
- Search listings using the full cultivar name in quotes: "Anthurium regale" and "red velvet" both collide heavily with cake decorating and unrelated merchandise on general marketplaces
- Check the leaf shows a large, open, deep sinus (inherited from regale) alongside bold pale primary veins against a dark velvet blade; a shallow sinus suggests a different, less regale-influenced cross
- Look for the reddish-burgundy petiole and new-growth flush described for this hybrid; a plant with plain green new growth may not be genuine to type
- If offered a plant under the name 'Voodoo Child', know it's a sibling selection from the same original cross, generally a shade darker, not a separate, unrelated hybrid
- Given the 80-90% humidity requirement and Advanced difficulty, confirm your setup can sustain that consistently

Field Notes
Regale's Scale, Dressleri's Darkness
Since 'Anthurium regale' and 'Anthurium red velvet' collide so easily with cake listings and unrelated merchandise on general marketplaces, I'd always search with the full cultivar name in quotes when hunting for a genuine specimen. Botanically it's a satisfying cross: regale rarely gets this dark, and dressleri rarely gets this big. If you come across 'Voodoo Child' being sold separately, know that it traces back to the same original cross; it's simply a different individual selection, generally a touch darker in tone.
