Anthurium warocqueanum 'Aurea'

Morphology

About

Anthurium warocqueanum 'Aurea' is a rare pigment-deficient colour form of the iconic Queen Anthurium, in which new leaves emerge a soft chartreuse-gold rather than the species' usual near-black green. The elongated, velvet-textured blade and bold silvery-white venation remain true to the species, but the warm golden cast gives the plant a completely different presence as it matures and slowly deepens toward green with age. Because the aurea trait is unstable and easily lost through tissue culture, confirmed specimens are exceptionally scarce, placing this form among the most sought-after colour mutations in the velvet-leaf Anthurium world.
