Description

Please note: This is an Imperfect Plant

Our Imperfect Plants are healthy and ready to grow, but they show a little more character than those in our main range. These plants may have some cosmetic quirks such as old pest damage, slight browning, twisted or stunted growth, or a few damaged leaves. None of these issues affect their long-term health, and every plant is checked by our team to ensure it’s rooted and ready to thrive in your care.

By choosing an Imperfect Plant, you’re giving a perfectly good plant a second chance. It’s a simple way to grow your collection while helping us reduce waste and make our production more sustainable. Each one is unique, with its own story and charm, perfect for anyone who values growth in all its forms.

Due to the nature of these plants, Imperfect Plants are not eligible for exchanges or refunds.

Anthurium warocqueanum, known as the Queen Anthurium, is one of the most coveted aroids in cultivation. Its long, pendulous leaves are deeply velvety, dark green, with a network of contrasting silver-white veins that become more defined as the plant matures. In ideal conditions the leaves can reach extraordinary lengths. It is not the easiest Anthurium to grow, but for those who can meet its needs it is one of the most rewarding.

About Queen Anthurium

Good for

Hallway

Soil & Substrate

As a hemiepiphyte, Anthurium warocqueanum is intolerant of dense, moisture-retaining substrates. Our Anthurium Premium Potting Mix is peat-free and formulated specifically for demanding Anthuriums as it is structured for drainage and aeration.

Origins

Native to the tropical rainforests of Colombia, Anthurium warocqueanum grows as a hemiepiphyte in humid, shaded understory environments, anchoring itself to tree trunks. Providing a moss pole or mount in cultivation will encourage the largest and most dramatic leaf development.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does my plant come with a pot?
Your plant will arrive in its nursery grow pot — the plastic pot it's been growing in. We don't include a decorative pot as standard, and there's a good reason for that: it means you get to choose one that fits your space and style, rather than being stuck with something that doesn't suit your home.

It also means you're not paying extra for a pot you might not want. The nursery pot is perfectly fine to keep your plant in for a while, just pop it inside a decorative cover pot or cache pot and you're good to go. When you're ready to repot (usually after a growing season or when roots start poking out the bottom), you can move it into something more permanent with fresh soil.

If you're not sure what size cover pot to go for, check the pot selector tool listed above, you'll want a decorative pot that's a centimetre or two wider than that to give it a comfortable fit.
How big will my plant be when it arrives?
Every plant on our site includes the pot size (e.g. 12cm) and, where possible, an approximate height. That's the most reliable way to set your expectations, photos can sometimes make a plant look larger or smaller than it really is.

If you're thinking "that sounds quite small for the price," here's something worth knowing: younger, smaller plants almost always adapt better to your home than larger ones. They adjust faster to your light and humidity, put out new growth more quickly, and tend to establish stronger root systems long-term. A plant that grows into your space will usually outperform one that was already big when it arrived.

That said, every plant is an individual. The one you receive may vary slightly in height, shape, or fullness compared to the photo, that's the nature of living things, not a quality issue. We select healthy, well-established specimens, and if you ever feel your plant doesn't match what you were expecting, just get in touch and we'll take a look.
What makes your plants different from the supermarket or garden centre?
There's a big difference between a plant that's been sitting under on a retail shelf and one that's been looked after and cared for by people who specialise in exactly this.

Our plants are grown in house or sourced from specialist nurseries, many of them varieties you simply won't find at your local garden centre or supermarket. Before anything leaves us, it's checked over by our horticultural team to make sure it's healthy, well-rooted, and ready to thrive in your home. We're not shifting volume off a pallet, we're choosing plants we'd want to keep ourselves.

When you buy from a supermarket, you get a plant and a generic care label. When you buy from us, you get the knowledge that comes with it, detailed care guidance, a team you can actually contact if something isn't going right, and the confidence that what's arriving has been looked after properly from the moment it was grown to the moment it reaches your door.

We're a specialist nursery first, not a retailer that happens to sell plants. That's the difference, and you'll see it the moment you open the box.
What should I do when my plant arrives?
First things first, unbox it as soon as you can. Plants don't love being in dark boxes any more than you would, and the sooner yours is out and breathing, the better.

Remove all the packaging carefully, give the soil a check with your finger, and water lightly if it feels dry. Then find it a spot with appropriate light, but avoid putting it straight into harsh direct sun or next to a radiator. Think of it like arriving somewhere new after a long journey: it needs a moment to adjust.

It's completely normal for your plant to look a little tired or droopy after transit. This is called transit stress, and most plants bounce back within a week or two. You might see a yellow leaf or some drooping, don't panic, and resist the urge to overwater or start repotting straight away.

Our advice for the first couple of weeks: leave it in its nursery pot, water it only when the top layer of soil feels dry, and let it acclimatise to your home's light, temperature, and humidity. Once it's settled in and showing signs of new growth, you can think about repotting or moving it to its permanent spot.

Every plant we sell comes with a care guide on the product page so you'll know exactly what it needs going forward. And if anything doesn't look right, get in touch with our team, we're always happy to help.
Will my plant survive being shipped?
Yes! and we go to serious lengths to make sure of it. Every plant is hand-packed by our team with protective wrapping and secure, custom-designed boxes to keep it stable and safe in transit. We've shipped hundreds of thousands of plants across the UK and our packaging methods have been refined over years to handle the bumps and jolts of delivery.

During colder months, we monitor weather forecasts and offer heat packs where needed to protect against frost. In extreme conditions, we may hold your order for a day or two rather than risk sending it out, we'd rather you wait an extra day than receive a stressed plant.

That said, plants are living things, and the occasional transit wobble can happen. If your plant arrives damaged or isn't in the condition you'd expect, just get in touch within 48 hours with a photo, and we'll make it right, whether that's a replacement or a full refund. No fuss.

The short version: we treat every box like it's going to someone who really cares about what's inside, because it is.

Really pleased with this imperfect plant. Yes it has a few marks on the leaves but it appears really healthy and a great size for the price. I can't wait to see how it grows over the next few months.

It's recovering! The amount of leaves when delivered remained alive and non of it turned yellow.. I was sent with lots of foliage which are sizing up now since purchased. It's no different to buying the perfect looking once as the adaptation and acclimation of the queen anthurium is somehow fast. These anthurium do really get used to their new environment provided it doesn't get moved a lot as it slows down growth. Air circulation from a fan or airy room is essential.x❤️💯

So far, so good.

Alot of roots coming under the pot so I repotted it. Let it sit under a grow light and humidifier, and it looks to be great. But it is early days, so we will see x

Breathtaking

I ordered the imperfect Anthurium Queen and just wow. The plant really is a Queen. I was so amazed at the quality and was not expecting this given the fact I had ordered the imperfect version. I am absolutely delighted with my purchase and Grow Tropicals are just brilliant from start to finish. Beautiful plant.

Plants are great, delivery service unhelpful

Received two beautiful plants, looking healthy even though the sales notes specified that plants will be not perfect, hence a little lower price.
Delivery was with a struggle as the company added my street address without the house number, I cannot remember if it was my mistake or issue with their system. They unfortunately refused to help and amend the delivery address or ask Royal mail to deliver to local post office. I had an idea where plants may get stuck and luckily the post office staff were helpful. 3 starts due to issues with delivery.
