Frequently Asked Questions
Why are the new leaves of my Anthurium clarinervium light-colored? This is completely normal — each new leaf emerges curled and light before unfolding and gradually darkening, revealing its velvety texture and white veins over a few weeks.
How do I care for the velvety foliage of Anthurium clarinervium? Gently wipe the leaves with a soft, slightly damp cloth — water stains from hard water are very visible on the velvet and hard to remove once dry.

🍃 Dark green velvety leaves veined with white • 🌤️ Bright interior / Partial shade • 💧 Moderate watering • 🌱 Easy care • 📏 H25 cm | Pot Ø15 cm
Anthurium clarinervium, nicknamed Velvet Heart, is a collector's Anthurium native to Mexico that stands out radically from flowering varieties: here, the foliage is spectacular — large, thick, dark green velvety leaves crossed by bright white veins creating a striking natural graphic. Discover our collection of collector plants.
Unlike flowering Anthuriums, it does not produce colorful bracts — its decorative value lies entirely in its leaves, which gradually grow with age. Our guide to creating a relaxing plant corner will give you ideas for styling it.
Exposure & Location
Anthurium clarinervium prefers soft, filtered light — direct sun burns the velvety leaves and irreversibly dulls their texture.
- Exposure: bright interior with partial shade — east or north-facing window ideal.
- Ideal for: living room, office, bedroom, relaxation space.
- Temperature: 18 to 25 °C, no cold drafts.
- Substrate: airy mix for tropical plants — potting soil, coconut fiber, and perlite.
Watering & Care
- Watering: moderate — keep the substrate slightly moist without excess, let the top layer dry between waterings. Use non-calcareous water at room temperature. Our light and humidity guide helps you find the right balance.
- Frequency: about once a week, depending on season and light.
- Humidity: prefers a slightly humid atmosphere — mist regularly or place on a tray of moist clay pebbles.
- Fertilizer: every 3 to 4 weeks in spring and summer, diluted green plant fertilizer.
- Care: wipe leaves with a soft cloth to preserve their velvety shine and avoid water marks.
Decor Ideas & Plant Pairings
Its graphic leaves with white veins make it a strong accent plant — placed at eye level on a console or shelf, it immediately draws attention.
- Velvet duo: pair it with the Philodendron melanochrysum — two plants with dark green velvety foliage, two different genera, two types of contrasting veins, a coherent and spectacular collector’s duo.
- Anthurium collection: pair it with the Anthurium White and the Anthurium Black Love — three Anthuriums, two with colorful flowers and one with graphic foliage, three radically different ways to appreciate the same genus.
- Decorative pot: a matte beige stoneware or terracotta provides a natural and modern contrast that highlights the richness of the foliage without competing with it.
Verdeia Tips
- Wipe leaves by hand: water marks from calcareous water on velvety foliage are very visible — gently clean with a slightly damp soft cloth after each watering to keep the velvety texture intact.
- Ambient humidity first: a tray of moist clay pebbles under the pot is the simplest way to maintain the tropical humidity it needs without risk of overwatering.
- Patience with new leaves: each new leaf emerges curled and light before unfolding and gradually darkening — don’t worry if a young leaf looks different, it reveals its velvety texture within a few weeks.

FAQ – Everything to know before adopting your Verdeia plant
How are my plants prepared before shipping?
All our plants are selected from our European partner nurseries. Before shipping, they are watered, cleaned, and protected with breathable, secure packaging. Each package is designed to ensure your plant arrives in perfect health, without any transport-related stress.
Will the plant look exactly like the photo?
The photos accurately represent the variety and the stated size. Since each plant is unique, slight differences in shape, foliage, or color may occur — and that’s part of their charm.
What are the delivery times and conditions?
Shipping is done within 48 business hours, with tracked delivery within 2 to 5 business days. Delivery costs €5.60 — free for orders over €50. You will receive a tracking link as soon as the package is shipped.
What to do upon receiving my plant?
Open your package as soon as you receive it and carefully remove the plant from its packaging. Let it acclimate for 24 hours in its new environment before watering. If it has been slightly stressed during transport, it will recover its shape after one or two days in the light.
What to do if my plant arrives damaged?
Contact us within 48 hours with a photo of the issue. Our team will assess the situation and offer you the best solution: replacement, partial refund, or recovery advice.
Can I return a plant?
Since plants are living beings, standard returns are not possible. However, we guarantee good health upon delivery: if the plant arrives damaged, it will be replaced free of charge. For any other cases (order error, decorative pot, accessory), returns are possible within 14 days.
