Anthurium watermaliense

Anthurium watermaliense is the accepted species behind the common names Black Anthurium and Black Prince, both used for its dark violet-purple spathe. The foliage itself is glossy green, deeply lobed and held from a short, thick-rooted crown.

The plant can grow terrestrially or occasionally epiphytically in wet tropical habitats. In cultivation, it needs steady moisture, warm conditions and an open substrate that keeps oxygen around the roots.

Recognising Anthurium watermaliense

  • Foliage: Deeply lobed, cordate leaves with a glossy to semi-glossy upper surface.
  • Inflorescence: Dark violet-purple spathe, often the reason for the Black Anthurium nickname.
  • Growth habit: Short-stemmed Anthurium with thick roots and a self-standing crown.
  • Cataphylls: Protective leaf sheaths can wear into fibres around the stem.
  • Origin: Native from Costa Rica to Colombia in wet tropical habitats.
  • Root structure: Dense roots need moisture and air rather than compact, saturated substrate.

Leaves, roots and spathe of Anthurium watermaliense

Anthurium watermaliense has lobed, glossy leaves with a paler underside and a compact stem that stays close to the pot. Mature plants can produce a dark spathe that may appear almost black in certain light, although botanically it is better described as deep violet-purple.

The thick roots need moisture and oxygen at the same time. A bark-rich aroid mix keeps the root zone open, while regular but measured watering prevents the crown from sitting in stale, saturated substrate.

Indoor care for Anthurium watermaliense

  • Light: Bright filtered light keeps the leaves firm and reduces scorch risk on glossy surfaces.
  • Watering: Keep the mix lightly moist, then let excess water drain fully after each watering.
  • Substrate: Use an airy organic aroid mix with bark, coarse fibre and mineral structure.
  • Humidity: Moderate to high humidity keeps new leaves and inflorescences from drying at the edges.
  • Temperature: Warm, stable conditions are important; cold wet roots can decline quickly.
  • Potting: Keep the crown slightly above the substrate surface so the short stem stays dry and ventilated.
  • Feeding: Feed lightly during active growth and flush the pot occasionally to reduce salt marks on leaf edges.

Leaf, root and spathe issues on Anthurium watermaliense

  • Soft yellowing leaves: Check drainage and root condition, especially if the substrate feels dense or sour.
  • Brown edges: Low humidity, inconsistent watering or fertiliser salts can mark the leaf margins.
  • Damaged spathe: Dry air, handling or transport can crease or dry the dark spathe.
  • Pest marks: Inspect new growth, petioles and leaf undersides for thrips, mites and mealybugs.

Plant safety with Anthurium watermaliense

Keep Anthurium watermaliense away from pets and small children. Like other Anthurium species, it contains calcium oxalate crystals that can irritate the mouth, throat, skin and eyes.

Botanical notes on Anthurium watermaliense

Anthurium watermaliense was described by L.H.Bailey and Nash and published in 1914. It is an accepted Araceae species native from Costa Rica to Colombia. The genus name Anthurium refers to the tail-like spadix of the inflorescence.

Absolutely Perfect?!!
Size: 15 Combo Travel Size, Size: 15 Combo Travel Size
AMAZING!! This made packing soooo easy and such a breeze!! My suitcase was organized & I had everything that I needed for my trip. It has a great suction & comes with several red strips (I’ll call them) to ensure a tight seal before suctioning the air out. The bags comes on several different sizes & hold quite a bit of items in the big bag which held out hoodies & sweatsuits. Vacuum it’s not loud at all. Lightweight but packs power. This is a game changer! Very durable & great quality!! I’d highly recommend this item.

Good Space Savings, but the Bag Zippers don't hold very well
Size: 15 Combo Travel Size
I purchased these Vacbird travel vacuum bags mainly to save space in carry-on luggage and cruise packing, and the overall concept works well. The included rechargeable air pump is compact and convenient for travel, and the compression bags can significantly reduce the amount of space taken up by clothing and soft items when sealed properly. The bags themselves are easy to fill and compress, and they can definitely help organize luggage more efficiently for longer trips. For bulky clothing like jackets, sweatshirts, or extra layers, the space savings are noticeable. The rechargeable pump is also more convenient than manually rolling air out of the bags repeatedly. The reason this isn’t a higher rating is the zipper closure quality. The zippers feel much weaker than they should for a product designed around repeated compression and travel handling. Several closures required extra care to avoid separating or leaking air, which reduces confidence in long-term durability. The system works, but the zipper design feels like the weak point and keeps the product from feeling as reliable as it otherwise could be.

Amazing product, and even more AMAZING Customer Care Team!
Color: All Black Premium Gift Box, Size: Z1 Motor + Batteries, Color: All Black Premium Gift Box, Size: Z1 Motor + Batteries
I don't normally write reviews, however I can't not mention the ABSOLUTELY AMAZING Customer Care experience I had with these folks. But first, In review of the product itself, which is the 'Executive Series Black Milk Frother with Black Holster Stand'. This is my first 'frother' purchase, and I must say I was skeptical at best to try it, but I opted to purchase it anyway because of all the great things the company stands for. I figured, how good could it really work?! Well, as a matter of fact, it worked quite wonderfully! Within just a few seconds / pulses of the frother, you have beautifully frothed contents. It is simple to operate, with one hand, and just the simple push of a button. (I imagine I could even make whipped cream without dragging out a stand mixer.) The batteries, (2 AA - not included), were simple to load. And, there is a battery pull ribbon so you can also remove them easier, if you utilize the pull ribbon and thread it between the batteries. This device quickly became part of my weekend coffee routine, and I also purchased a lesser model to bring to work. (This 'Executive' one, has a holster stand, which looks nicer, and seemed to cradle the frother, instead of hooking it into the holder.) I was so happy with the frother, I was sad that one day it seemed to not be working quite as well. I thought .. hmm, maybe the batteries need to be changed? I changed the batteries, and was still experiencing it not really working. (I would press the button, but it didn't start frothing right away, and then seemed less powerful in a way when it did start. But, it did still froth.) After a second day of experiencing the same thing, I reached out to Zulay. They are gracious enough to have ALL of their contact information printed directly on their box, underneath all of the beautiful information about the company, and where / how it began. It was on a weekend, so I chose to send an email describing what I was experiencing, and asking their advice. Based off most recent attempts at Customer 'Service' with other companies, I didn't really expect to hear back. Not only DID I hear back, but I received an email from a human, not just a system-generated response with canned information. They expressed their concern for my item not working, and assured me they would make it right if given the opportunity. They wanted to confirm my order, to make sure they had the same model in stock. Within hours, they sent me a link to replace my item, and would ship it directly to me, no questions asked. No need to return the inoperable item, no need to do anything but literally click the button and wait for it to arrive. My replacement arrived, and it was the exact model I purchased. It was brand new, wrapped in package .. not some refurbished item. And, much to my shock and appreciation that almost NO ONE does this anymore, there was a hand written card included in the package thanking me for giving their family run business a shot. Well, I thank YOU for sharing YOUR family with us, and for making me feel a little like a piece of yours! I would highly recommend this product, and would certainly purchase it, or others, in the future. I would certainly also be comfortable gifting this item. Enjoy!

Changed 1st review. Product works well!
Color: Absolute Black, Size: Z1 Motor + Batteries
Need to change my review. I WAS putting the batteries in wrong. 🫤 My husband showed me what I was doing wrong. Apologies for the first review. Doesn't work. I put in the batteries three different times just to make sure I wasn't making a mistake, but it wouldn't turn on.
