DESCRIPTION: True to its name, the Anthurium regale is one of the most majestic plants in the aroid world. It is famous for its massive, velvet-textured, heart-shaped leaves that can reach up to 3–4 feet in length in optimal conditions. The foliage is a deep, smoky green, dominated by a stunning "bright-white" venation pattern that radiates from the sinus to the leaf margins. It is a slow grower and can be quite temperamental if its specific environmental needs aren't met.
