ADD A BEAUTIFUL FITTED POT (OPTIONAL)
The Anthurium Jungle King is a striking tropical houseplant known for its large, lush green foliage and bold presence. With its broad, textured leaves and naturally upright growth, it brings a rich, jungle-like feel into the home, adding depth and character to any space. This is a plant that feels generous and full, softening a room while still making a quiet statement.
It’s particularly well suited to bathrooms or kitchens where humidity is naturally higher, but it will grow happily in most bright indoor spaces with the right care. As it matures, it can reach an impressive size, making it ideal for anyone looking for a larger indoor plant that adds real impact.

Each plant is naturally unique, so leaf shape and fullness may vary slightly.
Native habitat and growth pattern
Anthurium Jungle King (often associated with Anthurium ellipticum types) is native to the Caribbean, where it grows as an epiphyte in warm, humid forests. In the wild, it often grows on trees, using its roots to anchor itself while absorbing moisture and nutrients from the air and surrounding environment. Indoors, it grows steadily into a full, leafy plant, gradually increasing in size and presence over time.
Styling at home
This is a plant that works beautifully on a sideboard, plant stand, or directly on the floor as it grows. Its large leaves create a soft, natural backdrop, making it ideal for living rooms, bedrooms, or calm, cosy corners. It pairs well with neutral pots and natural textures like wood, linen, and ceramics, helping to create a relaxed, indoor jungle feel.
Care requirements
Light: Bright, indirect light is best. Avoid strong direct sun which can scorch the leaves.
Water: Water when the top few centimetres of soil feel dry. Keep the soil lightly moist but not soggy.
Humidity: Prefers higher humidity but will adapt to typical home conditions.
Temperature: Thrives in warm indoor temperatures and should be kept away from cold draughts.
Feeding: A monthly feed during spring and summer will support healthy growth. Our Organic Tropical Plant Food is ideal for steady, balanced nutrition.
Why choose this plant?
The Anthurium Jungle King is a great choice if you’re looking for a large, leafy tropical houseplant that feels both lush and manageable. It has a calm, grounding presence and grows into something genuinely impressive over time, without being difficult to care for.
