6 in. Giant Anthurium

Go Big. Go Bold. Go Anthurium.

There's nothing subtle about the Giant Anthurium — and that's exactly the point. With enormous, deeply veined leaves that can span over a foot across as the plant matures, this is the kind of statement plant that transforms a room rather than simply decorating it. In a 6-inch pot, it's already a substantial, commanding presence. Give it time, the right light, and a little humidity, and it will reward you with some of the most dramatic foliage in the houseplant world.

The Giant Anthurium (Anthurium warocqueanum or related large-leaf varieties) belongs to one of the most diverse and coveted genera in the plant kingdom. Prized by collectors and interior designers alike, it brings a lush, jungle-like energy that no faux plant or art print can replicate. This is a living sculpture — one that grows, evolves, and gets more impressive with every new leaf it unfurls.

Why You'll Love It

• Dramatic, oversized foliage — deeply veined, velvety leaves with an architectural scale that makes an immediate and lasting impression
• Collector's plant — large-leaf Anthuriums are among the most sought-after houseplants in the enthusiast community; owning one puts you in excellent company
• Living sculpture — each new leaf unfurls as a lighter, brighter shade before deepening to a rich, dark green; watching it grow is genuinely exciting
• Air purifying — Anthuriums are recognized for filtering common indoor air pollutants including ammonia, formaldehyde, and xylene
• Long-lived — with the right care, a Giant Anthurium becomes a decades-long companion and a centerpiece that only gets more impressive over time

Care Guide

• Light: Bright indirect light is essential for strong, healthy growth and large leaf development. An east or west-facing window with filtered light is ideal. Avoid direct sun, which will scorch the leaves, and low light, which will result in smaller, less impressive foliage and slow growth
• Water: Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry — roughly every 1–2 weeks. Water thoroughly and allow excess to drain fully; Anthuriums are susceptible to root rot in consistently soggy soil. Use filtered or room-temperature water when possible
• Humidity: This is where the Giant Anthurium has strong preferences — it loves high humidity (60%+), which supports the large, lush leaf development it's known for. Mist regularly, use a pebble tray, or invest in a humidifier nearby for best results. In dry environments, leaf edges may brown without adequate moisture in the air
• Temperature: Prefers 65–85°F (18–29°C); keep away from cold drafts, air conditioning vents, and temperatures below 60°F, which can stress the plant and slow growth significantly
• Fertilizer: Feed monthly during spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer or one higher in nitrogen to support vigorous leaf growth; reduce to every 6–8 weeks in fall and winter
• Repotting: Repot every 1–2 years as the plant grows, moving up one pot size at a time. Our Premium Potting Soil mixed with orchid bark or perlite creates the chunky, well-draining, moisture-retentive mix Giant Anthuriums love
• Support: As the plant grows and leaves get larger, a moss pole or stake can help support the stems and encourage upward growth

A Note on Toxicity

Like all Anthuriums, the Giant Anthurium contains calcium oxalate crystals in its leaves and stems, which are toxic if ingested by humans, cats, or dogs. Keep out of reach of children and pets, and wash hands after handling. With mindful placement, it is a completely safe and spectacular addition to your home.

Styling Ideas

The Giant Anthurium is a natural floor plant as it matures — place it on a low plant stand or directly on the floor in a bright corner where its leaves have room to spread. It pairs beautifully with other large-leaf tropicals like the Rubber Plant or Dracaena Tornado for a layered, jungle-inspired display. In a simple, oversized ceramic or woven basket pot, it becomes the undisputed centerpiece of any room.

Tip: Keep those magnificent leaves clean and gleaming with our Leaf Shine Spray — at this scale, dust-free leaves make a visible difference in both appearance and the plant's ability to absorb light efficiently. A clean Giant Anthurium is a happy Giant Anthurium.
