Anthurium veitchii

 

You are bidding on one live small potted plant with vigorous root  systems * inches tall with 2-4 leaves growing in soil-less epiphyte media.

 

Anthurium 'Veitchii' is an unusually interesting plant with a thick texture to the ribbed velvety leaves. Upper leaf is dark olive-green. That leaf thickness is known botanically  as being coriaceous, or leather like.

This plant produces spade shaped leaves with a deep, dark green mixed with black veins on dark emerald green. A beauty with an impressive leaf, Anthurium  Veitchii spreads and grows vertically.

King Anthurium is generally found only in a well defined area at an elevation of 800 to 1200 meters (2500 to 3800 feet). The leaves are unusually thick  and stiff as well as ribbed with silvery veins. Leaves broadsword-shaped, about 30+ inches long and on the shorter stalks. Leaves dark green with dark veins,  and the whole leaf has a shiny, leathery appearance.

This plant is a great exotic house plant. Easy to grow,  Anthurium 'Veitchii' makes an excellent indoor container plant.

           

  

King Anthurium is an epiphytic plant with short stems and long multi-ridged dark colored, thick velvet leaves. Draping  magnificently, the long-elliptic leaves are arranged in a stiffly drooping ribbed pattern, with short petioles.

 Leaf blade surface is bullate and dark purple green. The back of the leaf occasionally is purple or red. Inflorescence is erect and much  shorter than the leaf. The spadix is white, later turning rose. The spathe is green, while ripe berries are purple.

The King Anthurium is one of the largest and most spectacularly beautiful epiphytic Anthurium species. A variable  epiphyte, Anthurium veitchii is a specimen that grows from the branches of a tree rather than in the soil. The leaf veins can be close together or more widely spaced.

Originally identified in 1876, under ideal growing conditions the long leathery leaves can reach six feet! As they grow, the  numerous lateral veins become more pronounced and begin to turn silver/white making for a stunning appearance against the corrugated and elongated deep green   blades.

Young leaves of the King Anthurium are easily damaged and will never heal if scarred. Protect it from wind, insects,  fungus and other predators which may damage the otherwise incredible foliage. Once mature, the leaves of Anthurium veitchii are thick with an undulating  appearance.  Direct sunlight should be avoided, the King Anthurium thrives in fairly bright filtered light since it normally grows well off the ground and near brighter  light. The long stiff patent leather leaves look and feel like ruffled velvet.

We ship via USPS Mondays-Wednesday with Delivery confirmation.

After Inspection, USDA stamps released for export Hawaii to the US Mainland. All items are delivered to USDA Inspection Station at  Honolulu International airport.

USDA Certification charge  is included in Shipping and Handling @ $5 fee per item/species.

There is a packing and custom boxing fee.

Last and usually least is USPS postage (shipping)

ATTENTION INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS!

We can ship certified live plants to the US only. Only Domestic Shipping and Handling includes  USDA Certification.

International Buyers
– Please Note:
The additional charge ($75US) for any Phytosanitary Certificate  is not included in this offer. Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility.

We do ship Seeds Internationally worldwide.

Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding or buying.

Proper Permits and Documents are the Buyer's responsibility.

Please request any documents prior to shipping.

For foreign customers, please check your laws concerning permitting and customs,  additional shipping and handling costs may apply.

INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING ON LIVE PLANTS is available only under these conditions!

All international orders are shipped at the  BUYER'S RISK

 (shipped with or without documents) and no refunds or replacements are offered for Dead On Arrival, loss,  confiscation, Customs Seizure, unanticipated charges, etc.

All International shipments are at Buyer's Risk. Please spend no more more than you can lose!

 

Payment

We accept online payments only through PayPal, Cash payments are only acceptable for in-person pick-ups and cash-on-delivery  (COD). Cash payment can not be sent through the mail. Message me if you want to send cash.

   

Please only one Paypal payment. SO THE COMBINED SHIPPING RULE WILL CAN BE USED. Late or Multiple PayPal payments are  NOT eligible for any discount.

We will ship once a week - ON or BEFORE WEDNESDAYS, because of the special stamps needed to ship plants and cuttings  to you. This can only be done at the Dept. of Agriculture. If payments are not met before that MONDAY, your items will be shipped the following week and  NOT eligible for any combined discount. Non-paying bidders will be reported as an unpaid item to eBay.

COMBINED SHIPPING POLICY

INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING is not included in this offer.

   

INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING ON LIVE PLANTS on a case by case basis.

We will combine shipping for auctions won on the same week paid with same PayPal payment.

This policy is good for auction items bought and paid for in the week ending MONDAY.

We ship on Tuesdays.

Payment must be received within 4 days of the auction ending.

Combined Discounts Won Auctions

For 2-3 winning auctions, the combined discount is 10% of the total Shipping and Handling charges.

For 4-7 winning auctions, the combined discount is 20% of the total Shipping and Handling charges.

For 8+ winning auctions, the combined discount is 30% of the total Shipping and Handling charges.

As each order is packed and prepared separately you will pay the quoted S/H charges  individually per item. If you buy the same species in that item it does calculate out the discount (i.e.: additional items)

My stores' combined shipping is built in for same items rather than a varied selection. Domestic S/H includes  postage, USDA certification and inspection, proper packing and delivery to Airport for prompt delivery.

I can't really change any of these. If you want one of this and one of that, it is hard to discount much as each  different species requires it's own prep, packing, then at USDA each has to be unwrapped and inspected then repacked. USDA requires us to clean and  prepare every last piece before we drive them to the Inspection Station on the other side of the island.

This requirement takes my wife and I, 2-3 days to pack items and get ready to ship. The whole next day we drive  around the island and get inspected (2-3 hours), then drive to the Airport Post Office to drop off. It takes the same work with the same type item if  you can understand.

LIVE PLANTS ARE PERISHABLE.

There is the risk when you grow plants that they may die. LIVE PLANTS are PERISHABLE, guaranteed not to live forever.

US orders ONLY are GUARANTEED LIVE ARRIVAL. All International orders are shipped at the BUYER's RISK!

When you order a plant we assume you are prepared to care for it. It is your responsibility to know how to care  for the plant. Do some research before they arrive or seek experienced help.

 Small plants need protection from many things, wind, sun, dry-out. They do well just in the garage or living  room. They need good light but not sunlight (full sun will burn small plants). Small pots dry-out easily. Just sitting in a shallow tray of water works well. The idea is to keep the plants from dehydrating.

Be careful if you decide to re-pot.  Re-potting voids any warranty. Plants are easily damaged with new/different mix. Use NO fertilizers (this may kill your plants).  Proper care is critical upon arrival. Live Plants are NOT GUARANTEED  to survive under your care. DO NOT expect any live plant to be GUARANTEED to remain alive. Plants are NOT GUARANTEED TO SURVIVE after you begin Care! Live arrival  is guaranteed, eternal survival is up to you.

NO REPLACEMENT WILL BE CONSIDERED IF YOU HAVE REPOTTED THE PLANT.

 IF YOU are NOT able to provide PROPER CARE, PLEASE DO NOT EXPECT plant to be GUARANTEED after it perishes.

BROWN THUMB WARNING:

Please Do NOT email me after a week after receiving and repotting your plant, and make a claim it arrived  damaged. All photo support must be as arrived in original condition  when received (in the box and packed as delivered).

If you repot your plant after delivery, all warranties are voided and no replacement is offered.  You should use good gardening skills and repot if desired but at buyer's risk and expense.

If repotted, you are responsible for the condition of the plant. NO REPLACEMENT or REFUND WILL BE CONSIDERED IF YOU HAVE REPOTTED THE PLANT.

Not every plant that I grow survives, and I am aware of that and accept the risk when I order. This is the risk that  you as the buyer accept, because there is no way to know what kind of conditions it will endure in the trip to your door. My responsibility ends when a live  plant is delivered to your door.

You are agreeing to these terms when you make this purchase from this listing.
