The World of Rare Aroids

Varigated, velvet and everything in between 🍃

There’s something almost spiritual about rare aroids.
They’re the kind of plants that make you pause… and actually feel something.

Ever noticed how certain leaves look like they’ve lived a whole life before you met them?
That’s what aroids do.
They carry stories in their veins.

Take the Anthurium warocqueanum — the Queen.
Long, velvet leaves that look like they belong in a slow-motion perfume ad.
People spend years chasing a good specimen. Why?
Because owning one feels a bit like managing your own tiny ecosystem of resilience and beauty.

Or the Philodendron spiritus-sancti, the holy grail.
Six feet of cascading drama. Only a handful exist in the wild now.
It’s less a plant… more a reminder that the rarest things often need the most protection.

And here’s the quiet truth:
Collecting rare aroids isn’t really about collecting.
It’s about creating a small pocket of stillness in a chaotic world.
It’s about watching slow growth and realising your own growth is slow too — and that’s okay.

They teach patience.
They teach presence.
They teach you that good things don’t flourish under pressure, but under consistency.

Funny how a plant can tell you more about yourself than most people can.
