Anthurium
₵200.00
The Anthurium is actually an entire genius of plants, with more than 1,000 species in total. No matter which one you get, though, you should find that it’s incredibly resilient and easy to keep alive. Its bright colors can add a big splash of character to your home garden or living room.
This a another of the best houseplants for those who are brand new to indoor gardening, or who worry that they don’t have the highest-level skills when it comes to nurturing plants.
Evergreen tropical perennial shrub to 3′, upright and multi-stemmed. Common houseplant Anthuriums are grown for their brightly colored flower spathes and their ornamental leaves. They need bright but indirect light.
Blooms in wild tropical areas in spring to summer; desired in interiors for long-lasting, pink to reddish inflorescence and erect, deep green leaves; spadix is at right angle to spathe and is twisted like a corkscrew in some species; used in interior scapes as specimen or temporary flowering display.
Prefers medium to high light, moist well-drained soil, and low to medium relative humidity. Too little light will cause the plant to bloom less and grow slowly; south or west-facing windows are best. Water when the soil is dry to the touch. High-phosphorus fertilizer will encourage more blooms as well as pruning away old spent blooms. Wipe down the leaves of indoor plants periodically to remove dust. No serious pest problems.
Quick ID Hints:
- Spadix and pink to reddish spathe are at right angles to each other
- Leaves are leathery, with truncate to cordate base
- Short stems develop as plant ages
