Key Characteristics:

• Appearance:

  • It features heart-shaped, dark green leaves.

  • The most distinctive feature is the white "flower," which is actually a modified leaf called a spathe. The spathe surrounds a central spike called a spadix.

  • The spadix is often a contrasting color, such as yellow or cream.

• Origin:

  • Anthuriums are native to tropical regions of South America.

• Usage:

  • Primarily grown as an ornamental houseplant.

  • Adds a touch of tropical elegance to indoor spaces.

  • Also used in floral arrangements.

Care Requirements:

• Light:

• Watering:

  • Requires consistently moist, but not waterlogged, soil.

  • Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings.

• Humidity:

  • Thrives in high humidity environments.

  • Regular misting or a humidifier can 1 be beneficial.
