Anthurium

The Anthurium is a very well-known and popular houseplant. The plant likes medium to high humidity and also often does well at room temperature.

The Anthurium has more and more species and hybrids. Moreover, there are more and more distinct plants on the market that contain, for example, variegata. These spots can be white, yellow or cream colored, for example.

Many Anthuriums grow a bit slower than, say, a Philodendron, but on the other hand, the leaf texture is often much more unique of an Anthurium. For example, the Anthurium radicans has very dark, round and shiny leaves with a kind of scaly-like bumps. And in turn, the Anthurium warocqueanum (Queen Anthurium) has flatter, long leaves with a soft texture.

The Anthurium is often not suitable for the novice plant lover, but one often does not need to be extremely advanced either. This plant just needs a bit more attention than an average Philodendron or Monstera plant.
