Anthurium Genus

Anthurium is a diverse genus in the Araceae family, comprising around 1,000 species, nearly all of which are native to Central and South America. Anthuriums can be found as both terrestrial and epiphytic species, often thriving in the shaded understories of tropical forests. Their leaves vary widely in shape and texture, ranging from large, velvety hearts to smaller, lance-like forms.

The inflorescence, commonly referred to as the "flower," hosts numerous tiny bisexual flowers that are long lasting, making them relatively easy to cross pollinate. Like most other Aroids, Anthurium can also be propagated through cuttings.

Anthurium Care

Foliage anthuriums thrive in environments that mimic their tropical origins, so maintaining high humidity is key. Aim for 70-80% humidity, and consider using a humidifier if you live in a drier climate. These plants prefer moderately warm temperatures, ideally between 70-90°F (21-32°C).

Most collector Anthuriums are epiphytic, so they do best in a chunky, well-draining substrate that allows adequate airflow to the roots. For watering, ensure the substrate remains consistently moist but not soggy, as overly wet conditions can lead to root rot. Lightly fertilize every few months to encourage healthy growth, but be cautious not to over-fertilize, as strong concentrations can damage the plant.

Bright, but heavily filtered indirect light is ideal for foliage anthuriums; direct sunlight can scorch their delicate leaves.
