Genus of 700-900 species of evergreen perennials, many epiphytic, with erect, sometimes climbing stems, from wet mountain forest in tropical and subtropical North and South America. Anthuriums are very attractive plants all year round. The flowering season stretches from spring to late summer.Unfortunately Anthuriums are not easy to grow and only the most popular one is reasonably tolerant of ordinary room conditions.All parts may cause mild stomach upset if ingested, and contact with the sap may irritate skin.
Average warmth in summer - minimum 60F in winter.Semi-shade or bright light. Keep well away from direct sunlight.
Keep compost moist at all time. Water sparingly in winter. Misting is necessary.
Divide plant at repotting time. Sow seed at 75-81 F (24-27 C) as soon as ripe; they may take several months to germinate.
