Velvet Cardboard Anthurium
add a pot to fit this plant
Native to Mexico this unusual anthurium is grown for its thick, green, heart shaped leaves with bright coloured veins. It is a must for plant collectors.
Anthuriums are native to South America and the Caribbean. They can be epiphytic and are often found growing on trees in highly humid environments.
The Anthurium genus is renowned for its most commonly seen varieties with colourful, long-lasting blooms which are actually called 'spathes'. The colourful spathes can last as long as 6 weeks before dying back. However, rarer forms of Anthurium are sought-after for their impressive leaves rather than their spathes.
Care for these plants which are supplied in hydroponic growing pots:
Best kept in moderate to bright, indirect light. A reservoir is located at the base of the pot below the root section. Fill this when the water meter reaches 'watering can' level every 4 to 6 weeks. Apply feed in spring/summer every 4 weeks and mist frequently. Avoid cold draughts.
