Anthurium

The Anthurium has large, glossy deep green leaves. Some varieties may have variegated or darker leaves.

Even without flowers, it makes an attractive indoor plant. However, it is its 'flowers' that draw attention. These are not, in fact, true flowers! The large coloured leaf-like part is known as the spathe.

Water plants only when the top 5cm or so of potting mix feels dry to the touch. Give enough that excess water flows out of the base of the pot. 

Anthuriums like good indirect light – do not place them on windowsills where they will be exposed to the sun through the glass, or they'll burn. Avoid air-conditioning and heater vents, which will dry out the air.

Available in a 140mm gardener's pot.
