Do you belong to those tribe of people who want to add a dash of color around the house and aren’t just looking for green plants?

Then Anthuriums are your answer. Leaves of this plant are clustered in shape and the inflorescence bears small flowers which come in several colours. The flowers are collected in a dense spiral on the spadix. You could also go for a climbing Anthurium to cover up a bare wall, in such a case be sure to provide the plant with a sturdy totem pole to help it climb easily.

The red oval spathes of a flamingo flower & Laceleaf make it really distinguishable. The flowers grow on orange spadix and grow densely. The heart-shaped flowers are actually morphed leaves and called spathes. The natural habitat of the Anthurium plant is tropical and warm areas such as Central America.

Different Varieties of Anthurium: Orange Anthurium, Obake Red Anthurium,Pink Anthurium, Black Anthurium, Purple Tulip Anthurium, Pigtail Anthurium
