houseplantAnthurium is a genus of approximately 1,000 species of tropical flowering plants in the arum family (Araceae). Many species grow as epiphytes on trees, though some are terrestrial with clustered, variable-shaped leaves. The distinctive inflorescence features tiny perfect flowers arranged in dense spirals on a spadix (spike), which is subtended by a colorful spathe (bract) that may be lance-shaped, flat, curved, or hood-like.
Well-draining, porous soil with organic matter; many species grow as epiphytes and prefer loose, aerated substrates.
