Plant Care Guides » Anthuriums

If you are looking for a visually appealing plant to add to your indoor plant collection, look no further than the anthurium clarinervium. Also known as the velvet cardboard anthurium, this plant can trace its roots to southern Mexico and is considered a low maintenance plant.

Native to Central and South America, the anthurium crystallinum is a heart-shaped evergreen with velvety foliage. The leaves of this beauty are dark green or reddish purple with deep, white veins that make it visually stand out. Anthuriums are widely enjoyed as outdoor plants in tropical gardens, but they also make excellent houseplants in the kitchen, patio, or living room.

With their exotic beauty and diverse shapes and colors, Anthuriums are especially popular among plant collectors. Most anthuriums fit into one of two categories: flowering anthuriums or foliage anthuriums. The flowering varieties have blooming seasons, and often have colorful flowers to distinguish them from the foliage varieties, which tend to have thick, green leaves instead of little colorful spathes.
