ANTURIUM ANDREANUM
VP/17 H= 70 CM
The Anthurium is a tropical plant with decorative foliage from the Araceae family. Native to the rainforests of Central and South America, it was introduced to Europe as an ornamental plant about 100 years ago, with the first Anthurium bloom in Europe occurring in London’s greenhouses in 1889.
The name comes from the Greek words ánthos, meaning “flower,” and ourá, meaning “tail.” It is also known as the “Hawaiian Heart” or the “flamingo flower.”
It features dark green, heart-shaped leaves, and its decorative value lies in the beauty of its inflorescence, which consists of a large, colored spathe supporting a white-yellowish cylindrical spadix, from which small flowers bloom. The typical color is red in contrast with the yellow spadix, but today there are many hybrids in a variety of colors, including white, pink, orange, and even a speckled variety.
Its popularity is due not only to its glossy, eye-catching colors but also to the long-lasting nature of its flowers. If certain care guidelines are followed, the Anthurium can bloom continuously throughout the year.
The Anthurium is also known for its excellent air-purifying capabilities. Numerous studies have revealed that it is particularly effective at improving the air quality in our homes and offices.
