Anthuriums are a collection of over 1,000 different species that hail from the Caribbean and  Central and South America. Different species within the genus are epiphytic (grow on trees in nature) or terrestrial (grow on the ground). Anthuriums are generally an upright plant, meaning they don't tend to trail or vine and will stay upright as they mature. While the Anthurium Andreanum is one of the most famous Anthuriums, due to its popularity in floral arrangements and gift baskets, there are many others that are great additions to any houseplant collection.

4" Anthuriums: We generally have a mix of colors (white, red, pink, purple) available for our 4" Anthuriums. If you are looking for a specific color, please reach out to us prior to placing your order, otherwise we will pick one for you!

Basic Care Notes: Bright, indirect light and water when soil feels dry to the touch. If your plant is healthy, but hasn't rebloomed in a few months, increase the light your Anthurium is getting. Having the right amount of light is the #1 thing your Anthurium andreanum wants in order to keep reblooming for you! A gentle houseplant fertilizer can be applied in spring and summer to help promote more blooms.
