Notes
Anthurium (Anthurium andraeanum) is a houseplant for containers, specimen use, and indoor accents. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 11 and warmer, down to about 40°F (4°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes part sun or part shade and average to moist, sandy or loamy soil. It grows slowly into an erect, evergreen clump 12 to 18 inches tall. It needs little care, so it suits a busy home.
Pairs well with Button fern, Raindrop peperomia, and Fiddle leaf fig.
