Anthurium Plant.

BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION

Flowers

The elegant flowers of this tropical aroid are grown and sold all over

the world. The actual flowers are borne on the "spadix," an upright organ in

the center of the "spaulx," which is the ornamental petal-like organ surrounding

the spadix. Although anthuriums are sensitive to cold temperatures, they have a

long vase life if properly treated. 

www.gerbizor.blogspot.com
Anthurium Plant.

 End of their vase life is usually

the result of an inability to extract water from the vase solution and is associated

with a loss of gloss and then a blueing of the spathe. Much of the water lost

by the flower evaporates from the spadix. An application of wax to prevent this water loss, or a pulsing of silver nitrate to improve the flower's water

relationships, can greatly extend their vase life.

Leaves

The leaves are large, long-petioled, heart-shaped, and come in a variety of colors. They have a prominent midrib and lateral

ribs.
