4. Anthuriums

The king of modern office interiors, a plant whose shiny leaves and inflorescences are difficult to look away - such is Anthurium. It may not be so easy to look after him, but he adapts remarkably easily to the conditions of the northern rooms and the interior of the premises.

Anthurium today represented mainly varietal plants obtained from anthuriums Scherzer (Anthurium scherzerianum) and anthurium Andre (Anthurium andraeanum).

Anthurium is a perennial evergreen semi-epiphytic plant, in which both flowering and leaves are equally good. Evergreen, perennial and bright, anthuriums are at their peak of popularity today not by accident. Large, basal leaves on long and strong stalks can be either cordate or lanceolate. Leathery, glossy, they seem so neat and flawless that they look almost artificial in many varieties.

The flowering of anthuriums is original up to their bizarre forms. Dense cobs of inflorescences are twisted in the form of a spiral and accentuated by a beautiful, embossed veil with visible veins. The exotic look of anthuriums is also provided by coloring - the glossy surface of the bedspread can be combined with variegated, speckled, pastel, bright acrylic color options from exotic light green and blue to red, pink, white, peach tones.

Anthuriums grow well in bright diffused lighting and in semi-shady places, subject to gradual accustoming, they can adapt even to places not on window sills, but inside the interior of northern windows. This is a thermophilic plant that will do the usual room temperature readings. Anthuriums do not tolerate sudden changes and drafts.

The capriciousness of anthuriums is somewhat exaggerated, but they cannot be attributed to the most undemanding plants to care for. Anthurium should be taken care of to maintain its beauty. The plant does not like drying out of the soil, it requires wiping the leaves and choosing high-quality soft water for irrigation. Frequent feeding allows the plant to produce not only more inflorescences, but also to actively grow leaves. Low air humidity should be compensated for by spraying or installing humidifiers.
