Crystal
Laceleaf, Crystal Anthurium Anthurium crystallinum
I thought this plant a real "looker" and have spent years wondering
what it was or how to care for it if I came upon one. Now I know.
Benefits:
From: Central and South American rainforest environments.
Photographed: At
the Hotel Atitlan on Lake Atitlan in Guatemala in 2010.
Planting and Care: This lovely
plant has little preference for soil acidity, but likes it
moist and well drained. It lives natively in warm jungle areas
so duplicate that and you should have a very happy plant.

Flamingo-Lily,
Flamingo Flower, Oilcloth-Flower, Tail Flower Anthurium
andraeanum
These large bloomers will grow to be three feet tall under the right conditions
and they'll bloom all year around. What could be better?
Benefits and Drawbacks: Remember, all
anthuriums are poisonous so keep them away from your children
and your pets.
From: Colombia and Ecuador
Photographed: In the Wellington Botanic
Garden in Wellington,
New Zealand, in 2013.
Planting and Care: These plants grow on almost nothing as do
all epiphytes, but you can also get them to grow in loose fibrous or rocky environments.
Just remember they like it shady and humid.

Bird's
Nest Anthurium Anthurium hookeri Ruffles
This is a real looker with its huge leaves and dramatic form.
Benefits:
From: Northwestern South America
Photographed: In the Botanical Garden at the Hotel Atitlan on
Lake Atitlan in Guatemala 2010.
Planting and Care: Pick a place that is shady or semi shady
and completely out of the wind as its huge stiff leaves are easily damaged. In
the wild this plant grows on trees and rocks almost without a soil base so plant
it carefully to approximate its preferences. Then mulch it well and be sure to
keep it moist.
