Anthurium Vittarifolium variegata

Anthurium is a genus of roughly 1,000 species of flowering plants in the arum family, native to South and Central America, often growing as epiphytes, although some are terrestrial.  While all Anthurium flower, not all have showy blooms. Many varieties of Anthurium are sought after for their foliage.  Anthurium do best in a well lit, bright area, out of direct sunlight.  Typically, but not always, the darker the leaves on an Anthurium, the less bright they need it, however, all do very well in bright, but shaded areas.  This makes them perfect for just about any room of the house!  Even bathrooms that have an indirect natural light source can be a great place to put a beautiful Anthurium. Anthuriums can be quite picky with their water, preferring purified or distilled water and do best when they are kept evenly moist at all times.  Many Anthuriums' roots will grow up and out of the pot, which is perfect, as most naturally grow as Epiphytes.  Higher humidity levels are a must for Anthur
