This plant is known for its long blooming period and is often seen as a symbol of love and passion. Anthuriums thrive in a warm and humid environment, so regular misting is important. They prefer indirect sunlight and grow best in well-draining potting soil. Anthuriums are not only an aesthetic addition to any interior, but also relatively easy to care for.
