Flowering Anthuriums make great gifts, and are generally easy to care for.

Note: There are many different varieties of Anthuriums and care can vary widely by type. These care directions are for Anthuriums cultivated for "flowers" as pictured. Though care for other anthuriums is similar, other varieties, including rare anthuriums, can be more sensitive to low humidity and light conditions and can benefit greatly from humidifiers or grow domes and lights.
