About Anthurium
Anthurium (Anthurium andraeanum) is a tropical flowering plant from Colombia and Ecuador, prized for its glossy heart-shaped spathes in red, pink, white, or coral surrounding a slender spadix. In NE Florida zone 9b, grow as a container plant in shade or indoors — it cannot tolerate temperatures below 50°F and must be protected from frost. Starting at $24.95.

Care essentials
Light
Anthurium requires bright indirect light or dappled part shade outdoors in NE Florida. Avoid direct afternoon sun, which scorches leaves and spathes. Morning light with afternoon shade is ideal; indoors, place near a bright window with filtered light.
Water
Water thoroughly then allow the top inch of soil to dry before watering again. In NE Florida's humid climate, overwatering and root rot are the primary risks. Ensure excellent drainage; anthuriums are not outdoor perennials in zone 9b and should be container-grown so they can be moved indoors when temperatures drop below 50°F.
Soil & Fertilizer
Use a coarse, well-draining mix such as orchid bark blended with perlite and peat or coco coir — never standard garden soil. Feed every other month with a phosphorus-rich fertilizer to encourage spathe production. Anthuriums are salt-sensitive; flush the pot with plain water monthly to prevent fertilizer buildup.
