Anthurium Lilly

You’d be forgiven for thinking that this plant is a peace lily as they look very similar and its botanical name is close but this plant is actually an Anthurium.  A master of deception, the pink parts of the plant aren’t actually flowers, they’re spathes. It gets a bit scientific, but a spathe is a colourful leaf that attracts insects.

These plants are known for symbolising happiness, hospitality and abundance, which could be why anthuriums are one of our most popular gifts.

Some may advise that Anthuriums needs a humid spot, but here in the UAE, it does not. We noticed that the spathes or the flowers stayed longer in normal conditions and not with high humidity. 

Water once a week or when the top 2 inches of the soil is dry. 

Size: 25cm, comes in regular nursery pot
