about anthurium

The Anthurium is a tropical flower and pot plant. It’s highly versatile, easy to care for, and loves warmth and humidity. Besides being a beautiful addition to every home, they also have air-purifying qualities by neutralizing toxic substances in the air. The result? A cleaner, healthier living environment.

all together now For a unique collection of exotic botanicals, put the prettiest pot Anthuriums you can find inside various decorative pots and group them together on top of a beautiful cabinet. You’ll be able to enjoy them for a long time since an Anthurium is the longest flowering houseplant.

The exotic side of green What better way to respond to this exotic trend than with a goldcoloured bowl featuring flowers in a range of purples with an accent of white and yellow? Always trim a little piece from the stems and be sure to place the ends below the surface of the water.

one big statement If you have space to spare, make an impressive display in your living room with a great big eye-catcher. Place the plant where it will receive light but not full sun.

This will show it off to perfection and still allow it to continue growing.

enjoy for weeks Green Anthuriums fit perfectly in a robust, industrial environment. Trim 5 cm from their stems and place the flowers in a clean vase filled with tap water.

Refresh the water in the Anthurium vase about once a week and at the same time cut 1 cm off the stalk. Then they will last even longer.

a vase for each flower By using contrasting colours you can make the vases stand out. Or have them merge into their surroundings by using tone-on-tone. As the long stalk of the Anthurium has no leaf, the flower draws all the attention and you have instant impact. It’s also very easy to vary the length of the stalk to create height differences – ideal for low vases or glasses. anthurium

do it yourself Also nice, wrap your anthuriums with moss and make your own Kokedama. "Kokedama" literally means "mosbal" in Japanese. It is a special Bonsai technique, where the roots of a plant grow in a ball of moss. And you can easily make that yourself.

hang in there

We’ve been putting pictures, mirrors and shelves up on bare walls for years. But it’s really nice to put plants or flowers on a shelve for a change. Or instead of a lamp, put a hanging pot on the ceiling.

We already have hooks in there, so we would say, ‘Take the light down and hang up that plant!’

how to take care?

Anthurium is very easy to look after, as it needs very little attention to keep looking beautiful for a long time. There are a couple of extra care tips and tricks we’d like to share, so you’ll enjoy your Anthurium plants or flowers even longer.

Plant: in the winter you can water your Anthurium once a week and twice a week during the summer.

Flower: refresh the water approximately once a week and cut a centimeter from the floral stalk, then they will last easily for 2 – 3 weeks.

Anthuriums thrive in bright, indirect light, but direct sunlight should be avoided.

Anthuriums love a temperature between 20 - 22°C. The minimum temperature for the pot plant and cut flower is 16°C.

With the right maintenance routine and fertilization, the Anthurium plants will bloom true the year.
