Anthurium is a genus of flowering plants native to the tropical Americas. Known for their glossy, heart-shaped leaves and vibrant, long-lasting flowers, they are popular as ornamental houseplants. The flowers, which are actually modified leaves called spathes, come in various colors, including red, pink, and white. These plants thrive in warm, humid environments and prefer indirect sunlight. Anthuriums are also known for their air-purifying qualities, making them a great addition to indoor spaces. They require well-draining soil and regular watering to maintain their health and vibrant appearance.
