Anthuriums are a collection of over 1,000 different species that hail from the Caribbean and  Central and South America. Different species within the genus are epiphytic (grow on trees in nature) or terrestrial (grow on the ground). Anthuriums are generally an upright plant, meaning they don't tend to trail or vine and will stay upright as they mature. While the Anthurium Andreanum is one of the most famous Anthuriums, due to its popularity in floral arrangements and gift baskets, there are many others that are great additions to any houseplant collection. 

Native to southern Mexico, Anthurium Fingers is a coveted addition to any household. Its distinctive foliage resembles a human hand, with glossy, dark green leaves sprouting from a central stalk. While younger plants may have only a few "fingers," mature plants can boast up to a dozen on each stalk!

Basic Care Notes: Bright, indirect light-- avoid direct light! Water when top 1-2 inches of soil feels dry to the touch-- never let this plant completely dry out. Anthurium Fingers can be planted in a well-draining soil of peat moss, perlite, and orchid bark. This plant appreciates warm temperatures and high humidity. A gentle houseplant fertilizer can be applied in spring and summer to help promote growth!
