🤍 The Elegant White Anthurium (A. andraeanum 'Karma White')

The Anthurium 'Karma White' is a magnificent and elegant indoor plant that effortlessly enhances any space. It is a prized houseplant known by its common name, the Flamingo Flower. Originally from the lush rainforests of Colombia, this plant is known for being both a stylish addition to décor and remarkably low-maintenance.

Flowering and Color

The Anthurium's signature "flower" is actually a modified leaf called a spathe. This spathe is vibrant, heart-shaped, and glossy, and in this case, is a beautiful, clean White. The true flowers are minute and located on the central spike (the spadix). Its ability to produce these striking, long-lasting blooms almost all year round makes it highly valued.

Foliage and Form

The true leaves are a glossy, deep green and are themselves heart-shaped, giving the plant a lush and attractive appearance. This plant is a fantastic choice for indoor décor, standing at a height of approximately 45 cm. It is an evergreen species, retaining its vibrant foliage and blooms all year.

Height and Spines

The plant maintains a tidy, upright, and bushy growth habit. This plant does not have thorns or spines.

Care and Requirements

This versatile plant is easy to care for and thrives in half-shade or partial shade, which means it prefers filtered light or bright, indirect sunlight. Its ability to thrive in low-light conditions makes it perfect for interior spaces. It is also an air-purifying plant, helping to improve indoor air quality.

Watering and Scent

The Anthurium requires minimal watering, which is a great feature for busy enthusiasts. The key is to avoid overwatering; allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings, ensuring it is evenly moist but not saturated. The plant is not known for a strong fragrance.

Note: The Anthurium is strictly for ornamental purposes and is not edible. Like all plants in the Arum family, it contains calcium oxalate crystals. This makes the plant toxic if ingested, potentially causing painful irritation and swelling of the mouth, throat, and digestive system. Please ensure it is kept safely out of reach of pets and children.
