Family: Araceae
A houseplant with dramatic green foliage, large showy red spathe, and coiled orange flower spike. Smaller than Anthurium andraeanum, it's easier to grow and tolerates lower temperatures. Can grow to 2 feet tall. Likes a warm and humid atmosphere in light shade. As basically an epiphytic plant, grow it in a porous soil mix and keep it moist but not soaked. Fertilize monthly in the warmer months for good growth. Reduce watering in the winter. Winter temperature should be 60 F or higher. Outside in Zones 10 to 12. Native to Costa Rica.
