Botanical Name: Anthurium andraeanum (White variety)
Common Name(s): White Anthurium, White Flamingo Flower, White Laceleaf, Painter's Palette

The Anthurium White is a beloved tropical plant known for its striking, glossy blooms and dark green, leathery foliage. The White variety of Anthurium stands out for its pure white spathes, which beautifully encircle the central spadix (flower spike), creating an elegant and sophisticated appearance. Native to the tropical rainforests of Central and South America, Anthurium plants are epiphytic by nature, thriving in the understory where they receive filtered light and high humidity.

Indoors, the Anthurium White variety typically grows to a height of 18–24 inches and has a spread of about 12–18 inches. The plant produces long-lasting white blooms that can appear year-round in optimal conditions, with each spathe lasting several weeks. The white flowers contrast beautifully against the dark, glossy green leaves, adding a touch of elegance to any room.

This variety prefers bright, indirect light, but can tolerate lower light levels, though this may reduce the plant's blooming frequency and vigor. It thrives in well-draining, slightly acidic potting mix and requires consistent moisture during the growing season, but the soil should be allowed to dry out slightly between waterings to prevent root rot. To encourage the best blooms, regular misting or placing the plant in a high-humidity environment (such as a bathroom or kitchen) can be beneficial.

This plant is relatively easy to care for, making it a great choice for both beginner and seasoned plant enthusiasts. It is also known for its air-purifying qualities, helping to clean and freshen the indoor environment.

Note: This Anthurium is toxic to humans and pets which can cause irritation and discomfort if ingested or touched.
