Anthurium andraeanum Linden ex André

Anthurium is a popular genus of the Araceae (order Spathiflorae) as a cut-flower and pot-plant ornamental due to its attractive long-lasting inflorescences. Leaf color is one of the well-sought traits in breeding programs for A. andraeanum, a commercial ornamental plant. Knowledge of mechanisms in anthuriums to produce leaves with different shades of green would help effectively select desirable traits. These flowers come in various shades, including red, pink, white, and green, each with its own meaning. The actual flowers are small and inconspicuous, but they are surrounded by colorful, modified leaves called spathes, which give the plant its eye-catching appearance. The spathes of Anthurium are heart-shaped or elongated and can be brightly colored, making them resemble a waxy, plastic-like material. These spathes can persist for weeks or months, adding a vibrant touch to your indoor space.
