An everlasting alternative is the Anthurium plant. The foliage is shiny and dark green, while the heart-shaped flowers (actually spathe) are very showy and long lasting. Anthuriums require little care, and bloom almost continuously in good conditions. Always cut off yellowing or dry leaves and spent flowers in order to help production of new buds. Light and Temperature: Anthuriums like bright light but not direct sunlight. Lower levels of light may slow down or cease flower production. The foliage type species will tolerate lower light levels as they grow in some of the shadiest areas in their natural habitat. Leaves emerging under lower light may stretch and/or become distorted Anthuriums are tropical plants so they grow best with temperatures of around 65—75F. Too cool temperatures (below 50 F) can result in slow growth and yellowing of lower leaves. Soil: Anthuriums prefer a growing media that is coarse and well drained. The soil should be settled firmly around the roots and the root system should fill the pot before the plant is stepped up to a larger pot size. Water: Water thoroughly, then allow the top couple of inches of soil to dry before re-watering. Mist daily to increase humidity and keep out of drafts. Do not allow soil to become soggy as that encourages fungal infections. Fertilizer: Anthuriums are not heavy feeders. From March through September, feed once a month with a liquid fertilizer diluted to quarter strength.
