A Concise Overview On White Anthurium Plants

By Keola Kawanako



White is surely an intriguing color. When you take all the hues of the rainbow and you combine them with each other you obtain the color white. White anthurium flowers were created by combining quite a few distinct anthurium varieties with each other. In fact, a white anthurium cultivar referred to as White Lady is the result of four different species which were bred with each other in 1987.

White Lady is an superb plant to nurture at home, due to the fact it makes an excellent potted plant. It's a quite compact plant so it's capable of growing in a small pot in a small amount of space. If taken care of nicely, it is going to produce six elongated tulip shaped flowers a year. Should you place these blooms into a vase, they are going to last as much as 25 days.

Other white and off-white varieties include: Pua Kea, Ellison, Sister Grace and Limelight. Many of these kinds of blossoms fall into the regular anthurium family as opposed to the tulip anthurium family like White Lady. Standard anthuriums are mid-sized blossoms that are heart shaped, while tulip anthuriums are more compact and of course tulip shaped.

White anthurium care is extremely simple. Place them near a sunny windowpane, but don't permit them to receive full-strength sun light or they'll become sun burned. Make certain that they are kept at a heat range of 70 to 80 degrees. Water them frequently, but make sure that their soil is always well drained. Apply a small amount of slow release fertilizer once or twice yearly.

White anthurium flowers may be arranged in quite a few ways. A straightforward arrangement might incorporate 6 to twelve blooms all by themselves. Far more complicated arrangements could incorporate whites and pinks; or whites, pinks and reds. You could also combine them with other blooms. They go really nicely with orchids and exotic leaves. In case you truly wish to push the envelope, you could arrange them with lilies, roses and red anthuriums.
