Large heart shaped leaves set off purple-pink, peachy-red flowers (botanically spathes) in spring and autumn. Because anthuriums flower in shade, it works equally well in a tropical border and in a pot indoors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy you'll love it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour in shade.\u003c\/strong\u003e Anthuriums bloom without direct sun, so Anouk gives purple-pink and peachy-red flowers in the spots where most flowering plants would struggle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA polished finish.\u003c\/strong\u003e Both the heart shaped leaves and the flowers have a glossy, waxy surface that catches the light.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLong lasting cut flowers.\u003c\/strong\u003e The blooms hold up well in water, so a few stems can come inside without costing the plant its display.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo flowering seasons.\u003c\/strong\u003e Expect flowers in spring and again in autumn.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGarden or house.\u003c\/strong\u003e It suits tropical borders and underplanting as well as containers and indoor gardens.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere it works best\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTropical borders.\u003c\/strong\u003e Plant 60cm apart as a border or underplanting in a sheltered, shaded bed.

Re-pot container plants at the beginning of spring. All parts are poisonous, so wear gloves and avoid sap contact with skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat to expect when it arrives\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe sell Anouk Anthurium as tube stock, a young plant in an 80mm deep tube. Our grower supplies the tube stock and it is not always available. A sold out tube simply means the grower has none just now, and the notify button on the page emails you the day it is back. Anthuriums are slow growing when young and are raised from tissue culture, so supply is seasonal and limited. Expect a small young plant that will take time to bulk up. Unpack promptly, pot it up or plant it in a sheltered spot, and keep it warm and humid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlants are delivered Australia wide, with delivery from $29.95. Every plant is covered by our 30 day healthy plant guarantee.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePlant care guides and related reading\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indoor-flowering-plants\"\u003eIndoor flowering plants\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/tropical-plants\"\u003eMore tropical plants\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/blog\/how-to-keep-your-indoor-plants-alive\"\u003eHow to keep your indoor plants alive\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/pet-friendly-indoor-plants\"\u003ePet friendly indoor plants\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCommon questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs Anouk poisonous?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
