Anthuriums are slow growing when young and come from tissue culture, so this one arrives small and builds up its leaves before it flowers. The tube is supplied by our grower and is not on offer every week. A sold out tube means the grower has none at present, and the notify button on the page emails you the day it is back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlants travel upright and snug.
