    This is probably my favorite Anthurium. The veining in the foliage literally sparkles. Can be grown indoors or outside in a protected area so as to protect the leaves from wind damage. If grown inside, it should be misted at least once daily to provide the humidity it likes. I've been feeding it every month half-strength with Jack's 20/20/20 and have the first bloom coming now. Potted it in a mix of Orchid Bark, extra chunky perlite with a little potting soil mixed in. It needs excellent drainage, so take care to make sure your mix allows water to drain through.
