Anthurium
The White Anthurium is a rare coluration of the “Flamingo” flower. The plant is easy to care for and flowers come back each year if the plant is cared for well. Anthuriums are epiphytic, meaning they grows on other trees. The leaves are lush, green and glossy. A few species are grown purely for their attractive foliage, boldly veined with silver.
A perfect ornamental plant for your plant of your office. According to Fen Shui Anthuriums are lucky plants and they bring good luck in your relationships.
