Anthurium Originally brought to Hawaii in 1889 from Columbia by an English missionary, Samuel Damon. Many Anthurium species exist which are in the family Areceae that includes the genus philodendron and Monstera.
Anthuriums grow best in hothouses with controlled humidity.
The ideal place here in Hawaii to grow these heart shaped gems is the windward side of the Big Island. There are over 1400 species of dendrobium orchids with numerous hybrids. The genus ranges from New Zealand to India. Their ease of cultivation, long flowering season, and healthy blossoms are the primary reasons for their gaining popularity and spread of use. Most Hawaiian farmers grow the tough hybrids whose blossoms are purple or white.
