Talk:Anthurium

message: The linked List_of_Anthurium_species needs major, major editing; it contains spelling errors, unpublished species names, and who knows what else. (I have neither the time nor inclination to do it myself; personally I don't see any need to include such a list in the first place, when somewhat authoritative references outside Wikipedia can be linked instead.)

message: The article had the following paragraph added:
"Anthurium as a pot plant also has an air purifying effect. Anthurium is not the only houseplant with that positive characteristic, but the big advantage of an anthurium is that its blooming shelve life is very long in time. This distinguishes an anthurium from other flowering plants. The air purifying qualities of Anthurium have an effect on formaldehyde, ammonia and volatile organic gases. Several anthuriums in a room reduce the harmful substances in buildings by more than 50% in 24 hours." 
This is highly misleading and a propagation of the common idea that Anthurium has some abnormal air cleaning ability. In fact, the original study at NASA from which this idea originated  said "for vitually all plants tested, the reductions in benzene and formaldehyde were significant". the later study that looked specifically at Anthurium  found it was pretty middle of the road among houseplants. See also the NASA Clean Air Study. I'm updating the article to reflect this. --Anuran (talk) 08:28, 4 August 2018 (UTC)

message: I've completely copyedited the main article, and am currently working on the sections.  I'll eventually get around to the list, and I hope to make it current - I'll try to base it on TROPICOS rather than Kew, since the latter has a lot of obsolete taxonomy kicking around on it.  I'd defend keeping the list - these are interesting plants, and the list would provide an easy linkup to the species; this furthers the encyclopaedic content thing.

message: The picture on top of the article is most certainly not a "white Anthurium," but instead a spathiphyllum, commonly known as "peace lily."Jlee562 (talk) 22:02, 2 July 2013 (UTC)

Wanted to add slang names for the above plant.
Slang term in South Africa - Randy Choir Boy.

replies: text: If there are reliable sources that discuss the slang terms, they could probably be added, but it might be best to consider this the start of a discussion to determine if it's worth including these names. If you want more help, change the  back into a , stop by the Teahouse, or Wikipedia's live help channel, or the help desk to ask someone for assistance. Primefac (talk) 19:49, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
