{"product_id":"anthurium-veitchii","title":"Anthurium veitchii","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNative to the tropical forests of Colombia, Anthurium veitchii earns its “King Anthurium” nickname through its spectacular, elongated foliage. Its glossy green leaves develop deep horizontal ridges, creating a beautifully pleated texture that becomes more pronounced as the plant matures. In favorable conditions, mature leaves can exceed three feet in length, cascading downward in an impressive display. This species naturally grows as an epiphyte on trees, where its roots receive plenty of airflow and moisture without sitting in dense soil. Give it an airy growing medium and room for its hanging leaves, and it makes a striking centerpiece for a tropical collection.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e☀️ \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLight\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBright, indirect light.
