• Two decades ago, Anthurium was cultivated largely as a cut flower crop. Now, Anthurium is internationally produced and traded as both cut flowers and potted blooming plants.
• Large Anthurium nurseries can be found the world over:
• The main Anthurium growing belts are the tropical areas of the world.
• Anthurium is a genus of more than 800 species found in the New World tropics from Mexico to northern Argentina and Uruguay; species are also native to the West Indies.
• They are grown for their brightly colored flower spathes and/or their ornamental leaves.
• Shading from Sunlight is Necessary for Normal Growth for Anthuriums.
• The Degree of Shading varies with the Cultivar, the Age of the Plant, and the climate under which it is grown. 
• The shade requirements usually range from 50% to 90% of full sunlight.
• Insufficient Shading often results in damage to leaves and flowers, and may cause plant death. 
• Damage to flowers include fading of Spathes (especially pastels) and Burning of Spadices. 
• Many producers use saran cloth houses supported with lumber or galvanized pipes and wire. 
• Fertilizing should not be an issue for quite a few months. 
• If you are going to fertilize, use a light solution of a 3:1:2 ratio and it is probably best to dilute to 1/4 strength.
• New plants are established by dividing the roots in the spring and potting the separated pieces.
