Anthurium besseae grows very well as an indoor plant and requires minimal care, making it an excellent choice for the home or office environment.

This is besseae aff, which is the abbreviated form of the latin word "affinis".  This means that it is not the true species A. besseae, but one that is very closely related and looks nearly identical.

Anthurium besseae care:

This Anthurium prefers a well draining soil that is rich in organic matter.  Allow the soil to dry out almost completely before watering, taking care to not allow it to sit in excess water or stay wet for a long period.  Provide your new Anthurium plant with plenty of medium to bright indirect light for optimal growth.  The lower the light, the darker the leaves will be.
