Anthurium hookeri is a species of Anthurium typically referred to as "Bird's Nest" due to their growth habit, which can sometimes resemble that of a bird's nest. The leaves are oblong with distinct veins, occasionally (these are from variegated stock) displaying variegation throughout the leaves.
Anthurium hookeri makes a great indoor plant due to its compact nature. They tend to grow more as a bush. They produce thick roots which can sometimes crawl right out of the pot!
Caring for your Anthurium hookeri is simple. Provide your new plant with a well draining soil that is rich in organic matter. Allow the soil to dry out almost completely between watering, taking care to not allow it to dry out completely or sit in excess water. Give your plant plenty of bright indirect light.
