In order to identify a variety of Anthurium, it is necessary to understand the various parts of an Anthurium flower and a plant. Following figure gives the details of different parts of an Anthurium plant.
Parts of an Anthurium Plant and a Flower
When you closely observe the Anthurium plants of different varieties; you, your self, can understand how their various qualities vary from variety to variety. Also, with the same variety, still you will find variation of qualities with the age of the flower and the leaves. Mainly you can give your attention to following qualities;
Color of the Leaves
Although the color of the Anthurium leaves are normally green, it varies with the variety. Most common colors are greenish and reddish colors. Also, the young leaves are having light colors and with the age, the color of leaves get darker. When young leaves are red color, with the age, the reddish color turns to green or reddish green. New leaves are shiny and with the time, the shine of the leaves get reduced.
Shape of the Leaves
Different Anthurium varieties are having different shapes for
their leaves. The most common shape is
heart shape. Sometimes, the leave is cup
shaped rather than flat. Certain
varieties have longer leaves. In
addition, the form of the veins and the mid rib varies with the variety.
In the case of a small plant, there are no flowers and
therefore, the qualities of the leaves mainly help to identify a plant.
Color of Spathe
Color of spathe varies from variety to variety. You would observe, mainly, there are number
of common colors such as white, red, pink, yellow, black, green, and so
on. When you take one of the color,
still you will find a large number of varieties with same color, but with
slight variations. At the same time,
one can observe some varieties with a mix of two or more colors. Most of the time, they have two colors and they
are named as by-color varieties.
By Color varieties of Anthurium
Although, one identifies a variety with the color of its
spathe, this color of the Spathe also changes with the age of the flower. One good example is shown with the photograph
given below. Flower 1 is a young flower
and its spathe has a bright, uniform and clear color. When it is getting old (Flower 2), the brightness
has reduced and the color is being faded away.
Also some different colors are adding to the spathe. When the flower is getting older (Flower 3) the
most of its original color and brightness has gone and it is now with a
different color. More than that,
softness of the spathe has reduced and the spathe is getting hard with the age.
Shape of Spathe
Not only the color, but also the shape of spathe varies from variety to variety. There are several common shapes such as Ribbon Shape, heart shape, Cup shape, Tulip Shape etc. Also, there are certain varieties with little different to these shapes.
Color and texture of the Spadix
The spadix of the Anthurium is an interesting thing. Although we say an Anthurium Flower, what we
see as a whole is not really the flower. The real flowers are on the surface of the
Spadix, a bunch of flowers. There are a
larger number of flowers. Once the spathe
opens up, flowers like some small granular parts are forming on the Spadix and flowers
on the spadix start blooming from bottom of the spadix. With time, blooming
spreads towards the top of the spadix.
Therefore, just after opening the spathe, the spadix has a very tender
and uniform color and it is very soft. After
some time, part of the spadix has bloomed and balance part is yet to be
bloomed. This can be felt when one
touches or watches the spadix. Then, the
Spadix is in two color and there are two textures on the Spadix. This change is used to decide the correct
time of cutting an Anthurium flower so that the
Anthurium cut flower can be kept for a maximum period without changing its
quality. The change of Spadix with the
time can be easily understand with the following photographs. After pollination of flowers, seeds are
formed on the Spadix.
Further, it has been observed that the tip of the spadix
changes and sometimes it is flat and sometimes pointed shape
Changes of colors and roughness of Spathe and Spadix with the age of the Flower
Color of the stalk
Stalk of the Anthurium flower and leaves take different colors in different varieties. Like the other parts of the plant, the stalk also is having a tender color when the flower or the leave is young and it gets darker or color change when it is older.
It has been found that Anthurium varieties with reddish or
blackish Spathe, their stalk and younger roots also show similar colors.
Now the important thing is that you need to understand and get the experience of these variations of different varieties in order to identify a certain variety of Anthurium. Because of these variations, there are thousands of varieties of Anthurium found in the world and therefore, Anthurium is so colorful and beautiful. Due to the change of colors of the flower, leaves and the stalk with the age, you will find a number of different colors in the same plant which gives a Georges look. So, it is well suited for any residential decorations, using cut flowers or as an indoor plant, and for any ceremonial occasion. Due to this reason, Anthurium flowers and plants are having a great demand in the international market.
The categorization of Anthurium has been done in different manner i.e.: based of the origin, usage and physical appearance of the flower and the foliage.
The Anthurium specie is an herbaceous epiphytes which means, originally, the plant grows on trees. They absorb necessary nutrients from air, water and decayed material accumulated around the plant. Anthurium belongs to the Arum family (Araceae). Mainly there are two Anthurium species, namely the Anthurium Scherzerianum and the Anthurium Andreanum.

Anthurium Andreanum is different from Anthurium Scherzerianum with its way of flowering and blossoming, and the arrangement of the flowers on the stalks. The spathe is having a heart shape and its flowering spike is thick and straight.

Categorization of Anthurium has been done due to various reasons. Anthurium is an item that spreads very rapidly all over the world. Although one plant is given a specific name due to scientific reasons or based on the locality of the origin or as a hybrid variety, the same name is very differently used in other part of the world that they made them their own because people love Anthurium so much. Because of that, one variety of plant can be categorized under more than one group. Following are some of the several such types;
Lady Jane Anthurium
This is a type of Anthurium developed in Hawaii in the early stages of producing hybrid varieties and their flowers are smaller and more narrow than other types. The color of the spathe is light red and spadix, white or pink. The stem is long and narrow. But now a days, the name Lady Jane is commonly used for a series of Anthurium varieties with similar shape and size. This type can be easily cultivated in tropical countries. Propagation of Lady Jane plants are successful by dividing rhizomes, tubers, corms or bulbs. Plant does not set seed, flowers are sterile, or plants will not come true from seeds.
Cut Flower Anthurium and Potted Anthurium
Cut flower is a flower or a bud which is separated from the mother plant. This name is not specific to Anthurium and it is relevant for many other flowers. Cut flower is required when it is necessary to use the flower in place other than in the mother plant it self, specially for decorative purposes. Normally cut flowers are used in vases or used to decorate various locations like offices, wedding halls, auditoriums etc. and some times used to offer as gifts.
After separated from the mother plant, most of the flowers cannot maintain their quality for more than a few days. But, specialty of Anthurium is that the cut flowers can be kept for more than three weeks without changing its original quality when the flower is plucked at the right time. So they can be easily transported to distance places and even overseas without damaging the flower. Also there are many treatments that can be adopted to increase the life time of the cut flower. Therefore, there is a big demand for Anthurium cut flower in the international market.
There are many types of Anthurium cultivated for cut flowers and normally the size of the plant and the flower are comparatively larger. So it is difficult to cultivate them in pots. Also, there are certain varieties which relatively small its plant and the flower, and hence they can be cultivated in pots and known as potted Anthurium. The potted Anthuriums are frequently used for decorating and indoor landscaping as they are attractive and looks beautiful as the whole plant. They have an unprecedented flowering span, and remarkably easy to care for.
