Anthurium SP Climber is very similar to Anthurium scandens and may be a slightly larger clone or a very similar species. The plant was originally collected out of the wild. The flowers are held up above the foliage with a brown spadix. The flower rarely produces berries but they are white if ripen. The plant forms a rosette of leaves and then slowly starts to climb. It would be good for terrariums, vivariums or in a greenhouse. The plant for sale is in a 3 inch square. Foliage: Small paddle leaves, 4 inches to 8 inches long Flowers: Small brown spadix with white berries Height: Climber
