Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Anthurium spectabile is one of the best pendulate foliage plants I have seen. The leaves are green and usually 4 inches to 1 foot wide and can grow to over 8 feet long. It is usually found growing as an epiphyte in trees with it's huge leaves hanging down many feet. A great plant for hanging baskets or mounted. Plants are small suckers off of mother plant in 3 inch terrarium dome pots.
