Shady spots aren't a problem - they're an opportunity

Most tropical gardens have at least one corner that gets morning light,
filtered sun, or just bright shade - and that's exactly where Anthuriums thrive, along with many other shade-loving plants. That makes them ideal for spaces where other
tropicals struggle.
Don't have a greenhouse? You don't need one. Anthuriums do beautifully
on a shaded porch, in a screened lanai, or even indoors near a north or
east-facing window. They're perfect for:
Bathrooms with natural light
Bright kitchens with indirect sun
Shaded entryways or under eaves
Hanging baskets under tree cover
Mounting on cork or wood in humid areas
Even a small space can feel like a tropical conservatory with the right
plant - and Anthuriums bring that look without being demanding. They grow
slowly, stay manageable, and don't need constant pruning or repotting.
Best of all, they reward consistency. Keep them warm, give them some
humidity, water when the top inch feels dry, and they'll stay healthy for years.
No drama - just quiet, lasting beauty.
If you've never grown tropicals in the shade, this is where to start.
