Amnicola Anthuriums: What Are They?

Amnicola, or Tulip, anthuriums come from the exotic South American nation of Panama. In the wild, they prefer to grow on boulders which are located next to rivers. I assume they enjoy chilling out by rivers, much like fly fishermen do.

They're a most excellent variety of anthurium, simply because they have a pleasing, sweet-smelling fragrance and they may produce up to eight blossoms per year. Moreover, they make superb indoor plants, due to the fact they're small and don't use up plenty of space.

They're an interesting variety of anthurium mainly because of the unique shape of their flowers. Instead of being heart shaped, similar to most other anthuriums, they're tulip shaped. They have light purple petals and dark purple noses. I'm keen on how they're like regular tulip flower with a tropical ambiance. Pure-breed Amnicola generate small, dark-green, spade shaped leaves and modest blossoms with small stems that typically max out at twelve inches long.

Amnicola has frequently been hybridized with Anthurium Andraeanum to provide many different flower colors, which may include: red, purple, green, pink, lavender, fuschia and white. Pure-breed amnicola and hybrid amnicola can both generate up to 8 blooms per year, which means that your amnicola may have blossoms on it year round. It also produces offshoots very readily, so it is perfect in the event you need to make additional plants. You just need to permit offshoots to develop for a while and when they're large enough you can split them from the parent plant and put them into their very own pots.

Some of the hybrids can have fascinating names including Lady Jane, Misty Pink, Pink Champagne and Pink Elf. Others have less original names, including: Andraecola-1 and Andraecola-2. These names were produced by taking the first part of Andraeanum along with the last part of Amnicola and putting them together. Needless to say, these will almost certainly be granted new, and better, names, sooner or later.
