» Feature Writer Robert Dailey - Desert plant?

In response to Desert plant? posted by rdrisdelle:


I love anthurium. It is a very large genus and there are many many varieties.
It grows wild in northern parts of South America and in parts of Central America. It has been found in mountain rain forests as well as semi-arid areas, so technically, it's not a desert plant. However, it does have remarkable adaptive abilities. During times of drought, it will curl its leaves into a cuplike structure to allow it to catch and retain more water.
Sounds as though it likes to be where it is.
