Latin name: Anthurium hybrid (known as “Delta Force”)
Common name: Anthurium Delta Force
This striking hybrid is admired for its large, arrow-shaped leaves with pronounced venation. The foliage often has a leathery, semi-velvety texture with a deep green hue, giving the plant a bold and commanding presence—hence the name “Delta Force.” 🌿
FLOWER DETAILS
Like most foliage anthuriums, flowers are not the main feature. The plant produces a spadix with a surrounding spathe, usually in pale green to cream shades. Blooms are subtle, long-lasting, and secondary to the spectacular leaves. 🌸
CARE INSTRUCTIONS

💧 Water: Keep soil slightly moist but allow the top layer to dry before watering again. Do not let roots sit in water.

🌱 Growth rate: Moderate; new leaves emerge every few months, with size increasing as the plant matures.
