In the garden
Anthurium 'Anthaxima'PBR is a compact member of the Araceae sold for indoor ornamental use. As an evergreen, it retains its leaves year-round and is intended for a sheltered, bright location; it is not hardy outdoors in typical UK conditions. The cultivar's compact habit suits pot culture where flowering can be appreciated close to eye level. Grow 'Anthaxima'PBR in a loam-based, acid medium that holds moderate moisture but drains freely. Position the pot in a south-facing spot with plenty of light; the plant tolerates full sun when sheltered from cold winds. Maintain even, moderate moisture rather than allowing the mix to dry out completely or to remain waterlogged. Routine feeding while actively growing will support spathe production during the flowering season. Hardiness is H1a (tender), so plants must be kept frost-free — indoors, in a heated conservatory or similar sheltered environment. Use this Anthurium where its seasonal spathes can be seen up close: a bright windowsill, a south-facing conservatory bench or as a container feature in an indoor plant display. Expect flowering from June to October when cultural conditions are warm and bright, which is the best indicator that Anthurium 'Anthaxima'PBR is performing well.
