About

Anthurium scandens is a distinctive, slender epiphytic climber native to the tropical forests of Mexico, the Caribbean, and South America. It is widely recognized for its unique habit of ascending trees using adventitious roots that grip moss and bark surfaces. The plant produces delicate, small, elliptic to ovate leaves and is particularly noted for its production of small, vibrant red berries. Highly valued by collectors for its graceful vining habit, it thrives best in environments that mimic its natural humid and warm forest habitat.
