Hello!  
I want to start getting into some forgiving anthuriums. I have some requirements, though, and would like some suggestions on what kinds to get and tips for anthuriums care!

The “peace lily” anthurium I do not like. We’re enemies. I’ve attached a picture of the type I’m talking about.

Instead, I want to start getting into ones with interesting leaves, with little to no flowers.

I’m great with alocasias and decent at calatheas, if that info is helpful for making suggestions.

I have a greenhouse and I have normal shelving options both with a natural and grow light combo.

I’d also like to buy smaller plants because I have more fun with them than larger ones (and I like to take credit for their growth 🤭).

Thanks!!!

Do you have Palmstreet? Plantaddicted\_cass is wond wonderful on there, and can find something that would fit your needs. She sells mostly seedlings 2-5 leaf size. Ive literally described a look im wanting and she'll hunt it down in her seedlings 😆 🤣

Clarnervium is the easiest anthurium. Past that crystallinum are pretty easy. I would say try to stay away from any species that frequent water lines, they generally need ridiculous humidity and are finicky. Like papillilaminum or luxurians. If you like Strappy, bakeri and anthurium vittarifolium variegated are cool. Id probably skip Queen/ warocquean... did not spell that right. King/ veitchii have been good in ambient for me, as well as metallicum

Awesome, thank you :)

The king has been doing great in ambient. And if you like a textured leaf, it's a good grower
