| Notes: | Anthurium rugulosum must not be kept too warm. The reason is explained by U.S. American Denis Rotolante, who cultivates many Aroids very successfully: "These plants may respire and burn more sugars on a warm night than they produce in photosynthesizing in the day light This causes a shortage of stored carbohydrates needed for growth and flowering. This contributes to a lack of vigor and produces weak, disease prone plants which do not flower, fruit or thrive." |
