FlowerCommercial Varieties: Tropical Red, Fire, Sensazione, Pistache
Cultivation Overview & Commercial Scope
Anthuriums are tropical evergreen perennials prized for their distinctive heart-shaped spathes and long vase life. Based on PHAE Global's real project economics for a 4000 sq. meter (1 Acre) Naturally Ventilated Polyhouse under MIDH norms, anthurium cultivation provides outstanding recurring annual income with steady corporate and export market demand.
