The variegation of cream speckles on its bright green, long and narrow leaves gives this anthurium a decorative look. It got its nickname, Birdnest Anthurium, because in the wild it produces whimsically shaped flowers that resemble a nesting bird. It is not complicated to care for, as long as you consider its need for high humidity.
