Greenhouse
for Anthurium Young Plants
Anthura has a unique greenhouse for the production of Anthurium young plants. Regal architecture and ultramodern techniques are typical features of this greenhouse. The design is inspired by the Royal Botanic Gardens of Kew in London and the complex includes modern innovative technologies which guarantee the optimum climate control in the greenhouse. As the greenhouse is fully equipped with the specific requirements of Anthurium young plants in mind, strong and healthy young plants are guaranteed.

Greenhouse
Demonstration
Anthura has a demonstration greenhouse, Anthura Flower, where growers can see over 200 Anthurium varieties for the cut flower and pot plant culture, including promising novelties. All varieties are carefully tested and inspected, as we attempt to determine the ideal cultivation conditions for each variety. Our experts continuously focus on the optimal climate conditions, fertilisation, air humidity, cultivation medium and plant care. Of course, growers should bear in mind their own climate conditions and adapt the circumstances in our demonstration greenhouse to their own.

Please contact our area managers if you would like to visit Anthura Flower. The greenhouse is located near our main office in Bleiswijk.

Young leaf breaking (YLB)

In collaboration with Bureau IMAC, Anthura has instigated a fundamental change in the traditional cultivation method of Anthurium cut flowers.
The new technology of young leaf breaking has been further developed in the last few years and it is almost impossible to imagine modern cultivation without this technique. The technique of removing the young leaves at an early stage while the older, hardened leaves are retained on the plant is nowadays more common practice than the exception. The new technique yields considerable advantages: Increase in flower size and quality. Higher production for most varieties as a result of a more efficient use of dry matter by the crop. Easy to adapt, increased efficiency Suitable for both young and older plants The advantages of this YLB technique vary according to the variety. See the extensive index in the back for advice on YLB. Innovation in the horticultural sector is evident; in the last few years, growers have already been successfully applying a new variant of this technique. Should you be interested in the latest developments in cultivation techniques, please contact Bureau IMAC for personalized advice or further information.
