Yes they do grow outdoors here, but they need to be in filtered light. I have grown a couple of them out in my shadehouse garden, but they were both strangled by ferns. I now grow mine in pots.

Thank you for your answer Bushbernie.
I have the same problem with our ferns here on the Island.
We have two kinds which are attractive but very invasive. They even suffocated couple of my rhododendrons which I found dead when I was clearing the ferns out. Lots of seedlings everywhere.
Delovix2 (GOY member) grows several types of Anthuriums in his place in San Diego (US).
It is popular here as a "Christmas plant ",same as Poinsettia or Amaryllis.Not as much as indoor plant.

Klahanie, I've tried so many times to pull out the massive fern that takes over so many of the garden beds here, but it's a never-ending battle. They are a weed at my place!!
Anthuriums are a very popular indoor plant here because they're easy to look after. They don't need much water or fertiliser as long as they are in the right spot.

I also grow Anthurium (inside)and it is doing very well, pushing new flowers and leaves out constantly.
Can you grow it outdoors in your area Bushbernie?
