What polyhouse conditions and income can I expect from anthurium cut flower?

Anthurium needs a shaded, humid, warm environment, so a shade net house or polyhouse with high humidity and good drainage suits it, and humid states like Kerala have a natural advantage. It is grown on raised beds or in pots with a well drained medium like coir and it flowers more or less round the year once established, giving a steady trickle of spathes rather than a single flush. Income depends on flower size, colour grade and the rate, which is a wide range and varies by market, so verify current anthurium prices with your buyer before planning. The plants are slow to come into full production, so expect a build up period. The strength of anthurium is its long vase life and steady demand from decorators and florists, so a regular city buyer matters more than chasing peak rates.
