Illegal traffic of Anthurium and other aroids extracted in nature is very common, so try to be sure plants you buy are not participating to this abomination, you could be part of it and put them in danger of extinction in their native habitas. Colombia.

Comme beaucoup d'amoureux des plantes, je suis de plus en plus admiratif et passionné du genre Anthurium et autres genres de la famille Araceae, très diversifiés dans les forêts colombiennes. Cependant, le traffic illégal de plantes extraites en milieu sauvage est très commun, donc renseignez vous bien avant d'acheter des plantes car vous pourriez participer á les mettre en dangers d'extinction dans leurs habitats naturels.

Así como muchos amantes de las plantas, estoy cada vez mas admirativo y apasionado por el genero Anthurium y otros géneros de Araceae, bastante diversificado en los bosques colombianos. Sin embargo, el trafico ilegal de plantas extraídas del medio natural es bastante común, de allí por favor intenten verificar la procedencia si compren plantas para no participar de esa abominación puesto que podría ponerlos en peligro de extinción en sus hábitats naturales.
