Flower diameter — Anthurium andraeanum

Anthurium-Andreanum-Hybriden

To evaluate Anthurium andraeanum, standardized parameters of spathe length and width are used instead of the concept of "flower diameter," forming the basis of the DUS testing methodology.

In the reference 7 varieties crop Anthurium, where this is mentioned in the description.

In the professional agrotechnology of Anthurium andraeanum, the term "flower diameter" is not applied, as the inflorescence consists of a spadix and a modified leaf, the spathe. According to variety testing methodologies, the key parameters are spathe length, measured from the base to the tip, and width, determined at the widest point.

Spathe sizes are classified as small (less than 8 cm), medium (8–12 cm), and large (more than 12 cm). The genetic characteristics of a variety determine the size potential; however, the final metrics depend heavily on agrotechnical factors, including light intensity, planting density, fertigation regime, and substrate quality.
