This stunning houseplant sports big, beautifully patterned, heart-shaped leaves, making it one of the most exciting houseplants to hit the market.

Caring for this tropical plant is a breeze, once you get to know it and understand its native habitat. Here you'll discover how to grow this beauty indoors.

Velvety, dark-green leaves with daringly bold veins make Anthurium clarinervium a stunning room accent. Spectacularly heart-shaped, the dramatic leaves grow about 1-ft (30 cm) wide in its native habitat, but will likely stay smaller when grown indoors.

Add your houseplant to a grouping, if you want. Whether displayed by itself or added to an indoor jungle, this dazzling beauty is sure to grab attention.

In its native rainforest habitat, Anthurium grows as an epiphyte (a plant that grows on other plants), clinging to tree branches with its aerial roots. High humidity, frequent rains and free-flowing air help to keep this plant hydrated without staying soggy. And it thrives in the same warm temperatures that we do.

I'll just say it up-front, Anthurium clarinervium won't tolerate being wet and cold.

Here are the keys to success with this houseplant:

• Don't over-water.
• Keep plant warm, year-round.
• Don't mist or drip water on leaves.
• Give your houseplant indirect light.
