Chinese English 不要为电离红掌中和正负电荷的能力而感到惊讶，看看兄弟俩全部都是满分的物理试卷你就明白了。但是它俩却始终无法理解对方的想法，比如在选择戴什么颜色的领带、在看纪录片还是电视剧、在去印度餐厅还是中餐厅约会这样的问题上。不过他们也明白，缺了对方，他们谁也不是操纵闪电的天才。 Don't be surprised by Ampthurium's positive and negative electrical knowledge, just look at the two brothers' excellent physics exam scores and you will understand. Yet, they could never understand each other, such as choosing which tie to wear; whether to watch a documentary or a drama; or to go to an Indian restaurant or a Chinese restaurant for a date. At least, they know that without each other, neither of them could wield their electrical charges.

Ampthurium (电离红掌; pinyin: diànlí hóng zhǎng) is the third plant obtained in Sky City in the Chinese version of Plants vs. Zombies 2. They fire electrical balls at zombies. They also absorb the lightning that strikes during gameplay of Sky City, removing the positive or negative charge from plants in 3x3 area and unleashing a powerful attack using that lightning. They are an environment modifier.

Origins

Ampthurium are based on anthurium.

Their name comes from "anthurium", the real-life plant they're based on and "amp", short for ampere.

Strategies

This plant is recommended in Sky City because they can remove the electric charges of the plants. However, never rely on their attack because it is very very weak. Their upgrades are also optional, because the main use of Ampthurium is to remove the electric charges. It is also not recommended to use them outside of Sky City.
