Description

Anthurium andraeanum, commonly known as the “Flamingo Flower” is a striking and popular tropical plant appreciated for its glossy, heart-shaped leaves and unique, long-lasting vibrant blooms, along with extended bloom periods. Native to the rainforests of Central and South America, they are hardy epiphytes, and are highly adaptable to indoor environments. They do best in bright, indirect light, preferring well-draining soil that can maintain moisture without becoming waterlogged. Direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, and a drafty area can cause dry spots, so avoid those conditions. They always appreciate extra humidity, and do not prefer temperatures below 65. There are a variety of cultivars with different bloom colors and shapes, that can suit many preferences. Anthurium are lovely specimens great for beginners and plant enthusiasts alike.
