Anthurium

Anthuriums, also known as flamingo flowers or laceleaf, are popular indoor plants known for their glossy, heart-shaped leaves and striking red, white, or pink spathes (the modified leaves surrounding the flower)

Light

• Prefers Bright, indirect light.

• Tolerates low light to medium light, but flowering may be limited in lower light conditions.

Humidity

• Ideal Humidity: 60% or higher.

• Tips: Anthuriums love humidity, so if your indoor environment is dry, increase humidity by using a humidifier, placing the pot on a tray of pebbles with water, or misting the leaves occasionally.

Watering

• Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil are dry.

• In Winter: Water less frequently, as the plant’s growth slows down during the colder months.

Fertilizing

•  Feed during the growing season (spring and summer), about once a month.

•  Use a balanced liquid fertilizer (e.g., 20-20-20) or one specifically formulated for flowering plants.

• Avoid Fertilizing In the fall and winter, as the plant’s growth slows and it needs less nutrition.

Blooming

• Anthuriums can bloom year-round in ideal conditions, especially if they’re getting the right light, humidity, and nutrients.

• Spathes: The spathes can last for several weeks before fading. After flowering, prune the spent spathes to encourage fresh blooms.
