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.
