General

A companion that will keep you thrilled. That's the Anthurium, also known as the Flamingo Plant. This exciting pot plant, which originates from South America, fits well in any interior; the Flamingo Plant adds something extra to any setting, whether classic or modern. Recurring leaves and flowers will be your reward for a little attention.

Care

The Flamingo plant requires little care. Keep the root ball moist, especially in the summer. During the winter, the plant requires less water. Prevent the soil from drying out completely since the Anthurium is used to wet feet. Regular spraying boosts the health of the plant.

Stand

A bright location, away from direct sunlight. These are the conditions which the Flamingo plant enjoys. Too much sunlight leads to brown edges or a yellow hue on the flowers and leaves. Is the Anthurium receiving too little sunlight? In that case the flowers will come out green.

Potting

Repot the Anthurium once every two years or once the pot has become too small. Do this preferably in the spring in order that damaged roots may quickly recover. You can also repot the plant immediately after purchase.
