Anthuriums: Overview

Bring a burst of color and elegance to your home with Anthuriums, one of the most striking tropical houseplants available. Known as the Flamingo Flower or Flamingo Lily, these vibrant plants are loved for their glossy, heart-shaped leaves and long-lasting, waxy blooms that stand out year-round.

Native to the rainforests of Central and South America, Anthurium plants thrive indoors when given the right conditions. While they’re relatively easy to maintain, proper Anthurium plant care is key to keeping them healthy and blooming. These plants symbolize hospitality, abundance, and love, making them a meaningful gift as well as a stylish decor choice.

It’s worth noting that Anthuriums are considered toxic if ingested by pets or people, so placement is important. With their tropical beauty, symbolic meaning, and air-purifying qualities, Anthuriums are more than just plants. They’re living works of art that elevate any room.

Anthuriums Care: Growing Guide

With the right approach, Anthuriums reward you with lush foliage and stunning blooms throughout the year. While they’re not overly demanding, learning the essentials of Anthurium plant care will keep your Flamingo Flower thriving indoors. 

Watering, Light, Humidity, and Temperature

Anthuriums prefer consistently moist soil, but they dislike sitting in water. Bright, indirect light keeps the plant blooming without scorching its leaves. They thrive in higher humidity levels and prefer temperatures between 65–80°F, making them perfect for warm, indoor environments.

Reporting, Soil, and Feeding

Repot Anthuriums every two to three years to refresh their growing medium and allow room for new roots. Use a light, well-draining potting mix rich in organic matter. Feed with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer monthly during the growing season to support blooms. 

Propagation

Anthuriums are commonly propagated through division. Gently separate mature plants at the root level, ensuring each section has healthy roots and leaves. Repot the divisions in fresh soil, water well, and keep them in a warm, humid environment until established.  

Pruning, Cleaning, and Common Issues

Remove faded blooms and yellowing leaves to encourage fresh growth and maintain the plant’s appearance. Wipe the leaves regularly to remove dust and keep them glossy. Watch for pests like aphids and mealybugs, and avoid overwatering to prevent root rot and leaf yellowing.
