Basic Information about your Anthurium

Scientific name: Anthurium andraeanum

Common names: Flamingo Flower, Anthurium

Plant type: Tropical perennial flowering plant

Family: Araceae

Native range: Colombia and Ecuador

Natural habitat: Tropical rainforests with bright, indirect light and high humidity

Difficulty level: Easy

How to care for your Anthurium

It likes bright indirect light. It can tolerate lower light conditions but will slow down growth and become very leggy.

WATER

This anthurium needs soil moist, and water when it's 50% dry.

HUMIDITY

Your anthurium needs 70%+ humidity.

TEMPERATURE

It does well in temperatures between 70-90 degrees.

FOOD

It likes to be fed monthly or every other month with some general indoor plant fertilizer. 

PET- FRIENDLYNESS

It's harmful to pets if ingested.

Additional Tips*
Use a well-draining substrate, such as a mixture of coconut fiber, perlite, pine bark, and activated charcoal. This ensures good aeration and prevents excess humidity.

The acclimation process takes a toll on anthuriums, so if they drop a few leaves, don't worry it will spring back in no time
