Usually found in the wild across the Caribbean, Anthuriums are one of the most stunning plants you can grow in your home. They come in various colours, but red is one of the most eye-catching varieties. Give a Red Flamingo Anthurium Flower as a gift, and you’ll be sure to impress that special someone. Anthuriums are also really easy to care for, so they are perfect for people not so well-versed in houseplant care.
How To Care For Anthurium Flowers
Here are the general guidelines for keeping Anthurium happy and healthy:
-
Plant the flower in acidic soil
- Make sure the soil/pot drains well
- Keep in humid conditions where possible
- Water when the top inch of soil has become dry
-
Fertilise the plant every other month
If you follow the advice above, your Anthurium flower should remain healthy! However, if you want to take your plant care to the next level, here’s some further guidance.
These plants are native to very humid, warm conditions, so they naturally prefer a humid environment - a humidity level of around 80% is ideal. You can create artificial humidity for your plant by spraying your plant with a mister every few days. You could even purchase a humidifier to keep the levels high. However, never place your Anthurium near a heating system, as the dry air does no good.
