Description

Common name: Flamingo Flower (Anthurium)

Latin name: Anthurium andraeanum

Best position in the home: Prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch both leaves and flowers. Ideal for living rooms, bedrooms, or offices, and particularly happy in warm, slightly humid spaces like kitchens or bathrooms.

Water requirements: Keep the soil lightly moist but not soggy. Water when the top few centimetres of soil feel dry. Reduce watering in winter. Prefers higher humidity, so occasional misting or a humid spot will help keep it looking its best.

Home impact: With its glossy green leaves and long-lasting, vibrant flowers, this plant adds a bold, tropical feel to any room. It’s often associated with improving indoor air quality in a general sense. Not pet-friendly, as it is toxic if ingested.

Potential height at full growth: Typically grows to around 30–60cm in height, with a similar spread.

How to look after it: Place in bright, indirect light and keep in a warm environment. Water regularly to maintain light moisture, ensuring good drainage. Feed monthly during spring and summer with a balanced houseplant fertiliser. Wipe leaves occasionally and remove spent flowers to encourage new growth. Repot every couple of years using a free-draining compost mix.

Beginner friendliness 3/5 

Confident Beginner! Anthuriums are relatively easy to care for but need the right balance of light, warmth, and humidity to keep flowering well.

Anthuriums can flower throughout the year in the right conditions, with blooms lasting for several weeks. Brown leaf tips can indicate low humidity, while yellowing leaves may suggest overwatering.
