The Flamingo Flower or Anthurium is a beautiful plant that will be happy if you follow the following care tips:

  1. Location: Place your Anthurium in a bright location, but without direct sunlight. A bright location with indirect light is ideal. Too much sun can burn the leaves, so be careful.

  2. Temperature and humidity: Anthuriums like it warm. Living rooms and work rooms are ideal. Keep the room temperature between 20°C and 25°C if possible. Anthuriums do not like to be submerged in water, but they appreciate high humidity.

  3. Watering: Water your anthurium regularly, but allow the substrate to dry slightly between waterings. Your water level indicator shows MIN? Great, then you can water again tomorrow (or the day after). Waterlogging and a constantly full water tank can lead to root rot.

  4. Fertilization: Fertilize your anthurium approximately every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced, liquid houseplant fertilizer. In winter, you can reduce or stop fertilizing.

  5. Care and cleaning: Regularly remove dust from the leaves with a soft cloth or a gentle shower. You can carefully prune off damaged or dead leaves to promote the health of the plant.

  6. Pests and diseases: Watch for signs of pests such as spider mites or aphids. If you spot any, take appropriate measures to control them. Isolate the plant and use insecticides if necessary.

With these tips, your anthurium will stay healthy and happy. Watering and lighting conditions should be adapted to the location in your home.
Have fun with your anthurium!
