Growing Anthurium (Flamingo Flower): Tropical Houseplant for Shade

Growing Anthurium (Flamingo Flower)

Pronunciation: an-thur-ee-um

Native to mountain forests in tropical North and South America, Anthuriums belong to the same family as Caladium and Elephant's Ears. Relatively carefree; grow in shady spots in frost-free areas or as houseplants in colder climates.

Light and Watering

Bright, indirect light. Water moderately in warmer season so soil is moist but not wet. Water less in winter.

Fertilizer, Soil, and pH

Plant in well-drained potting mix. Fertilize monthly with balanced fertilizer (10-10-10).

Continuing Care

Cut off faded flower stalks with scissors.
