Anthurium Andreanum Flamingo Flower
Anthurium andraeanum, commonly known as the Flamingo Flower, is a striking tropical plant celebrated for its glossy, heart-shaped leaves and vibrant, long-lasting blooms. The eye-catching spathes, often mistaken for flowers, come in brilliant shades of red, pink, or white, adding a splash of colour and elegance to any indoor space. The bright blooms and shiny foliage make this plant a standout in any collection.
In addition to its beauty, the Anthurium is also an air-purifying plant, helping to cleanse the air of toxins and improve indoor air quality. It thrives in warm, humid conditions and can adapt well to indoor environments, making it a popular choice for homes and offices.

Care Guide
- Light: Anthuriums thrive in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, as this can scorch the leaves, but they can tolerate lower light levels, though blooming may reduce in dimmer areas.
- Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Make sure the pot has good drainage to prevent root rot. Reduce watering during winter months when the plant’s growth slows.
- Humidity: Anthuriums love high humidity, as they are tropical plants. Mist the leaves regularly, or place the plant near a humidifier or on a tray of pebbles with water. This is especially important in dry indoor conditions during winter.
- Soil: Anthuriums need a well-draining, aerated potting mix. Our general houseplant mix or aroid plants mix available in our shop are ideal, as they allow for proper drainage while retaining moisture. This will keep your Flamingo Flower’s roots healthy.
- Temperature: Keep your Anthurium in a warm environment, ideally between 18-24°C. Avoid cold drafts or temperatures below 12°C, as this can damage the plant.
- Fertilising: Feed your Anthurium monthly during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid fertiliser diluted to half strength. Stop fertilising in autumn and winter.
Troubleshooting & Common Issues
- Yellowing Leaves: This can be a sign of overwatering or poor drainage. Make sure the soil dries out slightly between waterings and that the pot has good drainage. Avoid leaving the plant in standing water.
- Brown Leaf Tips: Often caused by low humidity or overexposure to direct sunlight. Increase humidity by misting the plant regularly, and move it to a spot with indirect light.
- No Flowers: If your Anthurium isn’t blooming, it may not be receiving enough light. Move it to a brighter spot, but avoid direct sunlight. Fertilising during the growing season can also help encourage blooms.
- Root Rot: This is a common issue with overwatering or using a poorly draining soil mix. Ensure the potting mix is well-draining, such as our general houseplant mix or aroid plants mix. If you suspect root rot, reduce watering and repot the plant in fresh soil.
- How often should I water my Flamingo Flower to keep it thriving?
- Water the plant when the top inch of soil feels dry, ensuring the soil remains evenly moist but not waterlogged. Reduce watering during the winter months as growth slows.
- Can the Flamingo Flower be placed in a terrarium environment?
- Yes, this plant can thrive in a terrarium setting due to its love for high humidity and indirect light. Ensure the terrarium is well-ventilated and not overly crowded to prevent issues with moisture.
- What should I do if the leaves of my plant start turning yellow?
- Yellowing leaves are often a sign of overwatering or poor drainage. Check that the pot has proper drainage and allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Adjusting these conditions should help revive your plant.
