ANTHURIUM
The Anthurium is also known as
tailflower,
flamingo flower,
Flamingo Lily,
laceleaf,
Painted Tongue,
Cotton Candy,
Lady Jane.
A tropical flower, anthuriums have strange petal-like bracts, that are red, pink,white or green. The blooms are glossy like patent leather. As a cut flower, anthuriums live two to three weeks.
Anthuriums are herbaceous epiphytes native to tropical America. Anthurium is a genus of more than 800 species found in the New World tropics from Mexico to northern Argentina and Uruguay.
The Anthurium prefers bright light, so try to place the plant between 5 and 8 feet from a window. This houseplant requires low to medium amounts of water. Let the soil dry out inbetween wataerings, but most importantly, the Anthurium requires proper drainage. Be sure your pot has drainage holes. You can also help the plant by putting 1 to 2 inches of pebble stone in the bottom of the pot. The Anthurium requires a slightly higher level of humidity so misting weekly will help the plant look and feel a lot better.
This houseplant is one of many poisonous houseplants. Please keep away from pets and children.
