This indoor-friendly live tropical plant features long-lasting flowers so fetching and intriguing that it has several common names inspired by them, such as flamingo flower, painter's palette, flamingo lily and tailflower. Laceleaf is another nickname. These waxy, puckered, palette-shaped, vividly red flowers are in fact modified leaves called spathes. Each glossy flower encloses an erect creamy yellow spadix (floral spike aka tailflower), contrasted by the rich green heart-shaped foliage. Unlike many flowering plants, anthurium blooms are remarkably long-lasting, gracing your space for several weeks at a time. Anthuriums can be featured in your living room, office or even your kitchen, becoming an eye-catching centerpiece. Thanks to their compact form, they're perfect for tabletops, shelves or windowsills, instantly brightening up any space with its vibrant color. Provide bright, indirect light for optimal growth. Direct Sunlight may scorch the leaves. Keep the soil evenly moist, allowing the top inch to dry out before watering again. To maintain moderate humidity levels, you can use a humidifier or mister or place the plant on a pebble tray. Anthuriums thrive in temperatures between 65 to 85°. Protect them from drafts and sudden temperature changes. Feed with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 6-weeks to 8-weeks during spring and Summer. Remove faded blooms and any yellowing or damaged leaves to encourage new growth and maintain the plant's appearance.
