FAQ about Anthurium (Flamingo Flower) – Red

How often should an anthurium be watered?
Water when the surface of the compost feels slightly dry, usually once a week. Avoid soaking the compost, as this causes root rot, and tip away any water left in the saucer. Room-temperature water is best.
What light does an anthurium need?
The anthurium, or flamingo flower, thrives in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sun, which can scorch the leaves, but in too little light it flowers less.
Why are the leaves on my anthurium turning yellow?
Yellow leaves can be caused by too much water, too little light or natural ageing. Check your watering routine and the plant's position.
How can I increase the humidity for my anthurium?
Stand the plant on a tray of moist pebbles, use a humidifier or group it with other plants to create a more humid microclimate. A bathroom with a window is often an excellent spot.
When should I feed my anthurium?
Feed every four to six weeks during the growing season in spring and summer with a diluted houseplant fertiliser. Feed less in winter.
