🌿 Anthurium Red Plant (Anthurium andraeanum)

The Anthurium Red, also known as Flamingo Flower or Laceleaf, is a striking indoor plant with glossy green foliage and vibrant red, heart-shaped blooms. Its long-lasting flowers and bold color make it a perfect choice for brightening up indoor spaces like living rooms, offices, or entryways.

🔆 Light Requirements

Ideal Light: Bright, indirect light helps maintain vibrant blooms.
Tolerates: Medium light conditions, but flowering may reduce.
Avoid: Direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves and fade the flowers.

💧 Watering Guidelines

When to Water: When the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry to the touch.
Frequency: Water once a week during growing seasons; reduce slightly in winter.
Important: Avoid soggy soil. Use a well-draining pot and empty the saucer after watering.

🌾 Soil & Potting

Soil: A light, chunky, and well-draining mix (such as orchid mix blended with potting soil and perlite) works best.
Pot: A container with drainage holes is essential to prevent root rot.

🌱 Fertilization

Feed: Every 4–6 weeks in spring and summer with a balanced, diluted fertilizer.
Avoid: Over-fertilizing, which can lead to salt buildup and leaf browning.

✂️ Pruning & Maintenance

Trim: Remove any yellowing leaves and spent blooms to encourage fresh growth.
Clean: Wipe leaves gently with a damp cloth to keep them glossy and dust-free.
Repot: Every 1–2 years, or when roots begin to outgrow the pot.

🪴 Humidity & Temperature

Humidity: Loves high humidity. Mist occasionally or use a pebble tray in drier environments.
Temperature: Prefers 18–27°C (65–80°F). Avoid cold drafts and temperatures below 15°C (59°F).
