The care level

When choosing your plant pay attention to your lifestyle and the care level of that plant. Some might need a little more care than others. But they all have a chance to grow and thrive in your home. 


Let's get to know ANTHURIUM,  or better know as the Flamingo plant 

The Flamingo plant is native to Colombia so prefers warm and humid surroundings. Give them a spritz of water every few days or place it next to a humidifier to mimic it's natural environment. Plant tip: Trim of any dead flowers or yellowed leaves to encourage growth and a new bloom. 

Conditions

Place in a light area out of direct sunlight, as this will damage the leaves. Remove dust from it's leaves every now and again to allow it to get as much light as possible. 

Watering

The growing medium should be moist, but allow it to dry out a little between waterings. 

Minimum temperature 18°C

Flamingo plants are sensitive to temperature changes, and tend to like it a little warmer and humid. A spritz of water every few days will help.  

Location

Flamingo plants are best kept indoors.

Not for consumption

This plant is just for decoration, and should not be consumed.

Recommended pot diameter: 12cm

As your plant grows it will need some more space, aim for a pot that's 5-7cm larger than the previous pot. Only repot after two to three years and after a dormant period to encourage more growth.
