Description
Your anthurium will do best when the soil has a chance to dry out in between waterings. Too much or too frequent watering can lead to root rot, which could severely affect the long-term health of your plant. For best results, water your anthurium with just six ice cubes or a half cup of water once a week.
Anthuriums are relatively easy to grow, have attractive foliage and under the proper environment, produce long lasting flowers year round. Most commonly called a Flamingo Lily or Laceleaf, Anthurium andraeanum is a beautiful evergreen plant that is most known for its gorgeous flowers.
To maintain healthy growth and flowering, Anthuriums require bright, indirect light, preferably from an east- or west-facing window with a sheer curtain. They do not tolerate direct sunlight, and exposure can cause bleaching of the leaves.
