Watering

Press a finger an inch or two into the soil. When it feels dry at that depth, give a modest, measured amount of room-temperature water, enough to moisten the root ball, never a flood. The sealed planter keeps your floors dry, so a little at a time is always the better choice. In winter, when growth slows, water less often.

Why anthurium blooms for so long

NC State Extension describes the flamingo flower as native to the rainforests of Colombia and Ecuador, where it often grows as an epiphyte. Its glossy, heart-shaped "flowers" are long-lasting spathes, which is why an anthurium stays colorful for weeks at a time.

FAQ

How long do the blooms last? Each spathe lasts for weeks, and healthy plants rebloom through the year in good light.

What light is best? Medium to bright, indirect light. Avoid hot, direct sun.

Is it pet-safe? No. The ASPCA lists anthurium as toxic to cats and dogs.
