An absolutely gorgeous flowering Anthurium plant species in the family Araceae that is native to Colombia and Ecuador. And those flowers are with you all year round too. "Hurrah, Flamingo!" we hear you cry. And you'd be right. Ideal for beginners.

Origin

Native to the tropical rainforest floors of South America.
Positioning + Light Needs
Requires plenty of light but will suffer if overexposed to direct sunlight. Avoid positioning next to radiators or draughty windows or doors.
Watering
Anthuriums like moist but not sodden soil. Water modestly when the top two inches of soil are dry. Water more regularly during warmer months but allow the soil to dry out between each watering; make sure the roots are never sitting in water for a prolonged period. Water less frequently during colder months.
Misting
Mist modestly a couple of times a week - only mist the leaves not the flower. Misting isn't a watering substitute; it's a means of going some way towards replicating the high humidity these exotic plants would be exposed to in their natural habitat. If you have a good spot in the kitchen or a regularly used shower room, all the better!
Feeding
Use a high phosphorous fertiliser April to September (little and often is best).
Re-potting
Every 2 - 4 years should be fine.
Child / Pet Friendly
Not really, the s
ap is toxic to your skin and harmful if ingested.
Look out for
Yellowing leaves: either too much direct sunlight or possible overwatering.
Check soil: if dry, too much sun; if wet, too much water.

Our size guide applies to both plants and planters.
The diameter range for each is based on the following:

GOLDEN RULES
Plants: The stated height for any given plant is from the ground up, so will always include the nursery pot.
Plant & Planter Fit: To find a planter for your chosen plant, start with the corresponding size category, e.g. plant size S - go to Small (S) planters.  
Example 1
your chosen plant size states M | 60 | 21. This is a Medium size (M) with a height of 60cm and a nursery pot diameter of 21cm.
Go to Planters size category: Medium [21 - 29cm].
You will need a minimum planter opening diameter size of 22cm.
Example 2: your chosen plant has a nursery pot diameter of 29cm. Though this falls within our Medium range (21-29cm), you will need to look at 30cm + planters - taking you into the Large Planters category [30 - 39cm].
