Red Anthurium 'Flamingo Flower'

the year. If you want living color without buying cut flowers every week, this is the better deal. It's not difficult, but it does have preferences: good light to keep the blooms coming, and no soggy soil. It's toxic to pets, so give it a spot out of reach of curious cats and dogs. Care snapshot Light: Bright, indirect light. The more (filtered) light it gets, the more it blooms; in dim spots it survives but flowers rarely. Avoid harsh direct sun. Water: Water when the top inch of soil is dry, roughly weekly. It likes to dry slightly between drinks; constantly wet soil rots the roots. Humidity: Appreciates humidity. Average homes are workable, but a bump from a humidifier or pebble tray keeps the foliage glossier. Pet-safe: No. Toxic to cats and dogs. Contains insoluble calcium oxalates; keep out of reach. What ships: A 4-inch or 6-inch plant in its nursery grow pot with a care card. Bloom count varies plant to plant and by season; plants may arrive between flower cycles. Pairs nicely with a Peace Lily if you're collecting bloomers (both are toxic to pets, so shelf them high).
