The Details

• Botanical Name: Anthurium andraeanum
• Common Name: White Flamingo Flower, Flamingo Lily
• Pot Size: 180mm Nursery Pot
• Plant Type: Tropical Flowering Aroid

Light

Prefers bright, indirect light to encourage healthy foliage and regular flowering. Can tolerate moderate light, although flowering may become less frequent. Avoid harsh, direct afternoon sunlight, which can scorch its glossy leaves and delicate spathes. A bright position near a window with filtered light is ideal.

Watering

Allow the top few centimetres of potting mix to begin drying between waterings. Water thoroughly, allowing excess water to drain away, and avoid leaving the pot sitting in water. Anthuriums appreciate consistent moisture but don't enjoy constantly soggy roots.

If the potting mix becomes excessively dry, leaves may begin to droop or develop brown edges. Maintaining a regular watering routine will help keep the foliage looking lush and healthy.

Feeding

Feed year-round with a diluted, balanced liquid fertiliser to support healthy foliage and encourage repeat flowering. Adjust the frequency according to its growth rate, feeding less often during cooler periods when growth naturally slows.

Avoid overfertilising, as excess salts can accumulate in the potting mix and cause browning leaf tips or damage to the roots.

Growing

Prefers a loose, chunky, well-draining aroid potting mix that allows plenty of airflow around its roots while retaining a little moisture. As a tropical plant with naturally epiphytic tendencies, it appreciates an airy growing medium rather than dense, compacted soil.

Enjoys warm temperatures and moderate to high humidity, although established plants can adapt to typical indoor conditions. Keep away from cold draughts, heaters and sudden temperature changes.

Remove spent blooms and ageing leaves with clean, sharp snips to encourage a tidy appearance and allow the plant to direct energy towards fresh growth.

Pet Friendly?

No. Anthurium andraeanum contains insoluble calcium oxalate crystals and is toxic to cats, dogs and humans if chewed or ingested. Keep away from curious pets and little hands.

Good to Know

Here's a little botanical fun fact! Those beautiful white 'flowers' aren't actually flowers at all. They're modified leaves called spathes, while the tiny true flowers grow along the central spadix. The spathes can remain attractive for several weeks, gradually changing colour as they age.

Unlike some flowering houseplants that have one main blooming season, Anthuriums can produce flowers at different times throughout the year when conditions are favourable. Plenty of indirect light, consistent warmth and appropriate feeding will help encourage repeat flowering.

Don't be surprised if the white spathes develop subtle green or cream tones as they mature. This is a natural part of the flowering cycle and adds to the unique character of each bloom.
