Flower stalks may need staking.</span></span><br /><br /><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Light:</b> Bright light, but no direct sun.</span></span><br /><br /><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Water:</b> Keep soil evenly moist year-round. Yellow leaves may be a sign of overwatering.</span></span><br /><br /><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Humidity:</b> Moderate to high. Use a humidity tray or a room humidifier if the relative humidity drops below 50 percent.</span></span><br /><br /><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Temperature:</b> Average to warm 65-75°F, 18-24°C</span></span><br /><br /><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Soil:</b> Peat moss based potting mix. African violet mix works well.</span></span><br /><br /><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Fertilizer:</b> Feed every 2 weeks in spring and summer with a high-phosphorus liquid fertilizer diluted by half.</span></span><br /><br /><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Propagation:</b> Divide crowded clumps when repotting. Spring is the best time to start new plants. High humidity will give them a good start.</span></span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhId6q3FAQimn-iu0sZIq0alXrNYsnpgVST_j3bpj91T15QJgUY39MTnTmGbcBUQzDroKYueGNt5rUA5ti1sG0MC3wpWdGp0rYhBPC28M7s9MkFfP1Wqc0Juqi2socKgK3p4YIIfdzlqRg/s1600/Anthurium+flamingo+flowers.+(1).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhId6q3FAQimn-iu0sZIq0alXrNYsnpgVST_j3bpj91T15QJgUY39MTnTmGbcBUQzDroKYueGNt5rUA5ti1sG0MC3wpWdGp0rYhBPC28M7s9MkFfP1Wqc0Juqi2socKgK3p4YIIfdzlqRg/s320/Anthurium+flamingo+flowers.+(1).jpg" width="320" /></a></div><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Flamingo Flower is well-known by its red, oval spathes, each with a twisted, orange spadix covered densely with its tiny, true flowers. Spathes last for up to 8 weeks.</span></span><br /><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Large pointed, dark-green leaves grow up to 7 in (18 cm) long and surround the upright flower stems. <b>Anthurium leaves are poisonous</b>. They contain calcium oxalate crystals that can cause severe burning in the mouth. Keep your flamingo plant away from pets who may play with or chew on its foliage. It's also a good idea to wear gloves when handling anthurium plant to avoid skin irritation.</span></span><br /><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You'll find anthurium growing in warm, tropical regions. This Central America native prefers bright light, moist soil and moist air. Newer cultivars are less fussy about humidity and many hybrids are more lush, compact, and will bloom nearly year-round, taking a break in winter.</span></span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhU0sASizT6G5-tBRQ_Cd9cxtPDYSFYDo9-OZ84HvJO8CP7J8ZRHC7luBPLJAcWQ7iAdwuDJ4uG3DwhdPf95XqdOTjmFDQ_dYFiIW8Fv_tva4eMNoVn7vwwq5J-dYvg7YIw06nedxQmhjA/s1600/Anthurium+flamingo+flowers.+(2).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="259" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhU0sASizT6G5-tBRQ_Cd9cxtPDYSFYDo9-OZ84HvJO8CP7J8ZRHC7luBPLJAcWQ7iAdwuDJ4uG3DwhdPf95XqdOTjmFDQ_dYFiIW8Fv_tva4eMNoVn7vwwq5J-dYvg7YIw06nedxQmhjA/s320/Anthurium+flamingo+flowers.+(2).jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><h3 style="border-bottom-color: rgb(143, 143, 179); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 0px; clear: both; margin-top: 24px; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Flamingo Flower Care Tips</span></span></h3><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Repot a young plant in spring</b> when its roots have filled the container. Set the plant high so that the crown sits above the soil line. If roots appear at the surface between repottings, cover them with potting mix. Move your anthurium plant to a pot only 1 size larger. Be sure to use a pot with a drainage hole. Good drainage is essential to prevent root rot. </span></span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuriVAqt72hNTd1mELr8X0UUCF1ceITVuVnkbmsnnTboRsoh-iw332MdbWyHEfJTfO2Sjf2bYC1SKqiW5sGLXlnxx0XK7v6wa4QQq-3i0AmIJ6lNxOo9kCbylMLQEk2DsDvmq4P3E0KOw/s1600/Anthurium+flamingo+flowers.+(4).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuriVAqt72hNTd1mELr8X0UUCF1ceITVuVnkbmsnnTboRsoh-iw332MdbWyHEfJTfO2Sjf2bYC1SKqiW5sGLXlnxx0XK7v6wa4QQq-3i0AmIJ6lNxOo9kCbylMLQEk2DsDvmq4P3E0KOw/s320/Anthurium+flamingo+flowers.+(4).jpg" width="240" /></a></div> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Flamingo Flower grows best with even temperatures around 70°F/21°C. Exposing it to temperatures below 60°F/10°C can cause its leaves to turn yellow. It doesn't like drafts either.</span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieX2GrHg6Rj3Uhfvcy6ZLizBdyANdQAQuFnCj6loyxeIcJD6RkVPsl4TksH3XEMCu5qaJ4D-MPAfgVbJ6ix-K-j2OV_ueq4OS7GwI27mMWaghjnPX-rZX39JjSr7jxcEo6sljAtgKTzwY/s1600/Anthurium+flamingo+flowers.+(3).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieX2GrHg6Rj3Uhfvcy6ZLizBdyANdQAQuFnCj6loyxeIcJD6RkVPsl4TksH3XEMCu5qaJ4D-MPAfgVbJ6ix-K-j2OV_ueq4OS7GwI27mMWaghjnPX-rZX39JjSr7jxcEo6sljAtgKTzwY/s320/Anthurium+flamingo+flowers.+(3).jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Keep leaves clean.</b> Anthurium leaves are naturally glossy. Just wipe them with a damp cloth, or spray with a fine mist of room-temperature water, to keep them dust-free. Avoid leaving water drops on the leaves because it may cause a fungus that appears as dry, brown spots that need to be treated with a fungicide.</span></span><br /><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is a beautiful, lush tropical plant even when not in bloom. Give your anthurium growing conditions like its native habitat, and you'll enjoy it for several years.</span></span><br /></div>
