Care Notes:

Flamingo Anthurium is cheerful, glossy, and known for its long-lasting “flowers” (which are actually colorful spathes). It brings color and energy into a space and is often people’s first introduction to Anthuriums.

This variety is more forgiving than velvet types and adapts well to home environments. With good light and consistent watering, it can bloom multiple times a year.
