Flamingo Flower - Anthurium andraeanum
Bright, indirect light is best; avoid direct sun which can scorch the leaves.
Keep soil evenly moist but not soggy; allow the top inch to dry between waterings.
Feed every 6–8 weeks with a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer during growing season.
Repot every 1–2 years or when rootbound; spring is ideal.
