Anthurium andraeanum, commonly known as the flamingo flower or laceleaf, is a tropical plant celebrated for its glossy, heart-shaped leaves and vibrant red spathe, which are often mistaken for flowers. This is the true species originally sourced from Ecuador. 

Native to: Tropical rainforests of Central and South America, particularly Colombia and Ecuador.

Water: Maintain consistently moist soil, watering when the top layer feels dry. Reduce watering during the winter months, allowing the soil to dry out slightly more between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent waterlogging.

Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves. While it can tolerate lower light conditions, growth may be slower, and flowering reduced.

Humidity: Thrives in high humidity environments, ideally between 60-80%. Regular misting, placing the plant on a tray of pebbles filled with water, or using a humidifier can help maintain adequate humidity levels.

Temperature: Favours temperatures between 18°C and 27°C. Protect from cold drafts and avoid exposure to temperatures below 15°C, as this can cause stress and hinder growth.
