Pink Anthurium Plant: Care Guide

Growing a Pink Anthurium isn’t as difficult; with our selected Flamingo Flower plant care tips, you’ll keep your plant happy and flourishing for many years.   

Watering and Humidity

Water your Flamingo Flower well, letting the excess water drain through the pot’s drainage holes. Wait until the soil dries slightly before the next watering.

The Flamingo Flower plants enjoy high humidity. You can increase humidity around your plant by misting regularly, placing it on a moisture-trapping pebble tray, grouping it with other plants, or using an indoor air humidifier.

Light and Temperature

The Flamingo Pink Anthurium grows best in bright, indirect light. Provide at least six hours of bright light daily to help your Anthurium Lily retain its vivid pink color. Keep your plant out of direct sunlight to prevent its leaves from getting burned.

For optimal Flamingo Flower care, the indoor temperature should be 60℉ to 90℉. When keeping your plant outdoors, ensure the night temperatures are above 60°F.

Soil and Repotting

The best soil for your Pink Flamingo Lily would be a well-draining mix of equal parts potting soil and perlite or orchid bark. Repot your Pink Flamingo Lily plant about once every two years or when it gets rootbound. Make sure you use a 2-inch larger pot with drainage holes.

Feeding and Propagation

For the best Pink Anthurium plant care, fertilize your plant monthly with a balanced liquid fertilizer or a slow-release fertilizer for flowering plants. You can propagate your Pink Laceleaf Plant by division in early spring. Make sure you place the new plants in bright, indirect light.

Pruning, Cleaning, and Common Issues

One of the Anthurium plant benefits is that it doesn’t require frequent pruning. Simply remove any yellowing and dried leaves or flowers. Once in a while, rinse the plant’s leaves under a shower to remove dust.

Wilting leaves with brown tips and stunted growth are signs of underwatering, while limp, yellowing leaves could indicate overwatering. Check that your Flamingo plant is never left standing in water as this can lead to root rot. The lack of flowers could be the result of a low-light exposure.
