Anthurium clarinervium
flamingo flower
Flamingo flowers are known for their decorative foliage and colourful leaf bracts and large, heart-shaped, dark green leaves. The young leaves of Anthurium clarinervium emerge with a reddish hue before later developing their green colour which display striking, white patterns, making this popular houseplant attractive all year round. It grows in the canopy of trees in its native Mexico so an open compost suitable for orchids is recommended.

How to care for Anthurium clarinervium:
Water freely when in growth, but keep drier in winter. Mist the leaves regularly with water to increase humidity and every so often put it under a cold shower to wash off the leaves. Make sure the winter temperatures stay above 15°C, and repot every couple of years.
