• Description: These exotic houseplants have glossy heart-shaped leaves with a beautiful bloom that comes in a large array of colors. They can bloom all year long with enough light and water. The Anthurium originated in the South American rain forest so they thrive in high-humidity environments with a decent amount of shade.

Hey there! Anthurium 'Pink' is a stunning plant with vibrant pink flowers. Here are some care tips for your Anthurium 'Pink':

1. Lighting: Anthuriums prefer bright, indirect light. Place your plant near a window with filtered sunlight, but avoid direct sunlight as it can scorch the leaves. If the light is too low, the plant may not produce as many flowers.

2. Watering: Water your Anthurium 'Pink' when the top inch of soil feels dry. They like to be kept evenly moist but not soggy. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so make sure the pot has drainage holes and allow excess water to drain away.

3. Humidity: Anthuriums thrive in higher humidity levels. You can increase humidity by misting the leaves regularly or placing a tray of water near the plant. Another option is to use a humidifier or group your plants together to create a more humid environment.

4. Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix that retains some moisture but also allows excess water to drain. A mix of peat moss, perlite, and orchid bark works well for Anthuriums.

5. Temperature: Anthuriums prefer temperatures between 60-80°F (15-27°C). Avoid exposing them to cold drafts or extreme temperature fluctuations.

6. Fertilizing: Feed your Anthurium 'Pink' with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength every 2-4 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Follow the instructions on the fertilizer packaging for the correct dosage.

7. Pruning: Remove any yellowing or damaged leaves to keep your plant looking its best. You can also trim back any leggy or overgrown stems to encourage new growth.

8. Flower care: Anthurium 'Pink' produces long-lasting flowers. To encourage more blooms, remove faded flowers by cutting the stem back to where it meets the main plant. This will redirect the plant's energy towards producing new flowers.

Remember, Anthuriums are toxic to pets and humans if ingested, so keep them out of reach. With proper care, your Anthurium 'Pink' will bring a pop of color and tropical beauty to your space. Enjoy! 🌺
