Long-Lasting Blooms — Each spathe lasts up to 8 weeks; healthy plants bloom repeatedly throughout the year. Air-Purifying — Naturally filters indoor air pollutants for a healthier home. Tropical Sophistication — The deep color pairs beautifully with modern, bohemian, and maximalist interiors. Unforgettable Gift — A living luxury gift that outlasts cut flowers by months. Pet Note — Toxic to cats and dogs if ingested; keep out of reach of pets. 🌱 Plant Profile Botanical Name: Anthurium andraeanum Common Names: Flamingo Flower, Laceleaf, Painter's Palette Family: Araceae Origin: Colombia and Ecuador Bloom Color: Purple / Deep Violet Mature Size: 12–18" tall Bloom Duration: Up to 8 weeks per flower ☀️ Care at a Glance Light: Bright indirect light. Avoid direct sun, which can bleach or burn the spathes. Water: Water when the top inch of soil is dry. Allow slight drying between waterings. Humidity: Loves humidity — mist regularly or place on a pebble tray with water. Soil: Chunky, well-draining mix (orchid bark + perlite works great). Temperature: 65–85°F. Keep away from cold drafts and AC vents. Fertilizer: Feed monthly with a high-phosphorus fertilizer to encourage blooming. 🌿 Pro Tip: To trigger reblooming, give your Anthurium a 6-week cooler rest period (around 60°F) with reduced watering. This mimics its natural dry season and signals the plant to produce a fresh round of flowers. Shop More Tropical Houseplants →
