Description

Here’s a quick care guide for a red short Anthurium (also called Flamingo Flower or Laceleaf):

🌿 Basic Care for Red Short Anthurium

☀️ Light

• Prefers bright, indirect light.
• Avoid direct sun – it can scorch the leaves.
• Can tolerate low light but will produce fewer flowers.

💧 Watering

• Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil are dry.
• Keep soil moist but not soggy.
• Reduce watering in winter.

🌡️ Temperature

• Ideal range: 65–80°F (18–27°C).
• Keep away from cold drafts and sudden temp drops.

💦 Humidity

• Loves high humidity (60%+ is great).
• Mist occasionally or place near a humidifier or pebble tray.

🌱 Soil

• Use a well-draining potting mix (orchid mix + perlite works well).
• Avoid heavy or compact soil.

🌸 Fertilizer

• Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 6–8 weeks during spring and summer.
• Avoid overfertilizing—too much can burn the roots.

✂️ Pruning

• Remove dead or yellowing leaves to encourage new growth.
• Wipe leaves with a damp cloth to keep them dust-free and healthy.
