Flamingo Lily I believe.
The Flamingo Lily, also known as Anthurium andraeanum, is a popular tropical plant known for its striking, heart-shaped spathes and dark green foliage. Here are some key details about the Flamingo Lily:
1. Appearance: The plant’s most distinctive feature is its spathes, which are often bright red, pink, white, or purple. The spathes are waxy and glossy, surrounding a spadix, which is a spike where tiny flowers grow.
2. Native Habitat: The Flamingo Lily is native to the rainforests of Central and South America, particularly Colombia and Ecuador. It thrives in warm, humid environments with indirect sunlight.
3. Care:
• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions.
• Water: Requires consistent moisture but should not be waterlogged. It’s best to allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings.
• Humidity: High humidity is ideal, mimicking its natural tropical environment. Misting the leaves or using a humidity tray can help.
• Temperature: Prefers temperatures between 70-85°F (21-29°C) and should be kept away from cold drafts or sudden temperature changes.
4. Toxicity: The plant is toxic to pets and humans if ingested, causing oral irritation and digestive discomfort.
5. Propagation: Can be propagated through division or by taking stem cuttings with aerial roots.
6. Uses: Often grown as an ornamental houseplant or used in floral arrangements due to its long-lasting, vibrant flowers.
The Flamingo Lily adds a tropical touch to indoor spaces and is appreciated for its exotic and colorful appearance.
