Seeing this Pink Anthurium in the living room looking great near the window. Hehe. It is quite unique and special, given to me by my dearest. Hehe.
Looking back, I think this year is a bad year for me. May this flower bring me luck and good health for the upcoming year 2010. Hehe. Hmmmm... May the remaining days in 2009 be great as well. =)
What is Pink Anthurium?
Anthurium is a large genus of about 600- 800 (possibly 1,000) species, belonging to the arum family (Araceae). Anthurium can also be called "Flamingo Flower" or "Boy Flower", both referring to the structure of the spathe and spadix.
It is one of the largest and probably the most complex genus of this family; certainly it is one of the most variable.
Growing Anthurium
Many species of Anthurium can be grown as houseplants, or outdoors in mild climates in shady spots. They thrive in moist soils with high organic matter. In milder climates the plants can be grown in pots of soil.
Indoors plants thrive at temperatures between 60-72 °F / 16-22 °C and at lower light than other house plants. Wiping the leaves off with water will remove any dust and insects. Plant in pots with good root systems. Will benefit from a weak fertilizer solution every other week.
In the case of vining or climbing Anthuriums, the plants benefit from being provided with a totem to climb.
