•   Anthurium Orange, or Flamingo Flower is a hybrid variety of Anthurium, which is a genus of flowering plants in the family Araceae. Anthurium plants are native to tropical rainforests in Central and South America.
  
  Anthurium Orange is a stunning and elegant houseplant with heart-shaped, glossy green leaves and long-lasting orange blooms. The flowers are actually spathes, which are modified leaves that attract pollinators.
  
  The Anthurium Orange is a relatively compact plant, making it a great choice for tabletops, shelves, or windowsills. It is also a relatively low-maintenance, houseplant, making it a good choice for beginners.
  
  Anthurium is an air-purifying plant recommended by NASA. It helps to remove toxins from the air, such as formaldehyde, ammonia, and toluene.
  
  
  
  
• Anthurium Orange can tolerate low light conditions, but it will bloom more profusely in bright, indirect sunlight. Place Anthurium Orange in a bright spot, but avoid direct sunlight.
  
  Water Anthurium Orange regularly, keeping the soil moist but not soggy. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Reduce watering during the cold months.
  
  Rich but porous, well-draining soil keeps your Anthurium healthy and thriving. You can choose any high-quality houseplant potting mix and add some perlite for added aeration and drainage.
  
  This plant thrives in normal indoor temperatures of 65 °F- 85 °F, with night temperatures ideally around 60°F-70°F. Avoid temperatures above 90 °F and below 85 °F. This tropical beauty loves high humidity and needs humid environments with a humidity level of 50% or higher.
  
  Fertilizer this plant with a diluted houseplant fertilizer once a month during the growing season in spring-summer.
  
  Anthuriums contain calcium oxalate crystals and are toxic if ingested, so keep them out of reach of children and pets.
