The red, heart-shaped flower of Anthuriums, also known as Painted Tongue, Flamingo Flower (Flamingo Lily) or Tail Flower, is really a spathe or a waxy, modified leaf flaring out from the base of a fleshy spike (spadix) where the tiny real flowers grow. Most common colors of anthuriums are red and shades of red.

Your Anthurium prefers temperatures between 65-80 degrees during the day and no cooler than 60 degrees at night. Avoid placing your plants near heating and air conditioning vents and fans. Feed once a month during the spring and summer with a liquid fertilizer for indoor plants.
