About Anthurium Orange (Tailflower)
Anthurium, also called Tailflower, is grown for its glossy, heart-shaped leaves and long-lasting, waxy orange-red spathes (often mistaken for petals) surrounding a slim central spadix. It's one of the few genuinely flowering plants in this category, blooming on and off through the year in good conditions.
Growing Conditions
- Light: Bright, indirect light. Keep out of direct sunlight to avoid leaf and bloom damage.
- Soil: Well-draining, organic-rich potting mix.
- Humidity: Thrives in high humidity - mist occasionally or use a humidifier in dry climates.
Placement
A bright spot away from direct sun - living rooms and bright bathrooms work well given its humidity needs.
Care
- Watering: Water moderately, letting the top inch of soil dry before rewatering; avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.
- Fertilizer: Diluted balanced fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season to support blooming.
- Repotting: Repot every 1-2 years, or when roots outgrow the pot.
- Pruning: Remove spent flowers and yellowing leaves at the base.
Flowering
Blooms intermittently through the year under good light and care, with each waxy spathe lasting several weeks.
This listing ships a young potted plant. Growth rate and mature size vary by light, care, and environment. Contains calcium oxalate crystals - can cause mouth/throat irritation if chewed; keep away from pets and children.
