Flamingo Lily Care

As a water-loving plant, Flamingo Lily would benefit from regular hydration. This plant prefers consistently moist ground. Give it a drink when the top inch (3 cm) of soil feels dry to the touch. Make sure to empty the saucer or cache pot after each hydration, and don't waterlog the plant, as it can cause root issues.

Prune Flamingo Flower 'Joli Peach' at any time of the year with sterile scissors. Trimming off damaged stems or dense foliage is important to ensure proper air circulation and maintain its general health. When pruning, it's recommended to cut at the base of the plant.

Give Anthurium an extra feeding every 2-4 weeks during the spring-summer growing season. Dilute a balanced 10-10-10 NPK fertilizer for flowering plants to the half-recommended dose, and water the plant deeply after feeding. Alternatively, use a slow-release fertilizer every 6 months.

This flowering plant feels best in a bright place with indirect light. Place Flamingo Flower where it can enjoy filtered light throughout the day. Avoid direct sunlight exposure as it can affect blooms.

Flamingo Flower feels best in well-draining, rich in organic matter potting mix, so it's recommended to amend the soil drainage with sand or perlite. This plant prefers a slightly acidic to neutral growing medium with a pH range of 6-7.

Root division is the quickest way to propagate Flamingo Flower. Gently unpot the plant and separate the root system into multiple sections, ensuring each section has a sufficient amount of roots and foliage. Plant the separated sections into individual pots using a well-draining potting mix. Keep the ground consistently moist to let the plants establish in the new growing medium.

A temperature of 65-85°F (18-29°C) would be the most comfortable for this plant. Make sure to keep Peach Anthurium away from droughts and avoid exposing it to severe temperature fluctuations. Anthurium would also benefit from regular misting, as this tropical plant prefers 60-70% humidity.

As the Flamingo Lily is rootbound, it’s recommended to use a container that is slightly bigger than the plant’s root system. For smaller plants, choose a 6-8 in (15-20 cm) wide pot. For bigger ones, opt for a 10-12 in (25-30 cm) wide pot. Make sure to choose a container with drainage holes.

Interestingly, the pink flower of Flamingo Lily is not actually a flower. It's a modified leaf called a spathe. The plant's true flowers appear on the spadix and are barely visible.
