Fashionable, unique appearance
The flowers of this arum plant impress with their striking shape: the cheeky flower head protrudes from the intensely colored bract. Depending on the variety, the bract can be bright white, deep red, pink, purple or orange in color. Species with a green bract are also beautiful, a manifestation that is very natural and at the same time exciting.

Anthuriums last a long time in the vase
The attractive flowers will keep in the vase for up to three weeks, provided you follow these care instructions:
- Cut the style at an angle with a very sharp knife. So the flamingo flower can absorb the water well.
- Change the water regularly, it must not start to rot. Especially in summer it may be necessary to wash the vase daily and fill it with fresh water.
- Do not place the bouquet near any heat sources. You should also avoid direct sunlight.
The anthurium takes root in the vase
Anthuriums can be propagated by cuttings, but this only works with shoots that have small nodes. Only grow from these, the leaf stands in water, roots for a long time. Maybe you are lucky and there is a flower style in your bouquet that is starting to drift. If the bouquet has faded, you can let it take root in a glass of water.
Tips
the Anthurium is a symbol of exotic beauty, but also stands for qualities such as masculinity, strength and dominance. A bouquet in which flamingo flowers are tastefully combined with other flowers is therefore also very suitable as a flower gift for men.
