About Painter's Palette
The name Anthurium comes from the Greek anthos + oura, meaning "flower tail". This funny name refers to their flowers which grow on a spike (called a spadix) above a large, colored leaf (called a spathe). Their bright colored spathes attract pollinators and give them their other names such as the Flamingo Flower or Painter's Palette 🦩 🎨!

How to fertilize Painter's Palette
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Painter's Palette after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Flower turning brown Please help dear green thumbers! My plant is doing great, except for one flower that is turning brown and has just fallen off (from the stem). Too much water? But how come it has only affected one of the 5 flowers?

Hi! I just found this brown spot on my Anthurium (a big leaf was covering it up so I think it’s from a lack of sunlight). Should I trim off the brown part? #Anthurium

I have a big collection of flowering anthuriums, and they’re the most forgiving plants I’ve ever owned. They can deal with inconsistent watering, too much or too little sun and temperature changes without much fuss. The flowers last months and bring a lot of colour to my apartment. Some of my favourite plants I own.

The second of two babies which were propagated from hydroponic plants. Experimenting to see which medium produces flowers first.

Finding the right light for this plant is an ongoing battle, but this is one of two baby anthurium which were propagated in water. I keep some larger specimens growing in water, one in soil. This is one of two which have moved to a coco coir/perlite/seramis potting medium to see which grows best.
