Like any supermodel, these fabulously fiery “flowers” can easily command a room. But these pretty petals are actually leaves. Despite their striking appearance, anthuriums are remarkably down-to-earth and can thrive quite happily without much fuss. Here’s a basic care checklist for anthuriums:

• Water when the top 2 inches of soil are dry
• Let your anthurium soak up some medium light
• Mist every 2-3 days in spring and summer
• Keep temperatures between 18 and 26°C
• Snip off any drooping flower stalks to boost growth
