Can a flamingo flower stand outdoors?
A flamingo flower (anthurium) can spend the summer outdoors when temperatures are above16° Celsius. Anthurium are evergreen arum plants from South America and are extremely sensitive to cold. As a rule, anthurium varieties are cultivated as houseplants all year round. A flamingo flower can stand outside under these ideal conditions:
- Bright to partially shaded location without direct sunlight.
- Optimal temperatures of 20° to 25° Celsius.
- Protected from the wind without drafts from the east or north.
- Important: Put the flamingo flower away in the evening when the thermometer falls below 16° Celsius.
Tip
Flamingo flowers' favorite place is in the bathroom
The flamingo flower swaps its summer location outdoors for its favorite place in the bathroom. The bright warmth and high humidity of the bathroom simulate the warm, humid rainforest climate that anthuriums are very comfortable with. There is no reason why you should temporarily turn down the heating in the bathroom to 16° to 18° Celsius to save energy. The cold stimulus has a beneficial effect on the flower formation and lifespan of flamingo flowers.
