Homes in Bloom - Anthriums and Other Flowering Houseplants

Flowering houseplants are a wonderful way to add color to your home. They can be difficult to grow but are worth it. When cared for, many of the plants discussed here will bloom for long periods.

Two common varieties of Anthurium, the Tail Flower, Flamingo Flower, have long, narrow, shiny leaves and red buds. Arthuriums have well drained soil (add sphagnum) and a lot of heat, humidity and watering. Keep in partial sun in an eastern or west window and propagate by seed or division.
