KEEP IT SIMPLE

A FLOWER PERFECT FOR THE OVERWATERER

Real Simple magazine featured our very own anthurium hybrid, the Flamingo flower, in the current issue as the perfect plant for "The Overwaterer." (You know the type, who thinks if a little water is a good thing, a lot must be better.) It says that Flamingo flowers thrive in bright to low light and love moist soil, so the overwaterer can indulge with impunity. Spray it with a mister once in a while; it likes surface moisture, too, but don't leave it sitting in water. Empty the runover whenever you see some in the dish.
