Plant details
Flamingo flower is a spectacular South American epiphytic plant (epiphytes grow on other plants, but they are otherwise independent and not parasitic), which produces dark green, glossy leaves about 23cm long. There's a near continuous show of bright red spathes with yellow spadices. Fix the plant to a piece of dead branch, surround the roots with sphagnum moss, and tie everything together with nylon fishing line, then hang from the ceiling. Grow in a warm, humid greenhouse or conservatory, mimicking the conditions in a rainforest. Don't let the moss dry out, and don't let the temperature drop below 16c.
