Flamingo flowers are typically grown as houseplants and are relatively easy to care for. They require bright, indirect light and should be kept in a warm and humid environment. These plants also need to be watered regularly but it's important not to overwater them as thAT can lead to root rot.

While the flamingo flower is most commonly seen in shades of red, it also comes in other colors such as pink, white and purple. These colors can add a pop of color to any room and make the plant a popular choice for home decor.

    1. Great question, Pradeep. The bright pinkish-red colour of the flowers could be a reason. :)
