I have an Anthedesia but it hasn't flowered since I first had it. Am I doing something wrong?

No, probably not - these plants, though often called anthedesia, are actually the same as Anthuriums - the only one that's relatively easy to care for as a houseplant is Anthurium scherzerianum, which I don't think I've ever seen for sale.

I had one (anthurium/anthedesia), a red one, and despite my best efforts, I could not get it to 'flower' again- they're much more likely to perform better in a warmer, humid conservatory, provided they are not allowed to completely dry out and are given a little water every day. I did manage to get it to produce 4 new red bracts, but really, they were so pathetic that after about 18 months, I'm afraid I binned it. Maybe someone else had better luck...
