Product Details
Anthurium Red (commonly known as Flamingo Flower, Laceleaf, or Red Anthurium), is a stunning tropical houseplant from the Araceae family, native to Central and South America. This eye-catching beauty features glossy, heart-shaped dark green leaves and vibrant, waxy, bright red spathes (modified leaves that look like flowers) surrounding a slender, yellow to white spadix. The "blooms" are long-lasting — often 6–8 weeks or more — and can appear year-round with good care, adding a bold pop of tropical color to any space. It's compact to medium-sized (typically 1–2 feet indoors), perfect for tabletops, shelves, or as a vibrant accent in living rooms, offices, or bathrooms.
People love Anthurium Red for its exotic, cheerful appearance that brings instant tropical vibes and warmth indoors — the shiny red "flowers" (actually spathes) symbolize hospitality, love, and abundance, making it a popular gift for housewarmings, Valentine's, or special occasions. It's relatively low-maintenance once established, offers long-lasting color without needing constant attention, purifies indoor air by removing toxins like formaldehyde and ammonia, and its glossy foliage stays attractive even between blooms. The combination of striking looks, durability, and positive symbolism makes it a favorite for beginners and enthusiasts alike.
Caring Tips for Anthurium Red
Light: Bright, indirect light is ideal for best blooming and leaf health; east- or north-facing windows work great. It tolerates medium light but produces fewer flowers; avoid direct sun to prevent scorched leaves.
Watering: Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry (every 7–10 days typically); keep soil lightly moist but never soggy. Over watering leads to root rot — always use pots with drainage holes and empty saucers.
Soil & Pot: Use a well-draining, airy mix like orchid bark blended with potting soil or aroid mix (50/50 works well). Repot every 1–2 years in spring if root-bound.
Temperature & Humidity: Prefers warm temps 65–85°F (18–29°C); avoid below 60°F or cold drafts. High humidity (60%+) is key — mist leaves regularly, use a pebble tray, humidifier, or place in a naturally humid spot like a bathroom.
Fertilizing: Feed every 4–6 weeks in spring/summer with a balanced or phosphorus-rich liquid fertilizer (diluted to half strength). Reduce or stop in fall/winter.
Pruning & Maintenance: Remove faded spathes and yellowing leaves at the base to encourage new growth. Wipe leaves occasionally to keep them dust-free and glossy.
Blooming Tip: More light and consistent humidity encourage re blooming; cooler nights (but not cold) in fall can trigger more flowers.
Note: Toxic if ingested by pets or humans, so keep away from curious cats, dogs, or children.
With its forgiving tropical charm and those iconic, long-lasting red "blooms," Anthurium Red is the perfect way to add effortless elegance and a touch of paradise to your home!
