Anthurium Red Plant

Anthurium Red Plant

The Anthurium Red Plant (Anthurium andraeanum), also known as Flamingo Flower or Laceleaf, is a stunning tropical houseplant admired for its glossy red spathes (often mistaken for flowers) and contrasting yellow spadix. 🌺✨


🌸 Appearance

  • Leaves: Large, glossy, heart-shaped dark green leaves.

  • Flowers (Spathes): Bright red, waxy, heart-shaped structures with a yellow/cream spadix in the center.

  • Size: Typically grows 12–24 inches tall indoors.


🌿 Care Tips

  1. Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Too much direct sun can scorch the leaves.

  2. Watering: Keep soil lightly moist; water when the top inch feels dry. Do not let it sit in water.

  3. Temperature: Thrives between 65–80°F; avoid cold drafts.

  4. Humidity: Loves high humidity—mist leaves often or use a pebble tray/humidifier.

  5. Soil: Well-draining mix (orchid mix + peat + perlite is ideal).

  6. Fertilizer: Feed monthly during spring and summer with a high-phosphorus fertilizer for more blooms.


🌱 Special Notes

  • The red part is not the flower, but a modified leaf (spathe); the true flowers are the tiny bumps on the spadix.

  • Symbolizes hospitality, love, and abundance.

  • Popular as a gift plant for festive and romantic occasions.

  • Toxic to pets if ingested (due to calcium oxalate crystals).

📌 Fun Fact: With proper care, Anthuriums can bloom year-round indoors, making them a long-lasting decorative plant.
