Anthurium Red plant

The Anthurium Red with its striking heart-shaped red blooms and glossy green leaves is an elegant addition to any indoor space. It adds a vibrant pop of colour while being easy to care for

Origin

Native to the tropical rainforests of Central and South America.

Light

Prefers bright indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight as it can scorch the leaves. Anthuriums thrive in well-lit areas but can tolerate lower light conditions though this may reduce blooming.

Water

Water every 1-2 weeks allowing the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Anthuriums prefer consistently moist soil but can suffer from root rot if overwatered.

Humidity

Thrives in high humidity but can adapt to average household levels. Regular misting or placing the plant near a humidity tray can help maintain optimal humidity.

The Anthurium is also known as the "Flamingo Flower" due to its vibrant red blooms that resemble the bird’s graceful stance. It’s not just a pretty face—it’s also a symbol of hospitality and happiness in many cultures
