Red Anthurium Plant in a Pot

Anthurium is the botanical name, and it is widely used in English too. Its common English names are flamingo flower and laceleaf; the first comes from that glossy red bract, which does look rather like a flamingo. All three names refer to the same houseplant.

Around five, as a guide, like the plant in the photo. Every plant is at its own stage, so the number of open flowers may differ slightly and the red can range from bright scarlet to a deeper burgundy. The colour itself stays the same: the anthurium we bring you is red.

Not really, once it is in the right spot. It wants plenty of daylight but no direct sun, a drink only once the surface of the compost has dried out, and no water left standing in the saucer. What it dislikes most is dry air from heaters or air conditioning, so a little humidity around it helps a lot.

Yes. This is a living anthurium indoor plant, not a cut stem, and with good light and sensible watering it keeps producing new flowers. We cannot tell you exactly when: each plant sets its own pace, and the room matters a great deal. Removing dried flowers at the base helps it put its energy into fresh ones.

You can have one at home, but it is best kept out of their reach, just as you would with small children: the leaves are not meant to be chewed. A high shelf or a sideboard they do not climb onto works well.

If you want something that stays and flowers again, go for the plant. If you prefer the impact of cut flowers in a vase, the “Venice” anthurium bouquet mixes them with pampas and golden touches. Looking for a larger anthurium plant? Try the anthurium in a basket. And to give several plants together, there is our indoor plant basket.

Usually, yes. Your anthurium goes out on the morning round if the order is in before 9:00, and on the afternoon one if it is in before 13:00; treat those times as a guide. Weekday rounds cover 10:00–14:00 and 16:00–20:00, Saturday only the first of the two, Sunday none. During checkout, set the day and the time window, and your message travels with the plant on a card. Would you rather collect it yourself? It can wait for you at our shop at C/ Cardenal Rossell 73.
