Anthurium Andraeanum Flamingo Flower - Red

Anthurium andraeanum (flamingo flower) is a live, flowering indoor plant known for its glossy, heart-shaped green leaves and long-lasting red spathes with a pale yellow spadix. This arrangement arrives planted in a vertical ribbed ceramic pot with a glossy olive-green finish, creating a calm, finished look for shelves, sideboards, and dining tables. Approximate size at delivery: H 40 cm with pot diameter Ø 16 cm.

The plant has a tidy, upright habit and holds its shape well, which makes it a practical choice if you want colour and greenery without a sprawling footprint. The London pot’s rounded silhouette and fine ribbing catch light subtly, while the glaze gives a clean surface that is easy to wipe and maintain. The muted olive tone sits naturally alongside pale woods, stone, stainless steel, and neutral textiles.

Anthuriums are often chosen for their dependable bloom cycle: with steady light and even watering, the waxy flowers can keep their colour for weeks. As the plant matures, new stems and blooms appear from the centre, keeping the overall form compact and composed.

Plant care

• Light requirements: Bright, indirect light is ideal. Tolerates medium light, but avoid direct midday sun which can scorch leaves and shorten flower life.
• Watering routine: Water when the top 2–3 cm of soil feels dry. Keep the soil lightly moist, never waterlogged. Empty any excess water from the saucer or cachepot.
• Humidity preferences: Moderate to higher humidity (around 50–70%). A pebble tray, occasional light misting, or placement in a naturally humid room helps in dry homes.
• Temperature range: 18–26°C. Keep away from cold drafts and temperatures below 15°C.

Placement in the home

Place your Anthurium where daylight is steady but softened—on a hallway console near a window, a living room side table, or a bright kitchen corner. It also suits home offices where light is often indirect. If you notice fewer flowers, move it a little closer to the light source rather than increasing watering.

Care tips

Use a well-draining indoor plant mix (often with added bark or perlite) to protect the roots from sitting wet. Wipe the leaves with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and keep the natural sheen. Remove spent blooms at the base of the stem to support new growth, and feed lightly in spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertiliser at half strength.
