Anthurium Andraeanum – Red, Ceramic Pot

Anthurium andraeanum (often called flamingo flower) is a live, flowering houseplant known for its glossy, deep green leaves and long-lasting red spathes with upright flower spikes. This plant arrives styled in a ribbed ceramic pot with a smooth, glossy glaze and fine vertical lines that keep the look clean and structured. With an overall height of around 40 cm and a pot diameter of 16 cm, it’s sized for everyday surfaces—compact enough for a desk or shelf, but with enough presence to read clearly across a room.

The balance between foliage and container is what makes this arrangement work so well in calm interiors: the Anthurium’s sculptural flowers add colour without looking busy, while the vertically ribbed pot adds tactile detail without introducing pattern. Anthuriums also hold their blooms for weeks in steady conditions, making them a reliable choice when you want a plant that stays neat between waterings.

Plant care

• Light requirements: Bright, indirect light. Tolerates medium light, but flowers best with more daylight. Avoid strong midday sun on the leaves.
• Watering routine: Water when the top 2–3 cm of soil feels dry. Keep soil lightly moist, never soggy. Let excess water drain fully to reduce the risk of root rot.
• Humidity preferences: Moderate to higher humidity. In dry rooms, group with other plants or use occasional misting around (not directly on) the flowers.
• Temperature range: 18–26°C. Keep away from cold drafts and avoid temperatures below 15°C.

Growth and characteristics

• Plant species: Anthurium (Anthurium andraeanum type)

• Leaf / flower type: Glossy, heart-shaped leaves; red spathes with a central spadix
• Growth speed: Slow to moderate indoors, with repeat flowering in good light

Placement in the home

Place your Anthurium where it gets steady daylight without harsh sun—on a living room sideboard, a bright shelf, or a hallway console close to a window. It also suits a home office desk because the plant stays upright and contained, with flowers that don’t sprawl. For longer-lasting blooms, keep it away from radiators and cold window glass, and aim for consistent light rather than frequent moves.

Care tips

Wipe leaves with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and support healthy photosynthesis. Rotate the pot every few weeks for even growth. If the plant is supplied in a grower’s pot inside the ceramic pot, treat the ceramic as an outer cover: lift the inner pot out to water, allow it to drain completely, then place it back. This simple routine helps avoid standing water at the roots.
