Anthurium Andreanum – Burgundy Red, Green
Plant description
Anthurium ‘Red Champion’ (Anthurium andreanum) is a compact, flowering indoor plant known for its long-lasting, burgundy-red bracts and deep green, heart-shaped leaves. Delivered at around 40 cm in height (including pot), it comes planted in a ribbed, glazed ceramic pot with a calm, modern profile and a subtle shine. With a 16 cm pot diameter, it is an easy choice for shelves, side tables, and desks where you want colour without a large footprint.
The glossy red bracts are often mistaken for flowers; the true flowers sit on the pale yellow spadix. Under stable indoor conditions, the bracts can remain attractive for weeks, and the plant can produce new blooms across the year. This makes Anthurium a practical alternative to short-lived cut flowers—especially when you prefer a tidy plant that keeps its form.
The ceramic pot adds structure and weight, with vertical rib detailing that reads cleanly against wood, stone, linen, and matte surfaces. The glazed finish is easy to wipe and helps keep the overall look intentional and uncluttered—well suited to Scandinavian interiors.
Plant care
- Light requirements: Bright, indirect light for best flowering. Tolerates medium light, but avoid strong midday sun which can scorch leaves and bracts.
- Watering routine: Water when the top 2–3 cm of soil feels dry. Water thoroughly, then let excess drain away; do not leave roots sitting in water.
- Humidity preferences: Moderate to higher humidity. Occasional light misting, a pebble tray, or grouping plants together helps in dry winter air.
- Temperature range: 18–26°C is ideal. Keep above 15°C and away from cold drafts, radiators, and chilly window panes.

Placement in the home
Place your Anthurium where it gets consistent daylight without harsh sun—on a living room sideboard near a window, a hallway console with natural light, or a home office desk. Its height works well under shelves and alongside low décor objects, while the 16 cm pot size keeps it neat on smaller surfaces. For longer-lasting blooms, choose a spot with stable temperature and avoid frequent moves.
Care tips
Use a well-draining indoor plant mix and a pot setup that allows excess water to escape. Wipe the leaves with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and support healthy growth. When a bract fades, cut the stem close to the base with clean scissors—this keeps the plant tidy and encourages new growth. During spring and summer, a balanced houseplant fertiliser at a light dose can support regular flowering.
