Anthurium Aqua Roots – Purple, Glass

Plant description

Anthurium Aqua Roots – Purple In Glass is a live Anthurium presented hydroponically, with its roots growing in water inside a clear glass jar. The plant’s upright habit, glossy deep-green leaves, and purple spathes create a clean, architectural look while keeping care easy and visible. At approximately 35 cm tall with a jar diameter of 17 cm, it’s sized for a dining table, kitchen counter, shelf, or a calm workspace.

This “aqua roots” setup suits Anthurium well, as the plant naturally grows as an epiphyte in humid rainforest environments, where roots are used to airflow and consistent moisture. The transparent glass keeps the composition light and minimal, and it allows you to monitor water level and root condition at a glance—useful if you prefer straightforward, predictable plant care without soil mess.

The visible root system is part of the design: pale, sculptural roots settle into the lower part of the jar while stems and foliage remain neatly upright above. In a Scandinavian interior, the clear vessel reads as functional and calm, and it pairs naturally with wood, stoneware, linen, and muted surfaces.

Plant care

• Light requirements: Bright, indirect light. Tolerates medium light, but avoid strong direct sun, which can scorch leaves and warm the water in the glass.
• Watering routine: Keep the roots covered with clean water and top up as the level drops. Refresh the water about every 2–3 weeks to keep it clear and oxygenated.
• Humidity preferences: Moderate to higher humidity (around 40–60%+). In dry rooms, light misting around the plant (not into the flowers) or placing it near other plants can help.
• Temperature range: 18–26°C. Protect from cold drafts and avoid placing directly next to radiators or heat sources.

Growth and characteristics

• Plant species: Anthurium (water-grown “aqua roots” presentation)
• Approx. size at delivery: Height 35 cm; glass diameter 17 cm
• Leaf / flower type: Glossy green leaves with purple spathes; blooms can last for weeks in stable indoor conditions
• Growth habit: Compact, upright; moderate growth with steady warmth and light

Placement in the home

Place your Anthurium Aqua Roots where you can enjoy it up close: on a dining table, sideboard, hallway console, bedside table, or an office desk. An east- or north-facing window is often ideal. In brighter south- or west-facing rooms, position it a little back from the glass to protect the foliage and keep the water temperature stable.

Care tips

Keep the glass clear: Rinse the jar during water changes to reduce algae and mineral haze. If you have hard tap water, filtered water helps the glass stay cleaner for longer.

Check the roots: Healthy roots look firm and pale. If you notice soft or dark sections, refresh the water more frequently and trim away any decay with clean scissors.

Feed lightly: If desired, add a very diluted houseplant fertiliser occasionally in spring and summer. Water-grown roots are sensitive, so less is better.
