Anthurium Aqua Roots – Red, Clear Glass Jar, Soil Free Hydroponic Water Culture Live Plant
Plant description
Anthurium Aqua Roots ‘Red Champion’ is a live indoor Anthurium grown soil-free, with its roots placed directly in water inside a clear glass jar. Delivered at approximately 35 cm tall with a 17 cm jar diameter, it’s sized for a dining table, kitchen counter, shelf, or reception desk where you can enjoy both the foliage and the visible root system.
The plant carries deep green, glossy leaves with a firm, heart-shaped structure. Above the foliage, the Anthurium’s long-lasting red spathes sit on upright stems, each with a contrasting yellow spadix. The transparent jar makes everyday care straightforward: you can see the water level at a glance and monitor root condition without disturbing the plant.
This “water roots” presentation reflects the Anthurium’s epiphytic background—plants that naturally grow on trees in humid rainforest environments, where roots are exposed to air and frequent moisture. In the home, it offers a clean look with less mess than soil-based pots, while still keeping the plant healthy and stable.
Plant care
- Light requirements: Bright, indirect light. Tolerates medium light, but blooms best with steady daylight. Avoid harsh direct sun, especially midday.
- Watering routine: Keep roots submerged in clean, room-temperature water. Top up when the level drops and refresh the water every 1–2 weeks to keep it clear.
- Humidity preferences: Moderate to higher humidity (around 40–60%+). In dry rooms, place nearby plants together or mist the air around the plant (avoid spraying the flowers directly).
- Temperature range: 18–26°C. Protect from cold drafts and avoid temperatures below 15°C.

Placement in the home
Place your Anthurium in water where it receives bright, filtered light—near an east- or north-facing window is often ideal. On a sideboard, open shelf, or dining table, the clear glass jar reads clean and calm, while the visible roots add an honest, botanical detail. In south- or west-facing rooms, keep it a little back from the glass to prevent leaf scorch and to reduce algae growth in the jar.
Care tips
For a clear, fresh setup, rinse the jar and gently swish the roots when you change the water. If the water turns cloudy or develops a smell, refresh sooner and trim away any soft, decaying root sections with clean scissors. Turn the jar occasionally so the plant grows evenly, and wipe the leaves with a damp cloth to keep their natural sheen and help the plant photosynthesise efficiently.
