Anthurium Aqua Roots – Red, Green, Glass

Plant description

Anthurium Aqua Roots ‘Atlantis Livium’ is a live Anthurium presented in a clear glass jar with the roots growing in water. This water culture setup keeps the plant clean and contained—no soil, no compost spills—while making the root structure part of the design. At around 35 cm in height with a jar diameter of around 17 cm, it suits a dining table, kitchen counter, desk, or reception area where you want greenery with a calm, minimal look.

The plant’s glossy, deep green leaves create a dense, upright shape. Above the foliage, the waxy, heart-shaped spathes appear in a controlled red-pink tone with a pale spadix. The clear vessel highlights the contrast between foliage and the pale, tangled roots below the water line—an easy way to add a botanical focal point without adding more pots to your space.

Plant care

• Light requirements: Bright, indirect light. Tolerates medium light, but blooms best with steady daylight. Avoid strong direct midday sun through glass.
• Watering routine: Keep the roots partially submerged in clean, room-temperature water. Top up as the level drops and refresh the water regularly to prevent cloudiness and odour.
• Humidity preferences: Moderate to higher humidity. Most homes are suitable; in very dry rooms, raise humidity nearby (for example with a bowl of water) rather than misting into the jar.
• Temperature range: 18–26°C. Keep away from cold drafts, open windows in winter, and temperatures below 15°C.

Placement in the home

Place your Anthurium Aqua Roots where it receives consistent, indirect daylight: on a sideboard in the living room, a hallway console with ambient light, or a work desk out of direct sun. The clear glass jar works especially well with pale woods, stone, stainless steel, and muted textiles, and the soil-free format makes it a practical choice for kitchens and offices where you want tidy surfaces.

Care tips

For best results, replace the water before it turns cloudy and rinse the glass to keep the presentation crisp. If you notice residue, gently lift the plant and swill the roots in clean water—avoid scrubbing or bending them sharply. Remove faded blooms at the base to keep the plant neat and to support new flowering. Wipe leaves with a soft, slightly damp cloth so the plant can photosynthesise efficiently.
