Anthurium Flamingo Flower – Dark Red

Plant description

This live Anthurium (flamingo flower) is delivered planted in the Bologna ceramic pot with a glossy, dark red glaze and a clean vertical ribbed surface. With a pot diameter of Ø16 cm and a listed total presentation height of approx. 40 cm (plant in pot), it is sized for shelves, sideboards, desks, and small tables where you want greenery that stays compact and tidy.

The Anthurium is valued for its structured, heart-shaped foliage and long-lasting red spathes with upright spadices. The leaves are naturally glossy and hold their shape well indoors, giving the plant a calm, architectural look even between flowering cycles. The ribbed ceramic planter adds quiet texture; the curved, fluted profile catches light without adding visual noise, which makes it easy to combine with pale woods, stone surfaces, and muted textiles.

Plant care

• Light requirements: Bright, indirect light. Tolerates medium light, but avoid strong direct sun, especially midday, which can scorch leaves.
• Watering routine: Water when the top 2–3 cm of soil feels dry. Keep the root zone evenly moist, never waterlogged. Empty any excess water from a saucer or outer pot.
• Humidity preferences: Moderate to higher humidity. If indoor air is dry (often in winter), mist occasionally or place near other plants to create a slightly more humid microclimate.
• Temperature range: 18–26°C. Avoid cold draughts and temperatures below 15°C.

Placement in the home

For the best balance of leaf health and flowering, place the plant where it receives steady daylight without harsh sun. A living room sideboard near a window with a sheer curtain works well, as does a bright hallway console or a calm workspace. Because the plant stays relatively upright and compact, it suits open shelving and smaller surfaces where trailing plants can feel messy.

The dark red, ribbed ceramic pot brings controlled colour and a clear silhouette. It sits well against light Scandinavian timbers and neutral walls, and the glossy finish reflects surrounding light—useful in rooms that feel flat during darker months.

Care tips

Rotate the plant every couple of weeks for even growth. Wipe the leaves with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and support photosynthesis. If flowering slows, move the plant slightly closer to the light source and feed with a balanced houseplant fertiliser at half strength in spring and summer. The ceramic pot has a shiny surface—use a felt pad underneath on delicate wood or stone to prevent marks.
