About & Sizing

About The Red Anthurium

Also known as the flamingo flower, the Anthurium is the world’s longest-blooming houseplant. It is rarely without its showy blooms. These aren’t actual flowers, but modified waxy leaves that circle the pointed spadix, home to the plant's real, and very tiny, flowers. Each can last up to eight weeks—bringing a fun pop of color to your space year-round.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Yellowing is mainly contributed by overwatering, especially if you notice the soil is soggy or waterlogged. Overwatering is caused by watering too frequently, but it can also occur if your plant is in too low of light or in a potting mix that isn't well-draining. Ensure you allow at least half the soil to dry out before watering an Anthurium and provide a well-draining potting mix.

Why are my Anthurium leaves turning yellow?

If your plant has gone strictly green and refuses to flower, it’s likely a nutrient or light issue. To trigger those gorgeous spathes, try moving it closer to a bright window or give it a boost with fertilizer during the spring and summer months. Keeping humidity around 40% or higher can also help!

How do I get my Anthurium to bloom again?
