Know before you buy
The Red Anthurium is known as the world's longest-blooming houseplant and is rarely without flowers. Each individual bloom can last up to eight weeks, and with proper care, the plant will continue to produce new flowers throughout the year.
This plant prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight, which can scorch the glossy leaves, or in low-light corners, which may inhibit its ability to produce new blooms.
No, the Red Anthurium is not pet-safe. It contains calcium oxalate crystals, which can cause irritation if ingested by cats or dogs, so it is best kept in a location out of reach of curious pets.
While it is considered an easy-care plant, the Anthurium thrives in higher humidity environments. You can boost humidity by misting the leaves occasionally, grouping it with other plants, or placing it in a well-lit bathroom.
At maturity, this plant typically reaches a height of 12 to 16 inches. It arrives in a nursery grow pot and is a compact size, making it an excellent choice for tabletops, desks, or shelves.
