Understanding Anthurium Red: Characteristics and Origins

The Anthurium Red, scientifically known as Anthurium andraeanum, is a captivating houseplant celebrated for its vibrant red spathes and glossy green leaves. Commonly referred to as the Red Anthurium, Flamingo Flower, or Laceleaf, this plant is a favorite among indoor gardeners for both its aesthetic appeal and relatively low-maintenance nature.

Originating from the tropical rainforests of Central and South America, the Anthurium Red thrives in environments that mimic its native habitat. In the wild, it is accustomed to the warm, humid conditions of the understory, where it benefits from dappled sunlight and rich, well-draining soil. This background provides essential insight into its care requirements when cultivated as a houseplant.
