Anthurium — the flamingo with long-lasting flowers

The Anthurium is the indoor plant that flowers the longest — its waxy, colorful spathes last for several weeks and renew throughout the year without a resting period. Native to the tropical forests of Central and South America, it comes in a flowering version (flamingo pink) and a foliage version (Clarinervium, Crystallinum), two facets of the same spectacular genus.

Anthurium Red: the classic flamboyant

Anthurium Red (flamingo flower) is the most iconic — its glossy red heart-shaped spathe with a yellow spadix is recognizable from a mile away. It is the most vigorous and flowering variety: under good conditions, it produces a new flower every 6 to 8 weeks, each lasting 4 to 6 weeks before fading. The Anthurium Success Red (H43 cm, Pot Ø14) is the large size, with wider spathes and a more imposing stature.

Anthurium White and Sweet Dream: soft elegance

Anthurium White offers the same heart shape but in pure white — a sober elegance that fits into bright and minimalist interiors. The Anthurium Sweet Dream (pale pink) is the most delicate, with almost pastel pink spathes. These two varieties are the most requested as ready-to-gift plants: discreet, refined, they suit all tastes and occasions.

Anthurium Black Love: dark and velvety

Anthurium Black Love is the most original variety — its spathes are a burgundy so deep they appear black under certain lights. It is the collector’s piece of the collection, the one that surprises and fascinates. Paired with a matte black or gray ceramic pot, it becomes a decorative object in its own right. Its dramatic character makes it the most striking gift for someone who loves unusual plants.

Anthurium Calon and Jungle Bush: modern hybrids

Anthurium Calon is a compact hybrid with generous spathes and dense foliage. Anthurium Jungle Bush stands out with a bushier habit and abundant dark green foliage among which the spathes emerge — a wilder, more natural look than the classic varieties. These two modern hybrids are selected for their abundant flowering and indoor resilience.

Anthurium Clarinervium and Crystallinum: the foliage collection

Anthurium clarinervium (velvet heart) and Anthurium crystallinum are not grown for their flowers but for their exceptional foliage. The Clarinervium has large heart-shaped, matte dark green leaves with raised white veins — a natural pattern of fascinating precision. The Crystallinum adds a crystalline sheen that shines under light. These are collector plants prized by enthusiasts — the original and rare plants collection includes these species with extraordinary foliage.

Care for Anthurium

Anthuriums are tropical plants that like warmth (18-25°C), ambient humidity, and bright indirect light. Water when the substrate is dry on the surface — on average once a week. Avoid stagnant water in the saucer and direct sun that burns the spathes. Regular misting of the foliage or a tray of moist clay pebbles promotes flowering. The foliage varieties (Clarinervium, Crystallinum) require more humidity than the flowering varieties. The finger test method remains the most reliable way to adjust watering frequency according to the season.

Anthurium in decor

Anthurium is one of the few indoor plants to bring color permanently without depending on a flowering season. The Red on a living room piece of furniture brings a bright glow. The White on a bedside table creates a calming atmosphere. The Black Love on a desk is a conversation piece. The Clarinervium solo on an entry console draws the eye with the complexity of its foliage. Anthuriums pair especially well with Spathiphyllum (same Araceae family): white and red side by side create a classic and elegant contrast. The plant guide by room helps choose the most suitable variety according to the brightness of each space.
