Frequently asked questions
Why is my Anthurium no longer blooming? The two main causes are lack of light and humidity that is too low. Move the plant closer to a window with bright indirect light and increase the ambient humidity. Regular feeding with flowering plant fertilizer in spring and summer also helps restart blooming.
What is the difference between an Anthurium spathe and flower? The spathe is the large heart-shaped colored part — it is actually a modified leaf, not a flower. The true flower is the spadix, the small elongated appendage in the center. This unique structure is what makes the Anthurium instantly recognizable.

🌺 Long-lasting bright red spathes • 🌿 Glossy dark green heart-shaped foliage • ☀️ Bright indirect light • 💧 Moderate watering • 🌸 Recurring flowering throughout the year
The Anthurium andraeanum 'Success Red', or red flamingo flower, is a flowering tropical plant native to the humid forests of Central and South America. Its bright red, heart-shaped spathes, borne on long upright stems above glossy dark green foliage, bring a vivid, warm color that lasts for several months. Each spathe can stay decorative for 2 to 3 months, and flowering can recur throughout the year. H43 cm | Pot Ø14 cm.
Pair it with other Anthuriums.
Which Anthurium variety should you choose?
The Anthurium genus comes in a wide variety of colors and foliage:
- Anthurium 'Success Red' (this plant) — bright red spathes, generous, long-lasting flowering. The most classic and the warmest.
- Anthurium White — elegant white spathes. The most refined and understated.
- Anthurium Black Love — dark purple, almost black spathes. The most dramatic.
- Anthurium Sweet Dream — soft pink spathes. The most romantic.
- Anthurium Calon — unusual two-tone spathes. The most unique.
- Anthurium Clarinervium — spectacular velvety veined foliage, a collector's plant. The most graphic.
Light & placement
- Ideal light: bright indirect light — near a window without direct sun.
- Avoid: direct sun, which burns the spathes and foliage, and deep shade, which stops flowering.
- Temperature: 18–27 °C, without sudden fluctuations.
- Humidity: 60-80% recommended — mist regularly.
The brighter the light (without being direct), the more abundant and frequent the flowering. Its ideal location depends on the balance between light and humidity.
Watering & care
- Watering: moderate — let the top 2-3 cm of substrate dry out between waterings.
- Frequency: about once a week in spring and summer, reduced in winter.
- Water: preferably soft, lime-free water.
- Drainage: a pot with drainage holes is essential — very well-draining substrate.
- Humidity: mist the foliage regularly.
- Fertilizer: diluted flowering plant fertilizer every 2-4 weeks in spring and summer.
- Cleaning: wipe the large glossy leaves with a damp cloth.
Remove faded spathes at the base to encourage new blooms. The watering frequency varies with the season.
Decor ideas & plant pairings
Its bright red spathes create an instant splash of color — a plant that catches every eye and instantly warms up a space.
- On its own: in a matte white or black ceramic decorative pot, its red spathes stand out strongly — a very effective color contrast.
- In a grouping: pair it with a Monstera deliciosa or a Calathea Medallion for a lush tropical arrangement where the red of the Anthurium creates a strong pop of color.
- As a gift: its long-lasting blooms make it an ideal plant gift — far longer-lived than a bouquet of cut flowers. A lovely idea among plant gifts.
Verdeia tips
- High humidity is essential — mist regularly or place a humidifier nearby. Air that is too dry stops flowering and turns the leaf tips brown.
- Remove faded spathes at the base — cut the flower stem at its base as soon as the spathe ages to encourage new flowers.
- Repot every 2 years — in spring, in a light, airy substrate with bark and perlite. A single repotting in spring is enough, into a pot only slightly larger.

Will the plant look exactly like the photo?
The photos accurately represent the variety and the stated size. Since each plant is unique, slight differences in shape, foliage, or color may occur — and that’s part of their charm.

Orders ship within 48 working hours, with tracked delivery in 2 to 5 working days via DPD. Shipping costs and the free-shipping threshold depend on your country — see our delivery page. You receive a tracking link as soon as your parcel leaves.
What should I do when my plant arrives?
Open your package as soon as you receive it and carefully remove the plant from its packaging. Let it acclimate for 24 hours in its new environment before watering. If it has been slightly stressed during transport, it will recover its shape after one or two days in the light.
What should I do if my plant arrives damaged?
Contact us within 48 hours with a photo of the issue. Our team will assess the situation and offer you the best solution: replacement, partial refund, or recovery advice.
Can I return a plant?
