Frequently asked questions
How can I extend the blooming of my Anthurium? Place it in bright indirect light, remove faded spathes as soon as they lose their shine, and fertilize every 4 to 6 weeks in spring and summer.
Why are the bracts of my Anthurium fading? Lack of light is the most common cause — move the plant closer to a window without direct sunlight and the color will return on the next bracts.

🌸 Bright red bracts • 🌿 Glossy foliage • 💧 Moderate watering • 📏 H36 cm | Pot Ø12 cm
The Anthurium Calon, also known as the Flamingo flower, is a variety with bright red bracts and glossy deep green foliage - a bold, luminous bloom that contrasts with the dark burgundy tones of the Anthurium Black Love. Native to the humid forests of Central and South America, it brings an immediate tropical touch to modern interiors. Pair it with Anthuriums and indoor flowering plants.
Easy to care for and generous with its blooms, the Anthurium Calon is ideal for brightening a living room, office, or entryway all year round - its bracts can last for several months in good conditions.
Light & placement
The Anthurium Calon thrives in a bright environment without direct sun, which would quickly burn its bracts and delicate foliage.
- Light: bright indirect light to partial shade - an east- or north-facing window is ideal.
- Ideal for: bright living room, office, bedroom, entryway.
- Temperature: 18 to 26 °C, protected from cold drafts.
- Potting mix: rich, airy, and well-draining.
Watering & care
- Watering: moderate - about once a week; let the potting mix dry slightly between waterings. Proper watering should be guided by how dry the potting mix is, which helps prevent overwatering.
- Humidity: enjoys a humid atmosphere - mist the foliage regularly or group plants together.
- Fertilizer: every 4 to 6 weeks from spring to autumn, using fertilizer for flowering plants.
- Cleaning: gently wipe the leaves with a damp cloth to maintain their shine.
- Repotting: every 2 years in a slightly larger pot, using an airy mix for epiphytes.
Decor ideas & plant pairings
Its bright red bracts make it an accent plant that immediately draws the eye - it works particularly well displayed alone on a light-colored surface that highlights its color.
- Floral duo: pair it with the Anthurium Black Love, with almost-black burgundy bracts - two Anthuriums, two contrasting personalities, and a graphic, cohesive floral arrangement.
- Tropical arrangement: combine it with a Spathiphyllum with white flowers - the bright red and white contrast creates a luminous, balanced effect.
- Decorative pot: a white or gold decorative pot makes the bright red bracts stand out without competing with them - avoid warm tones that clash with the plant's color.
Verdeia tips
- Remove faded spathes: as soon as a bract loses its vibrancy, cut it at the base - this encourages new flowers and keeps the plant in a continuous flowering cycle.
- Use soft water: use filtered water or water left at room temperature - limescale dulls the glossy foliage and interferes with the absorption of nutrients needed for flowering.
- Reduce watering in winter: space out waterings and move the plant away from radiators - the dry heat from heating systems is the Anthurium's main enemy indoors.

Our Verdeia commitments
FAQ – Everything to know before adopting your Verdeia plant
How are my plants prepared before shipping?
All our plants are selected from our European partner nurseries. Before shipping, they are watered, cleaned, and protected with breathable, secure packaging. Each package is designed to ensure your plant arrives in perfect health, without any transport-related stress.
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.
What are the delivery times and conditions?
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?
Since plants are living beings, standard returns are not possible. However, we guarantee good health upon delivery: if the plant arrives damaged, it will be replaced free of charge. For any other cases (order error, decorative pot, accessory), returns are possible within 14 days.
