Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my Anthurium no longer blooming? The two main causes are lack of light and too low humidity. Move the plant closer to a window with bright indirect light and increase the ambient humidity. Regular flowering plant fertilizer in spring and summer also restarts 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 recognizable above all.

The Anthurium andraeanum 'Success Red', or Red Flamingo Flower, is a tropical flowering plant native to the humid forests of Central and South America. Its bright red heart-shaped spathes, held on long upright stems above shiny dark green foliage, bring a vivid and warm color that lasts for several months.

Which Anthurium variety to choose?
The Anthurium genus comes in a wide variety of colors and foliage:
- Anthurium 'Success Red' (this plant) — bright red spathes, generous and long-lasting flowering. The most classic and warm.
- 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 — original bicolor spathes. The most unique.
- Anthurium Clarinervium — spectacular velvety veined foliage, collector’s plant. The most graphic.
Exposure & placement
- Ideal exposure: bright indirect light — near a window without direct sun.
- Avoid: direct sunlight that burns the spathes and foliage, too deep shade that stops flowering.
- Temperature: 18–27 °C, without sudden changes.
- Humidity: 60-80% recommended — mist regularly.
The brighter the light (without direct sun), the more abundant and renewed the flowering. Check our light and humidity guide to find the right spot.
Watering & care
- Watering: moderate — let the top 2-3 cm of substrate dry out between waterings.
- Frequency: about once a week in spring-summer, reduced in winter.
- Water: preferably non-limestone water.
- Drainage: pot must have drainage holes — very well-draining substrate.
- Humidity: regularly mist the foliage.
- Fertilizer: diluted flowering plant fertilizer, every 2-4 weeks in spring-summer.
- Cleaning: wipe the large shiny leaves with a damp cloth.
Remove faded spathes at the base to encourage new blooms. Check out our complete watering guide to adjust the frequency.
Decor ideas & plant pairings
Its bright red spathes create an immediate colorful focal point — a plant that draws all eyes and instantly warms up a space.
- Solo: in a matte white or black ceramic decorative pot, its red spathes stand out boldly — a very effective color contrast.
- In arrangement: pair it with a Monstera deliciosa or a Calathea Medallion for a lush tropical composition where the red of the Anthurium creates a strong color accent.
- As a gift: its long-lasting flowering makes it an ideal plant gift — much longer-lasting than a bouquet of cut flowers. Find more ideas in our selection of plant gifts.
Verdeia tips
- High humidity essential — mist regularly or place a humidifier nearby. Too dry air stops flowering and browns leaf tips.
- Remove faded spathes at the base — cut the flower stem at its base as soon as the spathe ages to encourage new flower production.
- Repot every 2 years — in spring using a light, airy substrate with bark and perlite. See our repotting guide for proper steps.

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.

Shipping is done within 48 business hours, with tracked delivery within 2 to 5 business days. Delivery costs €5.60 — free for orders over €50. You will receive a tracking link as soon as the package is shipped.
What to do upon receiving my plant?
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 to 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?
