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.

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 and long-lasting flowering. The most classic and warmest.
- Anthurium White — elegant white spathes. The most refined and understated.
- Anthurium Black Love — deep purple, almost black spathes. The most dramatic.
- Anthurium Sweet Dream — soft pink spathes. The most romantic.
- Anthurium Calon — original bicolored spathes. The most unique.
- Anthurium Clarinervium — spectacular velvety veined foliage, a collector's plant. The most graphic.
Exposure & location
- Ideal exposure: bright indirect light — near a window without direct sun.
- To avoid: direct sun, which burns the spathes and foliage, and overly 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 recurring the flowering. Its ideal location depends on the balance between light and humidity.
Watering & care
- Watering: moderate — let the top 2-3 cm of the substrate dry out between waterings.
- Frequency: approximately once a week in spring and summer, reduced in winter.
- Water: preferably use non-hard water.
- Drainage: a pot with drainage holes is essential — use a 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 frequency of watering should be adjusted according to the season.
Decor ideas & plant pairings
Its bright red spathes immediately create a colorful focal point — a plant that draws 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 powerfully — a highly effective color contrast.
- As part of a grouping: pair it with a Monstera deliciosa or a Calathea Medallion for a lush tropical arrangement in which the Anthurium's red creates a bold color accent.
- As a gift: its long-lasting flowers make it an ideal plant gift — far longer-lasting than a bouquet of cut flowers. A lovely idea among the plant gifts.
Verdeia tips
- High humidity is essential — mist regularly or place a humidifier nearby. Air that is too dry stops flowering and causes the leaf tips to turn brown.
- Remove faded spathes at the base — cut the flower stem at its base as soon as the spathe begins to age to encourage new flowers to grow.
- Repot every 2 years — in spring, using a light, airy substrate with bark and perlite. Repotting in spring is sufficient, using 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.

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.
