Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the Anthurium 'Sweet Dream' and the red Anthurium? The 'Sweet Dream' has very soft and delicate powder pink spathes, while the red Anthurium has much more intense bright red spathes — same care, two opposite decorative effects.
Why are the spathes of my Anthurium turning green? The greening of the spathes is a natural phenomenon that occurs at the end of flowering — the spathe ages and gradually turns green, which is the signal to remove the entire flower stem and wait for the next bloom.

🌸 Glossy powder pink spathes • ☀️ Bright indirect light • 💧 Moderate watering • 🌿 Almost continuous blooming • 🐾 Toxic to pets
Native to the humid tropical forests of South America, the Anthurium andreanum 'Sweet Dream' is an epiphytic plant that naturally grows in the shade of the canopy, which explains its tolerance for indirect light indoors. Its glossy powder pink heart-shaped spathes, held on long slender stems above deep shiny green foliage, make this Anthurium one of the most long-lasting flowering indoor plants in the catalog — each flower lasts several weeks.
Which Anthurium variety should you choose?
Our catalog offers several Anthurium varieties with very different colors and foliage:
- Anthurium 'Sweet Dream' (this plant) — glossy powder pink spathes, almost continuous blooming, shiny green foliage (H35 cm | Pot Ø12 cm). The softest and most romantic version.
- Red Anthurium — bright glossy red spathes, generous and very colorful blooming. The most classic and brightest version.
- White Anthurium — elegant cream white spathes, dark green foliage. The cleanest and most minimalist version.
- Anthurium 'Amor Negro' — almost black burgundy spathes, very graphic. The rarest and most contrasting version.
- Anthurium clarinervium — large dark green velvety leaves with silvery white veins, no decorative blooming. The collector’s foliage version.
Light & location
- Light: bright indirect light — never direct sun, which burns the spathes and foliage. The brighter the light, the more abundant the blooming.
- Ideal: bright living room, office, bedroom, or bright bathroom near an east- or north-facing window.
- Temperature: 18 to 25 °C in a slightly humid atmosphere.
- Substrate: light, airy, and well-drained — flowering plant potting mix with added perlite and bark.
Watering & care
- Watering: moderate — water about once a week when the top of the substrate dries out. Mastering watering is especially important for Anthuriums, whose roots rot quickly in soggy substrate.
- Water: use filtered water or water left to stand — hard water stains the spathes and browns the leaf tips.
- Drainage: essential — pot with drainage holes and saucer, empty excess water after each watering.
- Humidity: prefers 60–70% ambient humidity — mist the foliage regularly, never the flowers.
- Fertilizer: every 2 to 3 weeks in spring-summer, diluted liquid fertilizer for flowering plants.
- Care: remove faded flowers at the base to encourage new blooms.
Decor ideas & plant pairings
- Floral duo: pair it with a Spathiphyllum with white flowers — the powder pink and white create a soft and very elegant floral composition, two epiphytic plants with similar needs for a hassle-free pairing.
- Graphic contrast: place it in front of a Calathea makoyana with graphic green and cream foliage — the pink spathes stand out against the detailed leaves for a very successful tropical-style composition.
- Ideal pot: a pink textured ceramic decorative pot extends the pink palette of the spathes, or a white Gabriel pot for a clean contrast.
Verdeia tips
- Remove faded flowers right at the base of the stem: don’t just cut the spathe but the entire flower stem down to its base — this triggers the production of a new flower and maintains continuous blooming.
- Clean its leaves regularly: dust dulls the shine of the deep glossy green foliage and reduces photosynthesis — a damp cloth wiped every 3 to 4 weeks is enough.
- Repot every 2 years in spring: a root-bound Anthurium blooms less generously — repot it into a slightly larger pot with light, airy substrate to restart vigorous blooming.

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.
