Bright indirect spot — no cold draughts
Anthurium
Light requirement
Ideal near a south or west-facing window — bright room, out of direct rays.
Glossy, waxy spathes in deep red that last for months. Long-flowering, architectural, and more tolerant of indoor conditions than most tropical plants. A reliable wow factor.

Let the top few centimetres dry before watering, then water well. Anthuriums tolerate brief dry spells better than soggy roots.
Upright, medium-sized — works well on the floor or a plant stand.
Keep away from cats and dogs. Use the pet-safe filter to find safer alternatives.
Reliable in most indoor environments with regular watering.
