Anthurium Red

Anthurium Red

Anthurium Red (Anthurium × andraeanum) is a popular tropical evergreen houseplant prized for its dramatic, glossy heart‑shaped spathes and rich green leaves. The bold red spathes are actually modified leaf bracts that surround the central spadix and can persist on the plant for many weeks, producing a colourful focal point in any room. 

Easy to grow and well‑suited to indoor conditions or shaded patios, Anthurium Red thrives in bright, indirect light and regular moisture. Its evergreen foliage remains attractive year‑round, while the red blooms bring long‑lasting tropical colour to planting displays, living spaces, and offices. Adaptable and low‑maintenance with the right conditions, this anthurium plant is perfect for adding vibrant personality to gardens in Pretoria and Johannesburg.
