Anthurium
Glossy, heart-shaped blooms over dark green leaves – long-lasting and elegant in a living room or office.
Description
Anthurium is one of the loveliest flowering indoor plants. Its glossy, heart-shaped blooms last for weeks above dark green leaves. It adds an elegant touch to a living room, majlis or office, and keeps reflowering through the year in good light.
Why an anthurium?
- Glossy, colourful blooms that last.
- Handsome green leaves between flowerings.
- Four colours: red, white, yellow, light pink.
- A compact size for tables and shelves.
Where to put it
In a bright spot with indirect light: a side table in the living room or majlis, or a desk near a window, away from direct sun and AC draughts.
Care in the Saudi climate
- Light: bright, indirect light; direct sun scorches the leaves and low light means fewer flowers.
- Water: keep the soil lightly moist and water when the surface dries, with no water left in the saucer.
- Humidity: it likes humidity; dry AC air can cause brown tips, so group it with other plants or stand it on a tray of wet pebbles.
- Soil and feeding: a light, airy mix, and a light feed in spring and summer.
- Temperature: normal room temperature; it dislikes cold.
Caution
Anthurium is toxic to cats and dogs if eaten (ASPCA), and its sap can irritate the mouth and skin; keep it away from pets and small children.

Three quick questions.
We'll tell you whether Anthurium suits your space, and which height to pick.
Pick the height that suits your space.
Heights are measured from the base of the nursery pot to the tip of the tallest frond. Each plant is unique — expect a few centimetres of variation.

Three things to get right.
Lighting
Loves bright, indirect light near a window. Direct sun scorches the leaves, and low light reduces flowering.
Watering
Water when the surface dries, until it drains, then empty the saucer. It dislikes both soggy soil and long dry spells.
Temperature & humidity
Normal room temperature suits it; it dislikes cold and the direct AC draught that dries the leaves.

When the surface of the soil is dry – often once a week in air-conditioned rooms. Never leave it standing in water.
Usually not enough light. Move it to a brighter spot with indirect light, and give it a light feed in spring and summer.
Usually dry air, AC draughts or uneven watering. Keep it away from vents and raise the humidity around it.
No. Anthurium is toxic to cats and dogs if eaten (ASPCA).
