The Anthurium andraeanum 'Purple' brings the vibrant beauty of South American rainforests into your home. This striking houseplant features glossy, heart-shaped leaves complemented by distinctive purple blooms that add a bold splash of color to any indoor space.

Year-Round Blooming Beauty

With proper care, this Anthurium can produce its signature blooms throughout the entire year. The painted anthurium, also known as flamingo flower, tailflower, painter's palette, or laceleaf, offers continuous visual interest with adequate light and consistent watering. Each bloom emerges as a waxy, sculptural spathe that maintains its appearance for weeks.

Native Rainforest Heritage

Originating from South American rainforests, the Anthurium andraeanum naturally thrives in high-humidity environments with filtered light. This tropical heritage makes it well-suited for bathrooms, kitchens, or any space where you can maintain moisture levels. The plant flourishes in medium light conditions, preferring the dappled shade reminiscent of its native forest floor habitat.

Care Requirements

This beginner-friendly houseplant adapts well to indoor conditions when its basic needs are met. Provide medium indirect light to encourage blooming while protecting the glossy foliage from direct sun exposure. Maintain consistent moisture without waterlogging, and increase humidity through misting, pebble trays, or grouping with other tropical plants. The Anthurium's air-purifying qualities make it both decorative and functional.
