The Red Diamond Flamingo Lily Anthurium, which is also known as the Anthurium andraeanum, is a stunning flowering houseplant. It produces glossy, heart-shaped red spathes with an upright flower spike at the centre, creating a striking contrast against its dark green foliage. Each flower has a small upright spike in the centre, and it sits above dark green leaves. The red against the green is a striking combination that stands out, making this plant a great addition to a shelf, desk, or as a centrepiece in your living space.

The Red Diamond Flamingo Lily is relatively straightforward to care for when given the right growing conditions. With suitable warmth, humidity and bright, indirect light, the plant can produce new blooms at different times of the year. It likes a warm, bright room out of direct sun, and a bit of humidity stops the leaf tips from browning. The 9cm size suits a desk or windowsill, while the 11cm gives you a bigger, bushier plant with more flowers. Browse more colours in our anthurium plants collection.

Watering Water when the top few centimetres of compost begin to dry, then water thoroughly and allow excess water to drain away. Do not leave the plant sitting in standing water, as consistently wet roots can lead to rot. Growth slows in winter, so reduce watering frequency during cooler, darker months.

Best Growing Conditions Grow in bright, indirect light, ideally at around 18-26°C, away from cold draughts and sudden temperature changes. Use a good-quality, well-drained houseplant compost and make sure excess water can drain freely from the pot. Most houseplants perform best with moderate humidity and should be kept away from strong radiator heat.

Why has my anthurium stopped flowering?

Anthuriums may stop flowering because of insufficient light, unsuitable temperatures or changes in growing conditions. Place your plant somewhere warm with bright, indirect light, and water when the compost is approaching dryness. With suitable care, it may produce new flowers again.

Are the red parts real flowers?

Not quite. The shiny red heart is a spathe, which is a coloured leaf that protects the real flowers. Those are tiny and packed along the upright spike in the middle. It's the spathe's tough, waxy texture that keeps the colour looking fresh for so long.

What should I do when a flower turns green or brown?

A flower that turns green or brown is simply the old bloom fading. It is a normal part of the plant’s bloom routine. Follow the stem down to where it meets the base of the plant and cut it off there with clean scissors. This keeps the plant tidy and lets it put its energy into new flowers.

Why are the leaf tips going brown?

The most common cause of leaf tips going brown is dry air, especially near a radiator in winter. Uneven watering can do it too. Prevent this from happening by standing the pot on a tray of damp gravel, keeping it away from heaters, and watering when the top of the compost dries.

Is the anthurium safe for cats and dogs?

No. The flamingo lily is poisonous to both cats and dogs. Its sap holds sharp calcium oxalate crystals, so a pet that chews a leaf or flower may drool, paw at its mouth or be sick. Keep it on a high shelf, away from your pets’ reach.

Top tip

Turn the pot a quarter turn every week or two so the plant develops evenly, and wipe broad leaves occasionally to keep them free of dust. Good drainage is especially important, so avoid leaving the roots sitting in persistently wet or compacted soil.
