anthurium black love Red flamingo flower — Anthurium Black Love

Exposure & location

Anthurium Black Love prefers indirect natural light and bright rooms without direct sun. It adapts very well to apartment living and grows easily in a living room, bedroom, or office.

• Exposure: bright indoor with partial shade — an east or north-facing window is perfect.
• Ideal for: living room, bedroom, or office.
• Temperature: between 18 °C and 26 °C, protected from cold drafts.
• Substrate: light, rich, and well-drained potting soil.

Watering & care

• Watering: about once a week — let the surface of the substrate dry slightly between waterings.
• Drainage: essential to avoid water stagnation and root rot risk.
• Fertilizer: every 6 to 8 weeks in spring and summer to support flowering.
• Humidity: prefers a slightly humid atmosphere — mist the foliage occasionally or group several plants together. Our light and humidity guide gives you all the keys.
• Maintenance: remove faded flowers to encourage new blooms.

Decor ideas & plant pairings

With its deep red bracts and glossy foliage, Anthurium Black Love is an ideal accent plant — placed on a console or side table, it commands attention at eye level.

• Pair with: a Calathea medallion placed beside it — the green and burgundy marbled foliage of the Calathea echoes the dark tones of the bract and creates an immediate texture contrast.
• Decorative pot: a white Gabriel decorative pot or a gold Mayk contrasts elegantly with the dark tones of the bract.
• In classic red version: pair it with its counterpart the Anthurium Red for a graphic and intense floral duo.

Verdeia tips

• Non-calcareous water: use filtered or room temperature water — lime dulls the foliage and disrupts nutrient absorption.
• Avoid direct sunlight: it burns the bracts and quickly fades the colors — Anthurium prefers soft, consistent light.
• Stimulate flowering: systematically remove faded spathes and lightly fertilize in spring to encourage new bracts.
