anthurium special Anthurium rose — 'Special Gift for You' Flowered

Which Anthurium to choose?

The catalog offers several anthuriums with distinct colors and characters. Here is how to place the Pink 'Spirit' among the available varieties:

• Pink Anthurium 'Special for you' (this plant) — pearly salmon pink spathes, gift size with decorative pot included. The most romantic and generous gift version.
• Red Anthurium — classic bright red spathes, very long flowering. The choice for an intense red and a very strong presence.
• White Anthurium — very pure cream white spathes. The choice for a very elegant white match in a contemporary interior.
• Anthurium 'Black Love' — almost black burgundy spathes, very graphic. The most original and sophisticated choice in the range.
• Anthurium clarinervium — large dark green velvety leaves with silver veins, without spectacular flowering. The choice for foliage rather than flowers.

Exposure & location

The anthurium enjoys bright indirect light — too dark, it flowers little and its leaves become leggy; too much direct sun, its spathes fade and its leaves burn. The right light-water balance is key to maintaining almost continuous flowering throughout the year.

• Exposure: bright indirect light — east or west windowsill, sheltered from direct sun.
• Location: living room, bedroom, office, entrance hall — any sufficiently bright room.
• Temperature: 18 to 26 °C — very sensitive to cold drafts and temperatures below 15 °C.
• Humidity: mist the foliage regularly — the dry air from heating is its main enemy in winter.

A room heated to 20-22 °C with bright indirect light perfectly reproduces the conditions of the high-altitude tropical forests of Colombia where the anthurium originates — it is the ideal location for continuous flowering throughout the year.

Watering & care

The anthurium prefers a slightly moist substrate without ever being waterlogged — its tropical root system does not tolerate excess water well. Mist the foliage 2 to 3 times a week to restore the tropical humidity it needs. To maintain it throughout the seasons, the monthly plant care calendar details the actions for each period.

• Watering: moderate — let the substrate dry slightly on the surface between waterings.
• Frequency: once a week in spring-summer, every 10 days in winter.
• Water: preferably at room temperature — cold water shocks the roots.
• Drainage: the included decorative pot has no hole — place the growing pot inside and empty excess water after each watering.
• Fertilizer: liquid fertilizer for flowering plants diluted by half, once a month in spring and summer.
• Faded spathes: cut them at their base as soon as they discolor to allow the plant to focus its energy on the new ones.

Clean the large leaves with a damp cloth once a month — the dust that settles on them reduces their ability to capture light and slows the formation of new spathes.

Decor ideas & plant pairings

The salmon pink spathes of the anthurium create a warm and bright focal point in an interior. It fits into a romantic plant composition as well as a solitary plant in its decorative pot gift.

• For a very generous pink floral gift duo, pair it with the Pink Kalanchoe 'Special for you' in the same ceramic decorative pot — the two pink flowering plants in their matching pots create a very coherent and very romantic double plant gift.
• For a very graphic tropical composition, pair the anthurium with an Anthurium clarinervium with large velvety leaves — the pink spathes of the Spirit and the silver-veined foliage of the clarinervium create two very different interpretations of the same tropical genus.
• For a very clean pink and white combination, the white Anthurium placed next to the Pink creates a very elegant two-tone duo — the same waxy spathes in two opposite shades, very visually coherent.
• To accompany the anthurium in a new decorative pot after flowering, the Elho Vibes Fold decorative pot in powder pink Pot Ø14 cm extends the pink palette in a more contemporary style with drainage — ideal for repotting the plant in a suitable container.

The anthurium is especially appreciated in living spaces like the living room or bedroom — its continuous flowering and large glossy leaves bring a lasting tropical presence without complex care requirements.

Verdeia tips

• Mist the foliage rather than increasing watering: the anthurium needs atmospheric humidity more than water in the substrate — misting the foliage 2 to 3 times a week recreates the humid tropical microclimate it needs and stimulates the formation of new spathes much more effectively than increased watering.
• Maintain a constant temperature above 15 °C: the anthurium is very sensitive to temperature drops and drafts — a location away from windows in winter and air conditioning vents in summer is essential to maintain continuous flowering throughout the year.
• Cut off faded spathes at their base as soon as they discolor: a spathe left on the stem consumes energy that could support the formation of a new one — regular removal keeps the plant in a continuous flowering cycle rather than in spaced episodes.
