Arrived overnight, looking exactly like the photos
Ordered Tuesday at 8 PM, delivered Wednesday by 9:30 AM. Plant was healthy, tall (about 16 inches), came in the charcoal pot exactly as shown. The packaging was thoughtful — wood shavings, tied stems, no soil spill. Two weeks in and it's already pushed out a new leaf.

Survived me. That's a big deal.
I have killed every plant I have ever owned. Got this for the bedroom. Watered it once in 6 weeks. Still alive, still growing. The team also responded on WhatsApp within an hour when I asked if it was getting too much sun. Not paid to say this.

Beautiful plant, slightly smaller than expected
Plant itself is gorgeous and very healthy. Only minor gripe — I expected the medium size to be taller, but it's closer to 14 inches than 18. Still very happy with it. The Khurja ceramic pot is honestly the best part.

About the Anthurium Red
The Anthurium Red is a tropical flowering plant belonging to the Araceae family, known for its distinctive heart-shaped spathes and glossy green leaves. Native to Central and South America, this plant has adapted well to Indian indoor conditions, making it a popular choice for home and office decor. The vibrant red blooms are actually modified leaves called spathes, which surround the true flowers on a spike-like structure called a spadix. Anthuriums are slow growers but produce flowers year-round with proper care, adding continuous color to your space. At gardengro, we source healthy specimens with well-developed root systems to ensure your plant establishes quickly and thrives in its new home.
Light & Placement
Anthurium Red plants prefer bright, indirect light for optimal growth and flowering. In Indian homes, a spot near an east or west-facing window with filtered light is ideal. Avoid direct afternoon sun, which can scorch the leaves. These plants can tolerate lower light conditions but may produce fewer flowers. For best results, place your Anthurium where it receives 2-4 hours of indirect morning light and then shade for the remainder of the day. In offices or rooms with limited natural light, supplement with grow lights during darker months. Proper placement ensures vibrant foliage and continuous blooms while maintaining the plant's air-purifying capabilities.
Watering & Humidity
Anthuriums prefer consistent moisture but are sensitive to overwatering. Water thoroughly when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry, allowing excess water to drain completely. In India's climate, this typically means watering every 5-7 days, but adjust based on your home's temperature and humidity. These plants appreciate higher humidity levels (60-70%), which you can maintain by placing the pot on a pebble tray with water or using a room humidifier. Misting the leaves occasionally helps, but avoid wetting the flowers to prevent fungal issues. During winter, reduce watering frequency as the plant's growth slows. Proper watering prevents root rot while keeping the foliage lush and the blooms vibrant.
Pet Safety & Toxicity
Important note: Anthurium plants contain calcium oxalate crystals, which can cause irritation if ingested by pets or humans. The sap may cause skin irritation in sensitive individuals. If you have curious pets or small children at home, place your Anthurium in an elevated location where it's out of reach. In case of accidental contact, wash the affected area with soap and water. While the plant is toxic if eaten, its air-purifying benefits make it worth keeping with proper precautions. Many pet owners opt for hanging planters or high shelves to enjoy their Anthurium safely. Always wash your hands after handling the plant, especially before eating.
