Variant

Anthurium Purple, aka the Purple Tail Flower, Purple Flamingo Flower, is an exotic and visually striking variety of Anthurium, well-known for its vibrant purple flowers. It features large, glossy, heart-shaped leaves that provide a lush green backdrop to its prominent spathes. The spathes—often mistaken for flowers—are actually modified leaves that showcase a rich, deep purple colour, surrounding the true flowers, which are the spadix, typically a spike in the center that contrasts subtly with the purple. Anthurium Purple adds a touch of tropical flair to any interior and is often used as a decorative indoor plant due to its colourful and lasting appeal.

What to expect

The plant comes with a default nursery pot. The nursery pot is usually 0.5" - 1" smaller than stated to fit into the same size decorative pot. Washable Paper Planter Bags are sold separately.

As with all living things, no two plants are alike. There is some natural variation in size, shape, and characteristics. We make every effort to bring you a plant that as closely as possible matches the plant as it appears on our website, in the size you have chosen, and have a good potential to happily grow in your home.

Care Guide

How to take care of Anthurium Purple

Sun: Indirect

Anthurium Purple should not be in a position to see the sun directly, although early morning or late evening sun is fine. Filtered sunlight through a sheer curtain is best and most homes are comprised primarily of indirect sunlight. The best spot for them is where they do not see the sun during the majority of the day but still get bright, indirect light.

Light: Medium

Anthurium Purple will do well in medium light, but will grow faster and flower more prolifically with brighter light. A good medium-light place in your home would be in the middle of a room that has a regular size window. Remember that plants will grow based on how much light they receive.

Water: When half dry

Anthurium Purple needs to be watered when the top half of the soil is dry to the touch. That usually takes about 1 week in an average home environment. It will vary depending on the time of year, your environment and lighting conditions, but it's always safer to underwater or give the soil a check before you water again.

Humidity: High

Anthurium Purple likes a high humidity environment, give them a mist daily or as often as possible. Alternatively, you can put them around a humidifier. Although they won't die if they don't receive enough humidity, their leaves may have some dry, crunchy, or yellow edges.

Pet Caution

Anthurium Purple is moderately toxic and can cause some adverse reactions when ingested so it is best to not let your pets eat it, which we advise for all plants in general. The severity of the reaction will depend on how much of the plant is ingested but, if you know your pet typically does not eat your plants, this plant will be suitable for your home.

Plant Story

Introducing the Anthurium Purple, a strikingly beautiful houseplant known for its vivid purple flowers that bring a touch of exotic elegance and a burst of colour to any indoor space. This plant is not just a visual delight; it symbolizes passion, hospitality, and the richness of life.

The Anthurium Purple features large, glossy leaves and brilliant purple spathes, which are often mistaken for flowers but are actually brilliantly coloured leaf-like bracts. These bracts surround the true flowers, which are tiny and arranged on a central spike. The deep purple colour is uncommon among houseplants, making it a distinctive choice for plant enthusiasts looking to add a splash of colour to their collection.

To ensure your Anthurium Purple thrives, place it in bright, indirect light. Too much direct sunlight can scorch its leaves, while too little light may reduce its blooms. This requirement teaches us the importance of finding balance and the right environment to flourish—lessons applicable to both plants and people.

Watering your Anthurium Purple should be done with care; keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Proper drainage is crucial to prevent root rot, underscoring the need for balance in nurturing and care.

The Anthurium Purple is also known for its air-purifying qualities, removing toxins from the environment. This makes it not only a beautiful addition to your home but also a beneficial one, improving the air quality and bringing a piece of tropical beauty into your living space.

Welcome the Anthurium Purple into your home, and let it inspire you with its lush foliage and stunning purple hues. It's not just a plant; it's a symbol of warmth, a flourish of passion, and a reminder of the exotic beauty that nature holds. Embrace this vibrant plant as a celebration of life's vivid, colourful moments.
