Anthurium Banderola Lava is a striking tropical indoor plant admired for its rich lava-red blooms, glossy green leaves, and compact growth habit. Its bright colour and tidy shape make it a beautiful choice for indoor shelves, office desks, tabletops, decorative pots, and covered patios.

Also known as Anthurium andraeanum 'Banderola Lava', this variety produces vibrant red spathes with dark red spadices, creating a bold and eye-catching display.

With the right care, Anthurium Banderola Lava can flower repeatedly, making it a lovely option for anyone wanting long-lasting indoor colour. It is well suited to bright indoor spaces and is a great choice for both new plant owners and experienced collectors.

Want your plant with a pot?

This plant has been grown in a 100mm nursery pot, which is a helpful size guide if you are choosing a decorative pot for your home. We usually ship plants bare root for freshness and to help keep delivery costs down, but we are happy to pot your plant on request.

Care

Light

Place your Anthurium Banderola Lava in a bright position with plenty of indirect light. Avoid prolonged direct afternoon sun, as it may scorch the leaves and flowers.

Watering

Water when the top few centimetres of the potting mix begin to dry. Keep the mix lightly moist, but avoid overwatering or leaving the plant sitting in water.

Temperature

This plant prefers warm conditions between 18°C and 28°C. Protect it from cold drafts, frost, and sudden temperature changes.

Humidity

Anthuriums enjoy moderate to high humidity. If your home is dry, occasional misting or placing the plant near other indoor plants can help support healthy growth.

Soil

Use a free-draining indoor plant or aroid potting mix. A mix containing bark, perlite, and coco coir can help improve airflow around the roots and reduce the risk of waterlogging.

Fertiliser

Feed with a balanced liquid fertiliser during spring and summer, following the product directions. Reduce feeding during the cooler months when growth naturally slows.

Good to know

The colourful part often called the “flower” is actually a modified leaf called a spathe. The true flowers develop on the central spadix. Remove spent blooms and older leaves to keep the plant looking tidy and encourage fresh growth.

As with many Anthuriums, this plant should be kept out of reach of pets and children, as it contains calcium oxalate crystals that may cause irritation if chewed.
