Anthurium Banderola Lava - 100mm

Anthurium Banderola Lava is a striking tropical foliage plant admired for its richly coloured blooms and glossy green leaves. Its compact growth makes it a great choice for bright indoor spaces, office desks, or covered patios where it can add colour throughout the year.

Anthurium andraeanum 'Banderola Lava' is known for its vibrant, deep lava-red spathes paired with contrasting yellow to cream spadices, creating an eye-catching display. The lush, dark green foliage forms a neat clump beneath the flowers, giving the plant year-round ornamental appeal even when not in peak bloom.

Its tidy growth habit makes it well suited to apartments, indoor shelves, tabletops, and decorative pots. With the right care, this cultivar can produce flowers repeatedly, making it a popular choice for both new plant owners and experienced collectors looking for long-lasting indoor colour.

Want your plant with a pot?

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

Care

Light

Place in a bright position with plenty of indirect light. Avoid prolonged direct afternoon sun, which 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 leaving the plant sitting in water.

Temperature

Prefers warm conditions between 18°C and 28°C. Protect from cold temperatures and frost.

Humidity

Anthuriums appreciate moderate to high humidity. If your home is particularly dry, occasional misting or placing the plant near other foliage plants can be beneficial.

Soil

Use a free-draining indoor plant or aroid potting mix containing materials such as bark, perlite, and coco coir to promote healthy root growth.

Fertiliser

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

Good to know

The colourful "flower" is actually a modified leaf called a spathe, while 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, keep out of reach of pets and children, as the plant contains calcium oxalate crystals that can cause irritation if chewed.
