Anthurium ‘Zizou Red’ is a striking houseplant known for its glossy green foliage and long-lasting, deep red blooms. What looks like a flower is actually a colorful spathe surrounding the plant’s tiny true flowers, giving Anthuriums their signature bold appearance.
This plant thrives indoors in warm, humid conditions with steady moisture and good airflow. Bright, indirect light encourages the most frequent blooming, while lower light may reduce flower production. Use a chunky, well-draining potting mix and avoid letting the roots sit in soggy soil.
Anthuriums are excellent for adding color to indoor spaces year-round, and their blooms can last for weeks at a time. Like many tropical houseplants, they appreciate extra humidity, making them a great choice for kitchens, bathrooms, or near a humidifier.
With the right balance of light and watering, ‘Zizou Red’ is a rewarding plant that brings a polished, modern look to any plant collection.
