Anthurium ‘Big Red Bird’ (Anthurium sect. Pachyneurium)

Long, lance-shaped leaves emerge green and turn red in bright light or cool temperatures. The foliage has a slight wave on the edges and some crinkle in the leaf. ‘Big Red Bird’ is in the Anthurium genus in the section called Pachyneurium. These are birds-nest anthuriums with a rosette growth habit and the emerging leaves are rolled inward towards the central leaf vein. In bright light, the central leaf vein is reddish, just like the leaves. Grow in bright indirect light in the home or partial shade outside. Keep the soil lightly moist. This is an excellent plant for indoor gardens since it’s resilient and hard to kill. When grown outdoors in tropical locations, ‘Big Red Bird’ can reach up to 6’ tall with 3’ long leaves. It’s truly impressive!
