Anthurium scherzerianum
This anthurium has beautiful, red, heart-shaped "flowers" which are actually morphed leaves called spathes. Anthurium spathes are brightly colored to attract pollinators to the spadix (the flower spikes in the middle). It's fairly low-maintenance, and blooms can last for 2-3 months in the right conditions.
Medium to bright indirect light. Direct light burns her leaves.
SM: ~12" tall and a 4" pot.
MD: ~18" tall and a 6" pot.
Pro-tip: Brighter light equals a brighter bloom. If it stops blooming altogether, it needs to be moved to higher light.
