Anthurium ‘Big Red Bird’


Thick, wavy leaves rise from the central base of Anthurium ‘Big Red Bird’, building a broad bird’s-nest rosette over time. Red-toned veins or flushing add warm colour detail across the firm green foliage.

The plant gains width as the rosette expands, with foliage spreading outward from the base. A stable pot helps balance the leaf mass as mature leaves gain size and weight.



Foliage traits on Anthurium ‘Big Red Bird’


  • Growth form: Self-heading bird’s-nest habit with leaves arranged from a central base.
  • Leaf texture: Thick, firm foliage with a leathery feel.
  • Leaf edge: Wavy to undulating margins that become more noticeable as leaves size up.
  • Colour detail: Red veins or red flushing can show under suitable filtered light.
  • Leaf emergence: New leaves rise from the central crown before spreading outward.
  • Pot behaviour: Mature plants benefit from a stable pot that balances the broad rosette.


Rosette growth and indoor space


The foliage of Anthurium ‘Big Red Bird’ expands outward from the centre, so the plant needs more horizontal space as it grows. Leaves can become broad and weighty, and the pot should remain stable when the rosette leans toward the light.

Brighter filtered light can bring out stronger red tones, but the leaves should be protected from hot direct sun. A warm, sheltered indoor position with room around the rosette keeps the leaf edges from rubbing and reduces trapped moisture between crowded leaves.



Care for Anthurium ‘Big Red Bird’


  • Light: Keep it in bright filtered light. Direct sun through glass can scorch the thick leaves, especially during hot hours.
  • Water: Water thoroughly, then allow the upper layer of the mix to dry before the next watering.
  • Humidity: Moderate to higher humidity keeps leaf edges cleaner, especially while new leaves are opening from the centre.
  • Temperature: Warm, steady indoor temperatures suit the rosette best. Avoid cold drafts around the base.
  • Substrate: Use a chunky, breathable Anthurium mix so the central root mass does not stay waterlogged.
  • Pot stability: When the plant becomes wide, use a pot heavy enough to hold the rosette upright.
  • Outdoor summer care: In warm weather it can sit in a sheltered bright spot outside once acclimated, but it should come back indoors before nights turn cool.


Common issues with Anthurium ‘Big Red Bird’


  • Brown margins: Usually linked to dry air, inconsistent watering, direct sun or a root ball that has dried too far.
  • Curled leaves: Check for a dry root ball, compacted mix or heat stress near glass.
  • Reduced red colour: Lower light can soften the red flushing, while excessive sun can damage the leaf surface.
  • Root stress: Heavy wet substrate around the central base can lead to yellowing and soft roots.
  • Older leaf pests: Inspect the undersides and leaf bases for scale, mites or mealybugs.


Safety for Anthurium ‘Big Red Bird’


Anthurium ‘Big Red Bird’ should be kept away from pets and small children. Chewed leaves or stems can release calcium oxalate crystals that irritate the mouth and digestive tract.



Name etymology and background


The genus name Anthurium comes from Greek roots meaning flower and tail, referring to the spadix. The cultivated name ‘Big Red Bird’ refers to the broad bird’s-nest rosette, red-toned foliage detail and thick wavy leaves spreading from a central base.

Fun Resilient Chew Toy
Pattern Name: Octopus
I have a boxer/pit mix and she loves this! I bought it 4 months ago and it’s still going strong so I know it’s quality made and perfect for dogs that like to chew and play tug of war. It has been chew resistant for my girl and she loves the little squeak. I just throw it in the washer when I wash her bed. Great value and a safe toy that’s a good size for a medium to large dog.

Not for aggressive chewers
Pattern Name: Octopus, Pattern Name: Octopus
Rating a 3 because the dog loves it, but definitely not "indestructible". Had a tear in one leg the first day and this is 4 days later. Leg is off and stuffing is out. 6 months old, 35 lbs. It was worth a shot. You get what you pay for.

My 80 lb American bulldog and staffy mix absolutely LIVES this little octopus. He literally destroys everything but NOT the octopus, lol. It is well made and has lasted months which is a huge deal. Great buy
