Identifying a Mystery Plant with Tuberous Roots and Red Flowers

Based on your description—tuberous roots like an orchid and glossy red flowers similar to a peace lily—your plant is almost certainly an Anthurium.

Care Tips

• Light: It would benefit from more bright, indirect light. A north or east windowsill is ideal.
• Pot size: The current pot appears too large, which keeps the soil wet too long. Avoid repotting; instead, let the plant grow into the pot.
• Watering: Allow the top half-inch of soil to dry between waterings.

Anthuriums are rewarding houseplants when their light and moisture needs are met.
