About This Plant
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Anthurium ‘Banderola Lava’ is a striking, collector-grade Anthurium celebrated for its fiery lava-red and orange bicolour spathes that rise on slender upright stems. The glossy, heart-shaped deep-green foliage creates a dramatic backdrop for the blazing blooms. This designer cultivar is especially loved in modern Indian homes where a bold pop of warm colour instantly elevates any shelf, console or office desk.
