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.

Best toy, the end
Style: Sport, Size: 12in, Style: Sport, Size: 12in
Combined with the Max Glow ball, this is the best dog toy available on modern planet Earth. I have a burly 92lb. pit bull mix with highly developed prey drive, and she will chase the glow ball for hours if I let her. The tiny sport launcher (Sport 12M) is the best, because you can still throw the ball really far, but you can also slam the ball down a few feet away from yourself so it bounces up in the air and your dog has to jump to catch it, or you can throw it up really high so it bounces 15' away or so and your dog can jump to catch it. We sometimes have to play fetch in a pretty small area, so it's nice to have the small launcher for these games. The larger launchers aren't as fun in small areas. You can play the same games but it's trickier to throw the ball correctly. Also, the small launcher is a lot easier to carry. The small launcher fits in my dog-walk-stuff backpack (with the ball in the launcher so I don't have to dig for it later), but the big ones don't easily. The launcher also has a hole in the end so you can hang it from your bag or whatever with a carabiner. The big ones are too long for that in most cases, and swing back and forth. Also-also my dog loves to ask for the launcher, then when I give it to her she plays keep-away and it's adorable. The big launcher I have is harder for her to balance in her mouth, so she just lays down and chews on it until it gets taken away. She's chewed on all of the four Chuck Its we've owned, but she's only broken one (a big one), but that's because she got ahold of it when no one was home. The little one in my bag is totally chewed up but still works great. I think they're sturdier than the big ones. Except for the launcher she chewed into pieces, which was our fault, the only reason we've had to replace anything was because we lost it. Usually we keep the launcher and ball in the backpack so she can't get to them and so they don't get lost, so we rarely have to replace them. There is just not a better value in toys, and the startup price is really low. Once again I really recommend the glow ball! It doesn't get soggy no matter how wet the grass or the dog mouth is. It is fun to chase because it is slippery and it collapses when it's squeezed, so it pops out of the dog's mouth and flies away if they bite it at the wrong angle; it's really bouncy, and stays bouncy because it can't be popped; it whistles so you can usually hear it even if you can't see it; and it really glows enough for nighttime catch, even if you only have your cellphone flashlight to charge it up! UPDATE: I should have said, we have the 12M launcher, which means the handle is 12 inches long and it uses a medium-sized ball. The medium ball is 2.5 inches in diameter, so the launcher will fit regular tennis balls, too! But my dog won't play with regular tennis balls anymore because they aren't anywhere near as fun as the glow balls, and I think she doesn't like having gross sloshy muddy tennis balls in her mouth. I lost my short launcher awhile back and could only get a long one locally to replace it, which reminded me that you have to lean over a lot further to use the short launcher. So if you have trouble leaning over to the point that your hand is a foot above the ground, this may be hard for you to use. I wish Amazon would let us choose colors, because my old one was green, and the big one is orange, both of which are bright enough to see in the grass from far away, even at night. Still, best toy!

Highly recommend.
Style: Sport, Size: 12in
Love this. Dog sitting for a dog that loves to chase balls but my shoulder doesn’t like throwing them. Got this yesterday and it’s perfect. Real arm/shoulder saver. Seems sturdy and I was concerned that a standard tennis ball would not work. We tend to lose balls when walking because this lab insists on carrying the ball in its mouth. They work.

These are awesome and I couldn't play ball with my Dobermans without it!
Style: Sport, Size: 12in
I LOVE Chuckit ball launchers. We've been using for a around 17 years and we've only had to replace one. We have 2 active, energetic Dobermans and I throw like a girl and there is now way I can throw a ball very far. With the Chuckit, I can throw more than 80 feet! My dogs need a lot of exercise and using this ball thrower allows me to make that happen. Bonus is I dont have to pick up a snobbery ball :)

Not a long shot
Style: Sport, Size: 12in
This item is much smaller than I thought it would be . The ball is full sized . But the thrower is very small. Works okay. But does not throw the ball very far . It’s okay for me . My dogs are small. My yard is too . But , this is not going to throw balls really far . Like the long ones do Thsnks Eddie
