Care Instructions:
- Light: The Anthurium thrives in bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can scorch the leaves and cause the flowers to fade, so it’s best to place it near a window with filtered sunlight or in a well-lit room. It can tolerate low light, but flowering may be reduced.
- Watering: Water the Anthurium when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry to the touch. Be sure to water thoroughly, allowing excess water to drain from the pot. It prefers evenly moist soil but is susceptible to root rot, so avoid overwatering or letting the plant sit in water.
- Temperature: This plant prefers warm, humid conditions and thrives in temperatures between 65°F and 80°F (18°C to 27°C). Keep it away from cold drafts, air conditioners, or heaters, which can cause stress to the plant.
- Humidity: As a tropical plant, the Anthurium loves humidity. To keep it healthy, mist the leaves regularly, or place the plant on a humidity tray. If your home is dry, especially in winter, increasing humidity will help keep your plant vibrant.
- Soil: Plant your Anthurium in a well-draining, lightweight potting mix that retains moisture without becoming waterlogged. A mix designed for tropical plants works best to ensure healthy root growth.
- Fertilizing: Feed the Anthurium with a balanced, liquid fertilizer once a month during the growing season (spring and summer). In fall and winter, when growth slows down, reduce feeding to every 6-8 weeks.
- Pruning: To maintain the plant’s attractive appearance, remove any yellow or dead leaves. Deadheading the spent blooms will encourage new flowers to develop and keep the plant looking fresh.
