Anthurium
The Anthurium plant is known for its arrow-shaped green leaves and large waxy flowers that bloom throughout the year.
-
Their ability to thrive in a wide range of light conditions—from bright, indirect light to low light—makes them adaptable to many environments..
However, they may grow a bit slower in low light and not produce as many flowers, but they can still survive. If you're aiming for the best growth and blooms, providing them with bright, indirect light will be ideal.
-
Anthurium prefer evenly moist soil, but are forgiving if you forget to water them.
Check the soil by sticking your finger about 1–2 inches deep. If it feels dry, it's time to water. If it still feels moist, wait a few more days.
When you water, make sure to water thoroughly so that the excess drains out of the bottom of the pot. This ensures the aerial roots get a good drink.
Anthurium also prefer higher humidity so spritzing the leaves or placing near a humidifier is ideal.
-
Anthurium prefer a light, well-draining, but moisture-retaining soil. A standard houseplant mix works well, but adding a little perlite or orchid bark for extra aeration can be helpful. Providing moss or orchid bark also helps with retaining moisture.
During the growing season (typically spring and summer), you can fertilize your Anthurium about once a month. In fall and winter, when the plant is generally in a dormant phase, it’s best to reduce fertilizing or stop altogether.
Occasionally fertilizing and repotting, you’ll encourage steady growth and keep your Anthurium looking lush and vibrant.
