Growing Conditions & Care Requirements
Light
Prefers bright, indirect light for best blooming. Direct sunlight may scorch leaves, while too little light reduces flowering. Fluorescent lighting also works well, making it suitable for offices.
Watering
Keep soil consistently moist, but not waterlogged. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Always ensure good drainage, as anthuriums are sensitive to root rot. Mist occasionally to mimic humidity but avoid wetting the flowers too often.
Soil
Use a loose, well-aerated mix such as:
- Orchid bark
- Perlite
- Peat moss or coco coir
Anthuriums grow best in airy soil that allows oxygen to reach the roots.
Temperature & Humidity
Thrives in warm temperatures: 65–80°F (18–27°C). Prefers high humidity (60–80%). Keep away from cold drafts, AC vents, and sudden temperature changes.
Fertilizer
Feed with a balanced or high-phosphorus fertilizer every 6–8 weeks during spring and summer. Avoid over-fertilizing, as it can cause leaf burn.
Repotting
Repot every 1–2 years to refresh soil and support healthy root growth. Choose a pot with ample drainage holes.
