A glossy-leaved plant with long-lasting waxy flowers in bright indirect light. 100% Local
Water when the top 2–3 cm of soil is dry, roughly weekly.
Check the top of the soil with your finger or a meter before watering instead of following a fixed calendar. In brighter, warmer conditions Anthurium uses water faster, while cool or shaded spots need a longer gap. Water thoroughly until it drains, then empty any water left in the saucer so the roots never sit in it.
Anthurium grows best in bright indirect light. Keep it where that level stays consistent through the day, and avoid sudden moves that can shock the plant.
If light is too weak, growth becomes thin and stretched; if direct midday sun is too strong, leaves can scorch. Rotate the plant every few weeks so all sides receive even light.
Feed with a diluted feed every 2–4 weeks in the growing season. Always water the soil first so fertilizer does not burn dry roots, and dilute to the strength recommended on the label.
Most plants only need feeding during active growth and should be left alone in the dormant season. Overfeeding causes salt build-up and leaf-tip burn, so when in doubt, feed less.
Plan to repot every 1–2 years, in spring. Move into a pot only one size larger, using airy, well-draining potting mix.
Repot when roots circle the drainage holes or the plant dries out unusually fast. Water lightly after repotting and keep the plant out of strong direct sun for a week while it settles.
Yellowing leaves usually point to overwatering, poor drainage or a nutrient imbalance. Check that the airy, well-draining potting mix is drying between waterings, move Anthurium out of cold draughts, and trim the oldest yellow leaves so the plant can put energy into new growth.
Root rot appears as soft, dark, bad-smelling roots, wilting despite wet soil and rapid yellowing. Let the mix dry more between waterings, use airy, well-draining potting mix, and repot into fresh mix after cutting away any mushy roots.
Few flowers usually points to too little light or too much nitrogen. Give the plant brighter indirect light and switch to a fertilizer higher in phosphorus to encourage blooms.
Water when the top 2–3 cm of soil is dry, roughly weekly. Always check the top of the soil first, because light, temperature and pot size all change how fast it dries.
According to the data used here, Anthurium is toxic to cats and dogs. If a pet has chewed the plant, contact your vet.
Anthurium prefers bright indirect light. Keep that level consistent and avoid strong direct midday sun, which can scorch the leaves.
Anthurium grows best at 18–27°C (65–80°F). Protect it from cold draughts and sudden temperature swings.
Plan to repot every 1–2 years, in spring. Repot sooner if roots circle the drainage holes or the plant dries out unusually fast.
