ANTHURIUM PLANT CARE

Anthurium, also known as flamingo flower or laceleaf, is a beautiful flowering plant prized for its vibrant, heart-shaped flowers and glossy foliage. Here's a guide on how to care for Anthurium indoors:

Sunlight

  • Indirect Light: Anthuriums thrive in bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can scorch their leaves, so place them near a window where they get filtered light.
  • Artificial Light: If natural light is insufficient, you can use fluorescent or grow lights to supplement.

Watering

  • Moderate Watering: Water the plant when the top inch of the soil feels dry. Anthuriums like to be kept moist but not waterlogged.
  • Drainage: Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent water from accumulating at the bottom. Overwatering can lead to root rot.

Humidity

  • High Humidity: Anthuriums prefer a humid environment. Aim for humidity levels above 60%.
  • Misting: Regularly mist the leaves with water or use a humidifier to maintain humidity.
  • Pebble Tray: Placing the pot on a tray filled with pebbles and water can also help increase humidity around the plant.

Temperature

  • Warm Temperatures: Maintain temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C). Avoid exposing the plant to temperatures below 55°F (13°C) or sudden temperature fluctuations.
