Anthurium Andreanum Dark Red – Gift Plants

Caring for anthuriums is relatively straightforward. Here are some key maintenance tips:

Light

• Indirect Sunlight: Place in bright, indirect light. Too much direct sunlight can scorch the leaves.

Watering

• Moderate Watering: Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.

Humidity

• High Humidity: Anthuriums prefer humidity levels around 60-80%. Mist the leaves or use a humidifier, especially in dry climates.

Temperature

• Warm Environment: Keep in temperatures between 65°F to 80°F (18°C to 27°C). Avoid cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.

Soil

• Well-Draining Potting Mix: Use a lightweight potting mix that retains moisture but drains well, like a mix designed for orchids.

Fertilizing

• Balanced Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).

Pruning

• Remove Dead Leaves: Trim away any yellow or dead leaves to encourage new growth and maintain appearance.

Repotting

• Every 2-3 Years: Repot when the plant outgrows its container, typically every couple of years, using fresh potting mix.

With these simple steps, your anthurium can thrive and bring vibrant beauty to your space!
