Anthurium Plant Care Guide

Placement

The Anthurium will do well in a room that gets a medium amount of natural light. Bright, sunny windows should be avoided. To encourage even growth, rotate the plant every few months once it begins to lean towards the light.

Light Requirements

Medium to bright indirect light. Direct sunlight should be avoided.

Watering Needs

Water moderately so that the soil remains damp, not soggy. Water when the surface becomes slightly dry. When watering, water the plant with fresh water lightly and slowly from above, allowing water to soak through to the roots, then tip out any excess water. Dry soil should be avoided.

Temperature Preferences

Does well at temperature between 65°F - 70°F. Cold temperatures should be avoided. Avoid placing the plant near cold drafts as well as air conditioning or heating vents.

Humidity Tolerance

Requires higher levels of humidity, around 75% or above. If the air around the plant is too dry, use a humidifier or occasionally mist the plant to increase humidity.

Repotting Needs

The plant can live happily in the provided pot for 2-3 years. Check if the plant is ready to be repotted by touching the soil and seeing if it has become loose, or if the roots have become overgrown. Repot using a rich, well-draining soil. When your plant is ready to be repotted, you can follow our simple how-to guide.

Unhealthy Plant Signs

Yellowing leaves may be a sign of overwatering. Shrivelled or wrinkled leaves are a sign of underwatering. Browning leaf tips or edges indicate that the plant is getting too much sunlight.
