Care Guide

Care Guide:

Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Can tolerate low light, but the plant will flower less frequently in low-light conditions.

Ideal Room: Suitable for living rooms, offices, or bathrooms with indirect light and high humidity.

Feeding: Fertilize every 4-6 weeks during the growing season with a balanced liquid fertilizer.

Humidity: Thrives in high humidity; mist regularly or place on a humidity tray to maintain moisture levels.

Ideal Temperature: Best kept between 65°F and 80°F (18°C to 27°C). Avoid exposure to temperatures below 50°F (10°C).

Watering: Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Be careful not to overwater as this can lead to root rot. Make sure the pot has good drainage.

Pet/Child Safe: Toxic to pets and children if ingested. Keep out of reach to prevent accidental poisoning.

Soil Type: Use a well-draining potting mix, such as one designed for aroids, or a mix of peat, perlite, and orchid bark.

Propagation: Propagate by stem cuttings or by division during repotting. Make sure the cuttings have at least one node for successful rooting.

Eventual Height and Spread: Can grow up to 18 inches (45 cm) tall and 12 inches (30 cm) wide under optimal conditions.

Growth Rate: Moderate to slow-growing, particularly in cooler months.

Pests and Treatment: Watch for pests like aphids, mealybugs, and spider mites. Treat infestations promptly with insecticidal soap or neem oil.

Repotting: Repot every 1-2 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Choose a pot with drainage holes to allow excess water to escape.

Pruning: Prune dead or damaged leaves regularly to maintain the plant’s shape and appearance. Remove spent flowers to encourage new growth.

Air Purification: Known for its air-purifying qualities, removing harmful toxins such as formaldehyde from the air.

Folklore: Anthurium plants are often considered symbols of hospitality, love, and good luck in various cultures, making them a thoughtful gift for loved ones.
