Care tips

THE ANTHURIUM PREFERS A LOCATION PROVIDING LIGHT

The Anthurium requires a place that provides it with light but not direct sunlight. If the plant is placed where it will not receive enough light, it will produce fewer flowers.

THE BEST PLACE TO KEEP AN ANTHURIUM HAPPY

The Anthurium is a houseplant that responds best to a temperature from 15°C to 25°C.

WATER THE PLANT ON A REGULAR BASIS

Give the Anthurium some lukewarm water once or twice a week. Its root ball should be kept moist. Be careful, however, not to make the root ball too wet; this will result in leaves that start to turn colour. During the winter months, the Anthurium will enjoy being misted with a plant sprayer now and then.

ANTHURIUM MAINTENANCE

As the Anthurium produces new flowers and leaves, the older leaves and flowers will turn colour after a while. Simply snip away any yellow leaves and withered flowers with a pair of scissors. Be sure to cut the leaf or flower off as close to the soil level as possible.

GIVE THE ANTHURIUM SOMETHING EXTRA

Fertilise the plant around twice a month from March until the end of October by providing it with Anthurium nutrients added to the irrigation water.
