Anthurium Care Guide

Prefers bright, indirect light — too much direct sun = scorched leaves, too little = leggy growth and no blooms.
East or north-facing windows are ideal indoors.
Flowering Anthuriums need more light to keep blooming, while foliage types like clarinervium or crystallinum tolerate slightly lower light.

Anthuriums love moisture—but not too much:

Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry.
Keep evenly moist during the growing season, but let the soil dry a bit more in winter.
Avoid soggy roots—root rot is the enemy.

💡 Tip: Anthuriums prefer filtered or distilled water, especially if your tap water is hard or chlorinated.

Use a well-draining, chunky, and airy mix — these are epiphytic plants in the wild!

Repot every 1–2 years or when roots outgrow the pot. Use pots with good drainage.

Thrives in 65–85°F (18–29°C) — keep away from drafts, AC vents, or cold windows.
Requires high humidity (60–80%) to thrive.
- Use a humidifier or place the plant on a pebble tray.
- Great for bathrooms or grouped with other tropicals.

Feed every 4–6 weeks in spring and summer using a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer or one formulated for blooming plants.
Don’t overfeed — they’re light feeders.
Cut back feeding in fall and winter.

Flowering Anthuriums (A. andraeanum) bloom best when:

Each flower (technically a spathe and spadix) can last 6–8 weeks, with several blooms per year.

Remove spent blooms and yellow or damaged leaves at the base with clean shears.
Wipe down leaves regularly to remove dust and help prevent pests.
