MAINTENANCE

Like most indoor plants, Anthuriums require a humid environment to grow best. They will need a drink when the soil dries up to the first third of the pot and require regular misting, especially during winter. Ideally, place your Anthurium in a good indirect light zone, away from direct sun, which could scorch its foliage. To increase humidity, set it on a layer of pebbles covered with a thin layer of water.

When you take possession of your plant, make sure you assess its watering needs. Before you give it a drink the first time, check the soil’s moisture level to verify whether or not it is moist near the surface. It is best to aerate the soil before the initial watering since it is often compacted to avoid shifting during transit. This also allows it to breathe and release moisture.

Rotate your plant periodically in order to encourage an even growth. Cleaning the leaves regularly will stimulate proper photosynthesis. As you wipe the foliage, inspect the leaves on either side to make sure there are no pests.
