Care Guide
Light
Provide bright, indirect light. Good light encourages healthy growth and helps the plant produce larger, more attractive leaves. Avoid strong direct sunlight, which can scorch the foliage.
Watering
Water when the top layer of the growing medium has started to dry. Keep the roots evenly hydrated but never allow the plant to sit in stagnant water.
Temperature
Prefers warm conditions between 18°C and 28°C. Protect from cold draughts and temperatures below 15°C.
Humidity
Enjoys moderate to high humidity. Consistent humidity can help support healthy new foliage and reduce crispy leaf edges.
Soil
Use a chunky, airy Anthurium mix containing orchid bark, perlite, coco coir and other well-draining materials. The roots need plenty of oxygen.
Feeding
Feed every 2–4 weeks during spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertiliser, diluted according to the manufacturer's instructions.
 
One of the most exciting things about growing Anthurium hybrids is watching each new leaf develop. Young foliage may emerge in lighter shades before gradually hardening into its mature colour and texture.
Good light, warmth, humidity and consistent care can encourage stronger and larger new leaves as the plant matures.
