How to care for your Anthurium

Our instructions for helping it grow healthy and strong

Anthurium, also known as "flamingo flower", is a perennial plant native to Colombia, prized for its glossy leaves and vibrant flowers. In our nursery, Anthurium is appreciated for its ability to bring a touch of elegance and color to any indoor environment.

The right location

Anthurium prefers bright but indirect light. Avoid direct midday sun, which could damage the leaves. Place it in a bright room, but away from direct sunlight.

When and how to water it

In summer, water Anthurium every 7 days, while in winter you can reduce the frequency to every 14 days. Make sure the first 3 cm of soil are dry before watering. This will help prevent overwatering, which is one of the main causes of problems for this plant.

Temperature and humidity

Anthurium thrives in an environment with temperatures between 18°C and 28°C. Keep humidity between 60% and 80% to ensure the plant's maximum well-being. If the air is too dry, consider using a humidifier or misting regularly.

The right fertilizer

During spring and summer, fertilize Anthurium every 21 days with a balanced liquid fertilizer. This will provide the nutrients needed to support growth and flowering.

The pot and soil

Choose a pot with good drainage to prevent waterlogging. Although there are no detailed specifications for the type of soil, a well-draining substrate rich in organic matter is ideal for Anthurium.

Our final tip

Anthurium is a plant that enjoys attention, but not excess. Regularly monitor the condition of the soil and environment to ensure your plant receives the care it needs. With a little care, Anthurium will reward you with its unique beauty.
