🌱 Care Guide

☀️ Light:
Prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid harsh direct sunlight, which can scorch its leaves and damage the delicate foliage.

💧 Water:
Water when the top 2–3 cm of the growing medium begins to dry. Allow excess water to drain completely and avoid keeping the roots constantly wet.

💦 Humidity:
Enjoys moderate to high humidity, ideally around 60–80%. Consistent humidity helps support healthy foliage and new growth.

🌡️ Temperature:
Prefers warm conditions between 18–28°C. Protect from cold draughts and sudden temperature changes.

🪴 Soil:
Use a chunky, well-draining Anthurium mix containing orchid bark, perlite, sphagnum moss and quality potting mix.

🌿 Fertiliser:
Feed with a diluted, balanced liquid fertiliser every 2–4 weeks during active growth. Reduce feeding during cooler months.

🐾 Pet Friendly:
No. Anthuriums contain calcium oxalate crystals and can be toxic if chewed or ingested. Keep away from pets and children.
