🌱 Care Guide

☀️ Light:
Bright, indirect light is ideal. Avoid harsh direct sunlight, which can scorch its delicate velvety leaves.

💧 Water:
Water when the top 2–3 cm of the growing medium begins to dry. Keep the roots lightly moist but never waterlogged.

💦 Humidity:
Prefers high humidity, ideally around 70–85%. Consistent humidity is particularly important for healthy leaf development.

🌡️ Temperature:
Prefers warm conditions between 20–28°C. Protect from cold draughts and temperatures below 18°C.

🪴 Soil:
Use a chunky, airy Anthurium mix containing orchid bark, perlite, sphagnum moss and quality potting mix. Good drainage and airflow around the roots are essential.

🌿 Fertiliser:
Feed with a diluted, balanced liquid fertiliser every 2–4 weeks during active growth. Avoid over-fertilising.

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