Do this when you get home
- Put it somewhere bright, out of direct sun
- Anthuriums are usually in moss or bark. Water when the surface feels dry. The roots hate sitting wet.
Day to day
- It likes humid air. Mist around the leaves often.
- Water the roots. Don't leave water in the pot bottom or the saucer.
- When a bloom fades to green or black, cut it off at the base
- In winter, keep it above 15°C
Common questions
The leaves are yellow?
Usually too much water and rotten roots, or the light is too dim. Hold back water, then move it somewhere brighter.
The red "flower" turned green?
That's normal aging. Cut it off at the base. New blooms will come.
