Light
Keep your Anthurium in a brightly lit location. They are susceptible to sunburn so protecting them from direct light is important. If your plant isn’t producing blooms, or the spathes are small it is an indication that it needs more light.
Warmer temperatures will produce more blooms. When your plant is kept in a cool location it starts to go dormant.
Water
Anthuriums are fairly drought-tolerant if provided adequate humidity levels. Watering when the first 2 inches of soil are dry to the touch should keep your plant happy. Be cautious of how often your water. Anthuriums fleshy roots make them susceptible to root rot if given too much water. Make sure to empty any standing water from under the plant as well.
Fertilizer
Give your Anthurium a boost monthly Spring through Summer with a half-strength balanced fertilizer. Hold off on fertilizing during the Fall and Winter. To encourage reblooming, use a plant food higher in phosphorous.
Pro Tip
Remove spathes as they fade. To encourage reblooming reduce water and light and place in a cool location for 6 weeks.
Pro Tip
Humidity is more important than watering. Anthuriums thrive in high humidity environments. Use a humidity tray, humidifier, or mist daily to keep your plant happy.
