Anthuriums, with their glossy, heart-shaped blooms, are a showstopper in any indoor garden. But keeping them happy requires a little know-how. This guide breaks down anthurium care for even the newest plant parent.
**Light:** Anthuriums love bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch their leaves. An east-facing window is ideal.
**Watering:** Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Anthuriums prefer slightly moist soil, but avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. Ensure your pot has good drainage.
**Humidity:** These tropical beauties thrive in high humidity. Increase humidity by misting regularly, placing them near a humidifier, or grouping them with other plants.
**Soil:** Use a well-draining potting mix, such as an orchid mix or a mix of peat moss, perlite, and bark.
**Fertilizing:** Feed your anthurium every 2-3 months during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer.
With a little love and attention, your anthurium will reward you with stunning blooms for years to come! Happy growing!
