How to Grow and Care for Anthurium
Anthurium is a genus of around 1,000 perennial plants native to Central America, northern South America, and the Caribbean. They can be grown outdoors in tropical climates, but are more often kept as houseplants or in due to their specific care needs. Growth rate is slow or moderate and dependent on ample light but susceptible to sunburn.
Also called flamingo flowers for their unique, bright red, green, and white colors, they can bloom repeatedly for long periods. Blooming varieties are distinctive with heart-shaped waxy spathes (i.e., modified leaf around the flower) and red or yellow spikes. Many anthuriums are climbers, and all need high humidity and warmth to thrive. Anthurium is toxic to humans and pets.
Anthurium Care
- Plant in a well-draining pot with a 50-50 mix of orchid and houseplant potting media.
- Place anthurium in a warm, brightly lit room but out of direct light. An area with high humidity such as a bathroom is a good choice.
- Allow anthurium's soil to dry out between waterings.
- Feed weekly during the growing season with a diluted liquid houseplant fertilizer.
- Provide a stake or small trellis to support plants with aerial roots.

Many anthurium plants are in natural settings—they grow on other plants instead of in soil. If leaves and flowers tend to fall over, give the plant a stake or small trellis to climb on.
Light
Anthuriums prefer sun over shade but too much direct light can scorch the leaves. Inadequate light causes poor growth and few flowers. The ideal location for your plant provides six hours of bright, indirect sunlight daily.
Soil
Anthuriums grow similarly to , so potting material needs to be coarse and drain well to provide adequate air circulation around the roots. Mosses, cocoa coir, or a 50-50 combination of orchid and houseplant potting medium
