Planting Guide:
- When to Plant: Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost, or plant directly in pots indoors at any time of the year.
- Planting Location: Choose a location with indirect or bright, filtered light. Avoid placing the plant in direct sunlight, as this can scorch the leaves.
- Soil Preparation: Use well-draining, slightly acidic soil. A peat-based mix or potting soil formulated for houseplants works well for Anthuriums.
- Watering: Water regularly to keep the soil moist, but avoid waterlogging. Allow the top of the soil to dry out slightly between waterings.
- Maintenance: Remove dead or damaged flowers to encourage new blooms. Clean the leaves occasionally to remove dust and maintain the plant’s appearance.
