Provide diffuse lighting without direct sunlight.
Protect the plant from drafts and hypothermia.
Where should the anthurium flower stand
Anthurium needs bright but diffused sunlight.
Therefore, it grows best on western and eastern windows.
On a northern windowsill, the plant will experience a lack of lighting, but on a southern one it needs to be shaded from direct sunlight.
What doesn't the anthurium flower like
Anthuriums love warmth and do not really like light. 20-25 degrees in summer and 15-18 in winter are the most comfortable temperature for them.
They should be hidden from direct sunlight, as the leaves may turn yellow and curl up.
Diffused light, partial shade – that’s it.
What does anthurium like at home
Anthurium loves to spray the crown with a spray bottle, but moisture should not wet the flowers.
During the flowering period, it is better to wipe the leaves with a wet sponge.
To create the best care for anthurium in a pot, place it in a container with moistened pieces of expanded clay and sphagnum.
How to understand that anthurium needs to be watered
To do this, just pay attention to the color of the soil.
If the top layer (1-1.5 cm) of the substrate has become light and dry to the touch, then the plant needs to be watered or sprayed on the top layer.
In anthurium, most of the young, healthy roots are located closer to the surface of the soil, so drying out is not permissible.
