Light:
Prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.

Watering:
Keep the soil lightly moist but never waterlogged. Water when the top 2–3 cm of soil feels dry. Reduce watering slightly in winter.

Humidity:
Thrives in high humidity. Mist regularly, place near a humidifier, or set the pot on a pebble tray. Perfect for bathrooms with good light.

Temperature:
Ideal temperatures are between 18–26°C. Keep away from cold draughts and sudden temperature changes.

Feeding:
Use a balanced liquid fertiliser every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer. Avoid overfeeding, as Anthuriums are sensitive to excess salts.

Soil:
Plant in a loose, well-draining mix — orchid bark or an aroid mix works well, allowing airflow around the roots.

Repotting:
Repot every 1–2 years or when roots become crowded. Choose a pot only slightly larger than the current one.

Toxicity:
Mildly toxic if ingested. Keep away from pets and small children.
