Anthurium Plant Care Tips

Anthurium plant care is easy, making it an attractive plant during this busy time of year. Healthy Anthurium plants are always in bloom because each new leaf produces its own flower buds and each flower will last several months. ‘Tis the season to have an Anthurium! 

4 Steps to Keep Your Anthurium Merry and Bright:

• Place the plant in a room with bright, indirect light.
• Avoid direct sunlight as it can burn the plant.
• Keep the temperature between 65 and 85 degrees. Because Anthuriums are native to warmer temperatures, they enjoy a slightly higher humid level, so consider using a humidifier.
• To water, add six ice cubes per plant on top of its soil or 1/2 cup water once a week.

This plant can be harmful if ingested, so place it out of reach of curious young children and pets. While these plants can be grown outdoors in a festive holiday container or added to your landscape decor, your Anthurium can still thrive if the temperature doesn't drop below 60 degrees Fahrenheit.

Whether you’re doing some last-minute holiday decorating or you simply want a festive look year-round, Anthuriums are great plant pals to add to your home and they make great gifts as well!
