Requires medium to bright indirect light. Water thoroughly when the top 1"-2" of soil is dry, make sure you discard any excess water left in saucer. Anthurium species are known to be highly variable and not every leaf of every specimen will always appear the same.

~Do Not let Anthurium sit in excess water. Anthurium are prone to rot if left with “wet feet”. Once watered, make sure to drain any extra water.

~Do Not place in full sun or extreme high light. In the wild Anthurium either grow in the understory or among the forest floor where they would receive bright but filtered sunlight.

~Anthurium need a well draining potting mix. If you repot your Anthurium make sure it is an airy substrate.
