Anthurium requires sufficient light, at least 10 hours a day. The ideal location for the pot is an east or west-facing window, where the plant will have access to morning or evening light. A north-facing window is not suitable for flowering, but is suitable for growing a lush bush.
Choosing a pot
The success of growing anthurium largely depends on the size of the pot. If the pot is too large, the plant will excessively develop its root system, which will affect flowering and leaf size. If the leaves begin to yellow, it may indicate that root rot is the cause of the problem.
Choosing a substrate
As epiphytes, anthuriums naturally grow on other plants, so they do not require dense, black soil. The substrate should be loose and fast-draining, while still retaining moisture. A mixture of soil and pine bark is ideal.
Fertilizing
Anthurium requires careful fertilization, as it is an epiphyte and does not require large amounts of fertilizer. It is recommended to reduce the recommended dose of fertilizer by half, buying products from the same manufacturer as the potting soil.
