Care Guide
Basics for successHumidity
- Small Seedlings: Require 90-100% humidity (prop box/dome).
- Larger Plants: Thrive in 70-90% humidity (cabinet/tent).
- Acclimation: Best in Spring/Summer. Wait for a cataphyll to emerge. Leaf drop is normal; new growth will adapt.
Watering
- Never let substrate dry completely. Water when it begins to dry.
- Ensure drainage so seedlings don't sit in stagnant water.
- Frequency: Infrequently in high humidity; up to 2x/week in lower humidity/high light.
Light
- Goal: Bright, Indirect Light (Natural is best).
- Seedlings: ~200 FC (Foot-candles).
- Larger Anthuriums: 300-500 FC.
- Duration: 12 hours/day. Measure with a light meter or the Photone app.
Fertilizer
- Start full-strength after first leaf hardens.
- Ensure Cal-Mag (or a fertilizer with Calcium & Magnesium) is present in your mix.
- Favorites: Superthrive Foliage Pro (2-4x dose) OR Maxsea 16-16-16 + CalMag.
Substrate & Flushing
- Plants usually arrive in moss or peat (fine for growing).
- Repotting: Use airier mix (tree fern, pumice) if you use a reservoir or tend to overwater.
- Large Pots: Aroid mix (perlite, lava rock, coco chips, charcoal).
- Ambient Growing: Promix HP or well-draining peat.
- Flushing: Run filtered water through the pot every 2-3 months until clear to remove salt buildup.
