Tips for Anthurium Care and Identification
Here’s how to spot and care for rare Anthurium varieties:
-
Look for Unique Foliage
Rare Anthuriums often have velvety or metallic leaves. Check our Anthurium collection for varieties like Clarinervium with heart-shaped, textured leaves. -
Provide Bright, Indirect Light
Place Anthuriums in filtered light to enhance their vibrancy. Too much sun can scorch leaves, as noted in our aroid care guide. -
Keep Humidity High
Aim for 70% humidity or more. Use a humidifier or pebble tray to mimic their tropical roots, perfect for rarities in The Rare Collection. -
Water Carefully
Water when the top inch of soil is dry, using well-draining soil. Overwatering harms Anthuriums, so ensure pots have drainage holes. -
Add to Your Jungle
Anthuriums elevate indoor jungles with their drama, as shared in our indoor jungle guide. Pair with Philodendrons for a lush look.
