• Light: Provide bright filtered light and protect soft or pale foliage from harsh midday sun.
• Watering: Water when the upper part of the substrate has started to dry, then drain thoroughly.
• Substrate: Use a loose Anthurium mix with bark, coco chips, pumice or perlite so roots receive moisture and oxygen.
• Temperature: Keep warm, ideally around 18–28 °C, and protect from cold wet substrate.
• Humidity: Moderate to high humidity helps new leaves expand cleanly; pair humidity with gentle airflow.
• Feeding: Feed lightly during active growth with a diluted complete fertiliser.
• Repotting: Repot when roots fill the pot or the mix begins to collapse.

• Soft stems or crown: Check root health and improve drainage immediately.
