Anthurium clarinervium Care

Light: Provide bright, indirect light for your Anthurium clarinervium. Avoid direct sunlight, especially during the hottest parts of the day, as it can scorch the leaves. A location with filtered sunlight or in the vicinity of a north or east-facing window is ideal.

Temperature: Maintain a warm and humid environment. Anthurium clarinervium prefers temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C). Protect the plant from drafts and sudden temperature fluctuations.

Humidity: These plants thrive in high humidity. Increase humidity by misting the leaves regularly, using a humidifier, or placing the plant on a tray filled with water and pebbles. Adequate humidity helps prevent brown leaf edges and encourages healthy growth.

Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water the plant thoroughly when the top inch of the soil feels dry to the touch. Anthuriums are sensitive to overwatering, so ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent water from accumulating at the bottom.

Soil: Plant your Anthurium clarinervium in a well-draining, aerated potting mix. A mix of peat moss, perlite, and orchid bark works well to provide the right balance of moisture retention and drainage.

Fertilizing: Feed your Anthurium clarinervium with a balanced, liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength once a month during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce or stop fertilization during the fall and winter months when the plant’s growth slows down.
