Anthurium Radicans x Luxurians

Light

 

• Bright, indirect light is ideal. This plant thrives in a bright location but should be protected from direct sunlight, which can scorch its leaves.
• An east-facing window is often a good choice, as is a south-facing window with a sheer curtain or some other form of filtered light.
• If you don't have a window that provides adequate light, you can supplement with a grow light.

 

Watering

 

• Water when the top of the soil is dry. The key is to allow the soil to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot, which Anthuriums are prone to.
• A good method is to check the top quarter of the soil with your finger; if it's dry, it's time to water.
• Water thoroughly until water drains from the bottom of the pot, and then make sure to empty any excess water from the saucer.

 

Humidity

 

• Anthurium Radicans x Luxurians appreciates higher humidity. While it can tolerate average household humidity, it will thrive in environments with 60% or higher humidity.
• If your home is on the drier side, you can increase humidity by using a humidifier, placing the plant on a pebble tray with water, or grouping it with other plants.
• Crispy leaf edges are often a sign of low humidity.

 

Soil and Potting

 

• Use a chunky, well-draining, and aerated soil mix. As an epiphytic plant, it needs plenty of air circulation around its roots.
• A good mix can include a combination of potting soil, perlite, orchid bark, and/or sphagnum moss.
• Always use a pot with drainage holes to prevent the plant from sitting in excess water.

Temperature

 

• This plant prefers warm temperatures. Aim for a temperature range of 65°F to 85°F (17°C to 29°C).
• Avoid placing it near drafts or vents that can cause sudden temperature fluctuations.

 

Fertilizing

 

• Fertilize during the growing season (spring and summer). You can use a balanced liquid fertilizer, diluted to a quarter strength, every few weeks.
• Alternatively, a slow-release fertilizer can be applied every 3-6 months.
• Reduce or stop fertilizing in the fall and winter when the plant's growth slows down.

Other Tips

 

• This hybrid's parentage from Anthurium radicans means it will appreciate a support to climb on as it matures, such as a moss pole.
• The sap of Anthuriums can be irritating to the skin and is toxic if ingested, so keep it away from pets and small children.
