Anthurium 'Michelle' Care Guide:

This tropical gem thrives in specific conditions to maintain its lustrous appearance:

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Protect from direct sunlight, which can scorch its delicate leaves. An east or west-facing window is ideal.
• Watering: Water thoroughly when the top 1 Inch (2-3 cm) of the substrate feels dry. Ensure adequate drainage and avoid letting the plant sit in standing water to prevent root rot.
• Humidity: Requires high humidity, ideally between 70-85%. Supplement with a humidifier or grow in a terrarium/plant cabinet if your home environment is dry.
• Substrate: Use a chunky, well-draining, and aerated aroid mix, typically containing orchid bark, perlite, coco chips, and a small amount of potting soil.
• Temperature: Maintain stable, warm temperatures between 18-25°C (65-77°F). Avoid cold drafts.
• Fertilizer: Feed monthly during the growing season (spring/summer) with a diluted, balanced liquid fertilizer (e.g., 20-20-20, half or quarter strength). Reduce feeding in fall/winter.
