🌿 Basic Care Guide for Anthurium clidemioides
🔆 Light:
Bright, indirect light is best. Too much direct sunlight can scorch the leaves.
Tolerates lower light but will grow more slowly.
💧 Water:
Keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy.
Allow the top 1–2 inches of soil to dry out between waterings.
Use distilled or rainwater if possible, as tap water may cause mineral buildup.
💨 Humidity:
Needs high humidity: 60–80% ideally.
Use a humidifier, pebble tray, or place it in a naturally humid room like a bathroom (with light).
Misting is not always effective unless humidity is very low.
🌡️ Temperature:
Thrives in 65–80°F (18–27°C).
Avoid drafts and sudden temperature changes.
Not frost-tolerant.
🌱 Soil:
Use a well-draining, chunky mix:
40% orchid bark
30% perlite or pumice
30% peat moss or coco coir
You can also add charcoal or sphagnum moss for extra aeration.
🧪 Fertilizer:
Fertilize monthly during growing season (spring–fall).
Use a balanced liquid fertilizer, diluted to half-strength.
Reduce or stop in winter.
🪴 Repotting:
Repot every 1–2 years, or when roots outgrow the pot.
Choose a pot with good drainage.
✂️ Pruning and Maintenance:
Prune dead or damaged leaves.
Wipe leaves with a damp cloth to remove dust.
Inspect regularly for pests like thrips, spider mites, or mealybugs.
