Anthurium Veitchii (King Anthurium)

🌿 Light

• Bright, indirect light.
• Avoid harsh afternoon sun, which can scorch the leaves.
• A spot near an east-facing window or a few feet away from a bright south/west-facing window works well.

💧 Water

• Water when the top 2–3 cm (1 inch) of the potting mix feels dry.
• Keep the soil evenly moist but never soggy.
• Reduce watering slightly during cooler months.

🌱 Soil

Use a chunky, well-draining aroid mix, such as:

• Coco chips or orchid bark
• Coco peat
• Perlite or pumice
• Charcoal (optional)
• A little compost or worm castings

💦 Humidity

• Prefers 60–80% humidity.
• It can adapt to lower humidity, but higher humidity encourages larger, healthier leaves.

🌡️ Temperature

• Ideal: 18–30°C
• Protect from temperatures below 15°C and avoid cold drafts.

🌿 Fertilizer

• Feed once every 2–4 weeks during the growing season with a balanced liquid fertilizer at half strength.
• Flush the pot occasionally to prevent salt buildup.

🪴 Repotting

• Repot every 1–2 years, or when the roots outgrow the pot.
• Choose a pot with drainage holes that's only slightly larger than the current one.

✂️ Care Tips

• Wipe leaves occasionally to remove dust.
• Good air circulation helps prevent fungal issues.
• Avoid overwatering, as it is the most common cause of root rot.
• The long leaves can become damaged if bent, so place the plant where they have room to hang naturally.
