Introduction

The anthurium pedatoradiatum aka the anthurium fingers is from Central America and is known for it’s crown-like circular leaves. It’s not super rare but it looks great, especially as it matures.

Anthurium Pedatoradiatum Light Needs

Medium indirect sunlight is best, this plant will be fine back from the window a bit.

How Often to Water

Water your anthurium fingers when the top half of the soil is dry, check it once a week. This is where anthuriums are a bit fussy, you don’t want them to be waterlogged and you don’t want them to dry out. Aim to keep them moist.

Tip: aim to keep the soil moist but not soaking well or dry. So check the soil each week (twice a week in hot weather) and water them if the soil is starting to dry out. Tip out any excess water after, don’t let he plant sit in it.

Fertilizer

A balanced feed once a month in the growing season is ideal they’ll be ok without feeding but can grow fuller and faster if you do.

Anthurium Pedatoradiatum Soil

Good drainage is essential, I use a mix of orchid bark and perlite with normal compost. For more on anthurium soil (what to buy and how to make your own) see our guide here: Anthurium Soil.

When To Repot

Check them in Spring to see if they need repotting before the growing season starts, this way the plant will have room to grow if needed.

Humidity

50-60% is ideal humidity, which should be achievable in most homes. You can always get a humidity meter to check the levels. They are really cheap, everyone should have one!

Tip: Keep them humid, at least 60% in the day and they’ll be ok with a bit less at night. You can buy a humidity meter (affiliate link) to keep an eye on maximum and minimum levels.

Temperature

18°C to 25°C (64-77°F) is ideal. Do not expose them to cold drafts. Aim to keep them above a minimum temperature of 12°C (54°F).

How To Propagate Anthurium Pedatoradiatum

You anthurium fingers can be propagated by division. Wait until the plant is a good size and has filled out it’s current pot with some extra plants growing around the base of the main plant. You want to takt the whole plant out of it’s soil and shake as much dirt off the roots as you can, then prize off the pups as carefully as you can, so as not to damage the roots. Then pot them up separately.
