Anthurium 'White' 4” NURSERY POT ONLY

• Botanical Name: Anthurium andraeanum
  

• Common Names: Painted anthurium, flamingo flower, tailflower, painter's palette, laceleaf
  

• Description: These exotic houseplants have glossy heart-shaped leaves with a beautiful bloom that comes in a large array of colors. They can bloom all year long with enough light and water. The Anthurium originated in the South American rain forest so they thrive in high-humidity environments with a decent amount of shade.

To care for your Anthurium 'White,' here are some tips:

1. Lighting: Anthuriums prefer bright, indirect light. Place your plant near a window where it can receive filtered sunlight. Avoid direct sunlight as it can burn the leaves.

2. Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy. Water your Anthurium when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.

3. Humidity: Anthuriums thrive in high humidity environments. You can increase humidity by placing a tray of water near the plant or using a humidifier. Misting the leaves occasionally can also help.

4. Temperature: Anthuriums prefer temperatures between 60-85°F (15-29°C). Avoid exposing them to cold drafts or temperatures below 60°F (15°C).

5. Soil: Use well-draining, peat-based potting soil for your Anthurium. It should retain moisture without becoming waterlogged.

6. Fertilizing: Feed your plant with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 2-4 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Follow the instructions on the fertilizer packaging for proper dilution.

7. Pruning: Remove any yellow or brown leaves as they appear. You can also trim back leggy stems to encourage new growth.

8. Pet-Friendly: Anthuriums are considered toxic to pets and humans if ingested, so it's best to keep them out of reach of curious pets or children.

With these care tips, your Anthurium 'White' will thrive and add a touch of elegance to your space! 🌺😊
