Anthuriums are cheery, exotic flowering houseplants that offer glossy, green heart-shaped leaves topped by heart-shaped red long-lasting blooms. Happily, anthuriums bloom almost all year long if they get enough light, food, and moisture. The brightly colored flowers make anthuriums perfect plants for centerpieces and tabletops. They grow best in a sunny window, place it next to an East or West facing window. Water when the soil is dry (about once a week) and be sure all excess water drains away. ONE OF THE MOST COLORFUL HOUSEPLANTS--AND EASY TO GROW They grow best in a sunny window, place it next to an East or West facing window. Water when the soil is dry (about once a week) and be sure all excess water drains away. If the container does not have holes, use approximately half a cup of water, adjust as needed for your environment. Do not let the Anthurium sit in water or overly soggy soil. CARE FOR YOUR ANTHURIUM IS EASY : Light: Grow Anthurium in bright, indirect sunlight. Some plants may burn if placed in direct sunlight. Water: Anthurium likes to be watered once a week with about 1/2 cup. The frequency of watering may change depending on your plant's pot size, how much light it gets, and the temperature of the environment. Feeding: To get the best blooms, use a plant food that has a higher phosphorus number (the middle number). Pruning/Shaping: Remove any discolored or dead leaves. Cut wilted or dead blossoms down to the base of the stem. Repotting: Repot your plants when they become root bound. (A houseplant is root bound when roots appear in the soil or begin to escape through drain holes in the pot bottom.) Never repot houseplants using soil from your yard. Outdoor Options: In summer, plants can be grown outdoors in a high light (but not full outdoor sun) location. Bring plants inside before frost.
