☀☀ Light : 

Prefers low to bright indirect light. The plant is unable to withstand direct light and it can hurt your flowers.

 Water : 

Prefers dry soil. Allow the soil to dry out before watering again.

+ Plant Tip : 

Anthuriums do not need to be heavily fertilized, and do not need a powerful fertilizer. It’s recommended to use a one quarter strength fertilizer once every 3 to 4 months, except during the colder months. Use a fertilizer with higher phosphorus number in order to get stunning flowers.
