### Care Guide

Anthuriums are low-fuss for beginners but love mimicking their steamy jungle roots. Here's a breakdown:

 

| Aspect          | Recommendations                                                                 |

|-----------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| **Light**      | Bright indirect light (e.g., near a north/east window or shaded patio). Avoid direct sun to prevent leaf burn. 6+ hours daily for best blooms. |

| **Water**      | Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water when top 1-2 inches are dry (finger test). Use room-temperature water; let excess drain to avoid root rot. In humid spots like yours, water every 5-7 days. |

| **Soil & Potting** | Well-draining, airy mix (e.g., peat moss, perlite, orchid bark). Repot every 2 years in spring into a pot 2 inches larger. Your nursery pot setup looks ideal—keep it elevated for airflow. |

| **Humidity & Temperature** | 60-80% humidity (mist leaves or use a pebble tray). Temps: 70-85°F day, above 60°F night. Your outdoor tropical vibe is spot-on! |

| **Fertilizer** | Feed every 1-2 weeks in growing season (spring-fall) with diluted (1/4 strength) high-phosphorus liquid fertilizer for more flowers. Skip in winter. |

| **Maintenance** | Dust leaves monthly for photosynthesis. Prune spent spathes to encourage new growth. Watch for pests like aphids or spider mites—treat with neem oil. |

 

### Tips for Your Plant

- **Bloom Boost**: If flowers fade, increase phosphorus fertilizer and humidity—yours are already thriving!

- **Propagation**: Easy via stem cuttings: Cut below a node, root in water or moist soil in indirect light (4-6 weeks for roots).

- **Common Issues**: Yellow leaves? Overwatering. No blooms? Too little light. Brown tips? Low humidity.

- **Fun Fact**: The spathes can last 6+ weeks and symbolize hospitality in some cultures. Yours could even grow hydroponically in a glass vase with fertilizer water.

 

With your setup, this beauty should keep dazzling for years. If you share more details (e.g., location or issues), I can refine this! 🌿
