Chunky, well-draining mix: bark, perlite and potting compost. Its thick, leathery leaves tolerate a coarser substrate than most Anthurium.
Water when the top half of the substrate is dry; it tolerates drier air and substrate than most large Anthurium.
65-80%; comfortable at typical household humidity.
Balanced liquid fertiliser at quarter strength every 4 weeks during active growth.
Every 2-3 years, sizing up as the rosette widens; mature plants become large and need a stable, heavy pot.
Common Problems
Leaf margins losing their ruffled, undulating texture
Insufficient light
