Please note: These plants have been grown in seedling plug trays and therefore the root systems will not be as fully established as a larger pot size and will require extra attention. Plants are on average 5cm in length and photos on the website are indicative only. Please take this into consideration with each purchase of the Bare Bottom Babies. The dispatch team always pick the best plants that are available.
Care Plan for Anthurium Luxurians
Light:
- Thrives in bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can burn the leaves, so keep it in a spot where it gets plenty of filtered light.
Soil:
- Requires well-draining, loose, and aerated soil. A mix of orchid bark, perlite, and peat moss works well, ensuring the roots don't sit in water for too long.
Watering:
- Keep the soil consistently moist but never soggy. Water when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Be mindful of overwatering, as this plant is sensitive to root rot.
Humidity:
- Prefers high humidity (around 60-80%). You can boost humidity by misting the plant regularly, using a humidifier, or placing it near other plants.
Temperature:
- Prefers temperatures between 18°C and 25°C. Avoid cold drafts and sudden temperature changes, as this can stress the plant.
Fertilising:
- During the growing season (spring and summer), feed with a balanced liquid fertiliser diluted to half strength every 4-6 weeks. Cut back on feeding during autumn and winter.
