🧡 Anthurium Orange Care Guide

☀️ Light

• Bright indirect light is ideal
• Too little light = fewer flowers
• Direct sun will burn leaves and spathes

💧 Water

• Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil are dry
• Keep soil evenly moist, never soggy
• Always drain excess water

💦 Humidity

• Loves high humidity (60–80%)
• Mist lightly, use a pebble tray, or keep near other plants
• Dry air causes brown leaf edges

🌡️ Temperature

• Ideal range: 18–30°C
• Avoid cold drafts and temperatures below 15°C

🌱 Soil / Potting Mix

• Loose, airy, well-draining mix
  • Cocopeat + orchid bark + perlite
• Pot must have good drainage holes

🌼 Fertilizer

• Feed every 3–4 weeks in spring & summer
• Use a balanced or flowering liquid fertilizer, diluted
• Reduce feeding in winter

🌸 Flowering Tips

• Bright indirect light + regular feeding = more blooms
• Each flower lasts 6–8 weeks
• Cut spent flowers at the base to encourage new growth

✂️ Maintenance

• Wipe leaves to keep them glossy
• Remove yellow or damaged leaves
• Repot every 2–3 years

🐛 Common Problems

• Yellow leaves → overwatering
• Brown tips → low humidity or underwatering
• Few flowers → low light or lack of nutrients

☠️ Toxicity

• Toxic if ingested—keep away from pets and children
