Anthurium Hanging (Artificial)

Position your Anthurium in bright, indirect light to keep its glossy foliage rich and to coax out those waxy, colourful blooms; an east-facing window or a spot just back from a brighter one is ideal. Keep it away from direct midday sun, which can scorch the leaves, and out of cold draughts. As a tropical aroid it loves humidity, so a bathroom, kitchen or a regular misting will keep it looking its best.

Water when the top few centimetres of the mix feel dry, keeping it lightly moist but never waterlogged, and always let excess drain away to protect the roots. Ease back in the cooler months. Feed with a diluted liquid fertiliser through the warmer growing season to support fresh leaves and flowers. Anthuriums do best in a chunky, free-draining aroid mix, and wiping the leaves occasionally keeps them dust-free and gleaming.
