How Often Should I Water My Anthurium
With easyplant, watering your Anthurium is simple. Make sure to check the easyplant reservoir once a month and fill it when empty, and you're all set! If you are tending to Anthurium without the benefit of an easyplant, warmer temperatures, lower humidity, and the size of your pot can greatly affect the frequency with which you’ll need to water your plants.
Anthurium Light Needs
Anthurium grows best in a space with bright indirect light, where the sun rays are diffused, and can also adapt to spaces with bright direct light, where the sunlight streams inside directly. Avoid placing it in spaces with low light or spaces without natural sunlight.

Frequently Asked Questions about Anthurium Plant
- Do anthuriums need direct sunlight to grow?Tropical plants like anthuriums thrive when they receive roughly 12-hours of light on a daily basis. Direct sunlight isn’t necessary to see growth because these plants can do well in partially shaded habitats. But a couple hours of direct sunlight can help them to thrive, provided they spend most of their time in partial shade. Under a growing light, you may want to provide as much as 16-hours of lighting.
- How do you keep anthuriums blooming?
Anthuriums typically bloom during late spring and early summer. When provided with the right lighting conditions, like a west-facing window, the growing season will trigger blooming without your intervention. If you’d like to encourage your anthurium to keep blooming, be sure it receives enough light and water, and prune away old blooms as they expire.
- Are anthurium easy to take care of?
Anthurium don’t require an intense regimen of upkeep, however, they do require certain conditions to keep them vibrant and thriving. Anthurium typically enjoys a moderate, room temperature environment, or one that’s a tad on the warmer side. They prefer bright indirect light, average to high humidity, and a well-draining potting soil to keep them moist. Under those conditions, Anthuriums are quite easy to look after.
