Botanical Name: Anthurium veitchii

-
Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 60°F and 80°F (16°C–27°C). Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 50°F (10°C).
-
Soil: Use a well-draining, chunky potting mix, such as one formulated for orchids or aroid mixes, to mimic its natural epiphytic habitat.

Care Tips

Watering: Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil are dry. Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent waterlogging.

Humidity: Maintain high humidity levels. Use a humidifier, mist the plant regularly, or place it on a humidity tray.
-
Fertilization: Feed with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 4–6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce feeding in fall and winter.
-
Repotting: Repot every 1–2 years or when the plant outgrows its pot. Use a well-draining potting mix suitable for aroids.
