Anthurium Silver Blush – Stunning Houseplant

Plant Bio

Native from Panama to Peru, this evergreen herbaceous perennial is grown primarily for its large, rounded, glossy dark green leaves with indented silver-white veins.

To thrive in our homes, Anthuriums need a medium to bright indirect light, although they’ll accept less during their dormant period in winter. Keep the soil lightly moist, letting the top layer just approach dryness between waterings. Make a habit of checking on it at least once or twice a week by gently digging a finger into the soil. It should feel barely moist. If it still feels wet, wait a bit longer. Anthuriums prefer something more akin to an orchid mix. This is usually a loose, breathable mix of potting soil, peat moss, bark pieces and/or mulch, charcoal, gravel or perlite. Using this type of soil mix will make Anthurium care a bit more manageable.
