Anthurium Balaoanum

Anthurium Balaoanum is a fascinating species of anthurium, prized for its long, thin and elegant leaves. It is a decorative tropical plant, ideal for lovers of exotic plants and rare collections.

Care:

1. Light:

   • It prefers bright indirect light. Direct sunlight can burn the leaves.
   • It is also suitable for spaces with filtered light, such as those near an east or west-facing window.

2. Temperature:

   • It grows well at temperatures between 18-28°C. Avoid temperatures below 15°C, as it may suffer damage from cold.
   • Ensure a constant temperature, without sudden variations.

3. Moisture:

   • It requires high humidity, preferably above 60%. Use a humidifier or periodically spray the leaves with non-calcareous water.
   • Positioning it near other tropical plants can create a favorable microclimate.

4. Watering:

   • Water regularly, keeping the soil slightly moist but not soggy. Allow the top layer of soil to dry slightly between waterings.
   • Use rainwater or demineralized water to avoid salt accumulation in the soil.

5. Soil:

   • It prefers a well-drained, aerated soil rich in organic matter. An orchid or epiphyte mix, combined with peat and perlite, is ideal.
   • Ensure good drainage to avoid root rot.

6. Fertilization:

   • Apply a liquid fertilizer for tropical or epiphytic plants once a month during the active growth period (spring and summer).
   • Reduce fertilization in the fall and winter months.

7. Leaf care:

   • Wipe the leaves periodically with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and improve photosynthesis.
   • Avoid using leaf polish solutions, which can block pores.
