Anthurium Balaoanum

Anthurium Balaoanum is a fascinating species of anthurium, appreciated 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:

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

2. Temperature:

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

3. Moisture:

   • It needs a high humidity, preferably over 60%. Use a humidifier or periodically spray the leaves with non-calcareous water.
   • Positioning next to other tropical plants can create a favorable microclimate.

4. Watering:

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

5. Soil:

   • It prefers a well-drained, aerated soil, rich in organic matter. A mixture for orchids or for epiphytic plants, combined with peat and perlite, is ideal.
   • Ensure good drainage to avoid root rot.

6. Fertilization:

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

7. Leaf care:

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