Care:

1. Light: Prefers indirect light, bright area. Can tolerate partial shade, but flowering will be more abundant in adequate light conditions. Avoid direct sunlight, which can burn the leaves.
2. Soil: Prefers well-drained soil, rich in organic matter. A mixture of potting soil with perlite and peat is ideal to provide the necessary drainage.
3. Watering: Watering should be regular, keeping the soil evenly moist but not saturated. Allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings to prevent root rot. In winter, reduce watering slightly.
4. Humidity: Anthurium prefers high humidity. Regular misting of the leaves or using a humidifier can be beneficial, especially in the winter months.
5. Temperature: The plant grows best at temperatures between 18-25°C. Avoid exposure to temperatures below 15°C and protect the plant from cold drafts.
6. Fertilization: Fertilize the plant once a month during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer for indoor plants. Reduce fertilization during fall and winter.
7. Propagation: Anthurium is propagated by dividing the bush or by stem cuttings. Division is best done in spring.
8. Common problems: The plant can be affected by pests such as red spider mites, aphids and scale insects. Check the plant regularly and treat with appropriate insecticides if necessary. Excessive watering can lead to root rot and mold.
