Full description and specifications
Anthurium Scherzerianum (or Pig-Tail Anthurium) are a special species of anthurium that produces red, orange, green, white, cream or pink flowers. What differentiates them from Andraeanum is their spadix. The care of Anthurium Scherzerianum is not very different from that of Andraeanum.
The main difference between the 2 species is that Scherzerianum is a little better adapted as a houseplant, so they are actually a little easier to care for.
Pot diameter 14 cm
Height with pots approx. 40 cm
It shows color variations! Anthurium Scherzerianum care instructions
The ideal temperature is somewhere around 26 degrees Celsius. Ideally, it should not be exposed to temperatures below 16 degrees Celsius or above 26 degrees Celsius. Temperatures below 16 degrees C will inhibit growth and flowering, while temperatures above 26 degrees C can cause damage to flowers and leaves. Freezing temperatures must be avoided at all costs, as exposure to frost can be fatal.
Light - indirect sunlight is best. But direct exposure to mid-day sun can burn the leaves so make sure it is never exposed to strong, direct sunlight. If your plant is near a window with direct sunlight, cover the window with a thin curtain to block some of the light. If your plant gets too little light, it may stop blooming. A signal of insufficient light is a plant that produces many green leaves and no flowers.
Substrate - Any well-drained soil is suitable. You can use a combination that has bark, moss and perlite. The key is to make sure your soil doesn't retain excess moisture. Excessive moisture can cause root rot and other problems that can harm your plant.
Watering - water regularly, but make sure the water drains quickly from the pot. In tropical forests, these plants grow on trees. Despite receiving daily rainwater, their roots are never in water because the water drains up the side of the tree and away from their roots. Since your plant is in a pot, you need to make sure all the water is drained from it and the soil dries out slightly but not completely before watering.
Humidity - should be high, but not excessive. Somewhere around 70-80% is ideal. Larger and fungal problems can occur. Up to 50% is generally good. But you may want to spray the leaves. Make sure they dry by evening to prevent fungal problems. If they do not dry out by evening, this means that the humidity is more than sufficient and there is no need to spray your plants. At this level of humidity, good air circulation is essential to prevent fungal growth.
