Anthurium Papillilaminum Blue X One

1. Light Requirements:

  • Bright, indirect light is best. Too much direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, while too little light will result in slower growth and less vibrant foliage.
  • Can tolerate lower light conditions, but optimal growth occurs in medium to bright indirect light.

2. Watering:

  • Keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy. Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry to the touch.
  • Anthuriums dislike waterlogged soil, so ensure good drainage to avoid root rot.
  • Reduce watering in the winter when the plant’s growth slows down.

3. Humidity:

  • High humidity (60-80%) is crucial for healthy growth, especially since the papillilaminum parent prefers humid environments.
  • You can increase humidity using a humidifier, a humidity tray, or by grouping plants together.
  • Mist the leaves regularly if the ambient humidity is low, but avoid misting the foliage during cooler months to prevent fungal issues.

4. Temperature:

  • Keep temperatures between 65°F and 80°F (18°C-27°C).
  • Avoid exposing the plant to cold drafts or sudden temperature changes. It does not tolerate temperatures below 55°F (13°C).

5. Soil:

  • Use a well-draining aroid mix. A mix of orchid bark, perlite, and peat moss or coco coir works well. The medium should retain some moisture while allowing excess water to drain out.
  • You can amend the mix with charcoal and sphagnum moss for added aeration and to mimic its natural epiphytic environment.


Shipping

All plants are shipped with their roots wrapped in Sphagnum Moss, and plastic wrap to retain moisture for the root system. Foliage is then wrapped in a soft material, and then the whole plant is wrapped in isolation paper to secure the plant from movement in the box. Upon arrival to your home, check the roots for any signs of damage or rot. If rot appears, trim the affected roots with clean scissors or pruning shears, and plant into the new pot with the above specified growing media. We recommend waiting a day to water your new plant after repotting, as this will reduce the risk of root rot. Please note that yellowing or browning leaves could occur in transit.
