These tropical plants prefer bright indirect light. They should not  be placed in direct sunlight as it can cause the leaves to scorch.

Anthuriums also require well-draining moist soil that is allowed to dry out between waterings.

These plants also benefit from regular fertilization but don’t need much to flower. During the growing season, I regularly use a slow-release fertilizer that lasts a few months

They enjoy some humidity too. So if you have dry air in your home, you can increase the humidity level around your anthurium is by placing it on a humidity tray of  pebbles filled with water, using a humidifier, or misting the leaves regularly.

The ideal conditions for anthuriums are warm environments, with temperatures between 60 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit.

So keep your anthurium lily away from cold drafts, particularly during the cold winter months.

During summer months, I bring my  anthurium plant outdoors where it can enjoy warm temperatures and humid  conditions in a protected area on the front porch.
