For an easy-to-grow and low-maintenance houseplant, Cobra Anthurium is one to consider. Grown for its foliage, the Cobra Anthurium is a strong plant with vigorous growth. It produces large, leathery green leaves that take on a shade of purple with age. This plant is a great choice for purifying the air and providing a focal interest indoors.
Best Locations For Growing Cobra Anthurium Plant
Cobra Anthurium will thrive when grown in any room, just as long as it doesn’t receive any burning midday sun or large temperature fluctuations.
Cobra Anthurium Sunlight Requirements
Preferring bright, but indirect light, Cobra Anthurium is ideal for growing near an east-, west- or north-facing window. This anthurium is a tough plant; however, avoid placing it near a south-facing window where it may be scorched by direct light.
Cobra Anthurium Plant Care
Preferring high humidity levels, the Cobra Anthurium benefits from regular misting, a constant temperature of 65 to 75°F and protection from any cold drafts. Being low maintenance, the only pruning this plant requires is removal of its browning or dead leaves at the base.
Watering Cobra Anthurium
This plant prefers consistently moist soil. Water it regularly, when the top 2 inches of soil are dry to touch. To provide higher humidity levels, the plant can be placed on a tray of wet pebbles.
Feeding Cobra Anthurium
Although not strictly necessary, the Cobra Anthurium can benefit from being fed with a general houseplant fertilizer mixed at half strength from spring until fall.

We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
