Best Locations For Growing Maine Anthurium
Maine Anthurium thrives in areas with bright, indirect light, making it ideal for living rooms, kitchens, or bedrooms. Its lush, colorful foliage also makes it a great choice for bright bathrooms or offices. This plant flourishes in spaces with higher humidity, and its compact size makes it perfect for tabletops or shelves. Keep the Anthurium out of reach of pets and children, as it is toxic if ingested.
Sunlight Requirements
Place your Maine Anthurium in bright, indirect light, such as near an east- or west-facing window. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch its leaves. Medium indirect light is tolerated but may result in fewer blooms.
Maine Anthurium Care
This tropical plant thrives in a humid environment and prefers well-draining orchid soil or a mix of peat and perlite. Repot every 2–3 years or when the roots outgrow the pot. Regular pruning of faded blooms and yellowing leaves will encourage healthy growth. To maintain its beautiful appearance, clean the leaves occasionally to remove dust.
Watering Maine Anthurium
Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, ensuring the pot has proper drainage to prevent root rot. In winter, reduce watering frequency as the plant’s growth slows. High humidity benefits the Anthurium; consider misting the plant or placing it on a pebble tray.
Feeding Maine Anthurium
Fertilize every 4–6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid houseplant fertilizer diluted to half strength. Avoid fertilizing in fall and winter when the plant is resting. To dilute to half strength, mix half the recommended amount indicated on the fertilizer label.
