  • Growth habit: Upright with long, pendulous leaves
  • Size: 3 to 6 feet tall

Plantation

  1. Location: Choose a location with bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.
  2. Soil: Plant King Anthurium in well-draining, rich, and slightly acidic soil with a pH of 6.0 to 6.5. A mix of peat moss, perlite, and orchid bark works well.
  3. Container: Choose a pot with drainage holes that is 1-2 inches larger in diameter than the root ball of your plant.

Growing

  1. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, but not waterlogged. Water when the top inch of soil is dry to the touch.
  2. Temperature: Maintain a temperature range of 65-80°F (18-27°C) for optimal growth.
  3. Humidity: King Anthurium thrives in high humidity (60-80%). Use a humidifier, pebble tray, or frequent misting to maintain adequate humidity levels.
  4. Fertilization: Fertilize monthly with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer diluted to half strength during the growing season.

Care

  1. Pruning: Regularly remove dead or yellowing leaves to promote healthy growth and maintain the plant's appearance.
  2. Repotting: Repot every 2-3 years or when the roots outgrow the pot. Gently remove the plant, trim any dead or damaged roots, and place it in a new pot with fresh soil.
  3. Pest Control: Inspect the plant regularly for pests such as aphids, mealybugs, and spider mites. Treat infestations with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
