Bright, indirect light, or diffused light is best for healthy growth of your Anthurium Fingers. Placing your plant a foot back from a sunny window or patio door will let your plant enjoy shade while getting the indirect light it needs. Your plant won’t complain, but too much direct sunlight spells crispy, browning leaves. Anthurium Fingers are also highly adaptable to lower light if your home or office doesn’t get as much sun, but if you start to notice wilted or droopy leaves, fading pigment, or that your Anthurium Fingers isn’t growing as fast as it should be, that could mean it’s time to find a sunnier spot or supplement with an artificial light source.

Water your plant once every week during spring and summer and once every other week in the fall and winter. If your plant is placed in an area with moderate or lower light, it might need less watering; you want to give your Anthurium Fingers’ soil time to dry out in between waterings, waiting until the top 50% of the soil or the top third of the soil is dry before giving it another drink. Lower light means the water your plant doesn’t finish won’t evaporate the way it would in a space with higher levels of light. Consider your plant’s placement when you water to avoid over or underwatering your Anthurium Fingers.

Anthurium Fingers does its best in warm, humid environments that mimic the tropics. Temperatures of 65⁰F -80⁰F are ideal for your plant’s best growth. Place your Anthurium Fingers in a space that naturally has higher levels of humidity like a bathroom or kitchen. Avoid places in your home that are susceptible to drafts or sudden changes in temperature.

Fertilize during the spring and summer once a month or bimonthly with a liquid-soluble Anthurium fertilizer. Dilute the liquid fertilizer to ¼ strength using water; using too much fertilizer or one that’s undiluted could result in yellowing or burnt leaves.
