How to Care for Your Anthurium 'Purple'

Place your Anthurium in a well-lit space away from direct sunlight to encourage blooming. Use a well-draining, chunky aroid mix and maintain lightly moist soil—never soggy. Mist occasionally or group with other humidity-loving plants, especially during dry seasons or in heated indoor spaces.

Fertilize every 6–8 weeks during the growing season with a phosphorus-rich liquid fertilizer to promote more blooms. Remove spent flowers and older leaves to keep the plant tidy and encourage new growth.
