Description: Here are some tips for caring for an Anthurium veitchii, also known as the King Anthurium: LightPlace in a spot with bright, indirect light, like near a north or east-facing window. Avoid direct sunlight, which can burn the leaves. If your home is dimly lit, you can use grow lights, but make sure to give the plant some time in the dark to prevent light overdose. WaterWater when the top inch or two of soil feels dry. The plant prefers moist soil, but it shouldn't be soggy or waterlogged. Water more frequently during the spring and summer, and less frequently in the winter. Use filtered or rainwater if possible, as tap water can be harmful to the plant. TemperatureKeep the plant in a temperature range of 60°F–80°F during the summer and at least 60°F during the winter. Avoid placing it near air conditioners or heating vents, as the fluctuating temperatures can damage the plant. HumidityAnthurium veitchii prefers high humidity levels, ideally above 70%. You can use a humidifier or mist the plant regularly to maintain the humidity. SoilUse a well-drained, chunky potting mix that's rich in organic matter. You can use a premade aroid potting mix, or make your own by combining equal parts of potting mix, orchid bark, perlite, coconut coir, and sphagnum moss. FertilizerFeed the plant with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 4–6 weeks during the growing season. Reduce feeding during the winter. RepottingRepot the plant every 1–2 years, or when it outgrows its current pot. Choose a pot that's slightly larger than the current one, and handle the roots gently. PruningRemove dead or yellowing leaves with clean, sharp scissors or pruning shears to maintain the plant's shape.
