Anthurium coriaceum (Big)

Successful cultivation of Anthurium coriaceum requires attention to the following aspects:

  • Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.
  • Temperature: Thrives in warm, humid temperatures typical of tropical climates. Ideal temperatures range between 18°C and 27°C (64°F and 80°F).
  • Humidity: Requires high ambient humidity. The use of humidifiers, frequent misting, or cultivation in terrariums may be necessary.
  • Watering: Keep the substrate consistently moist, but not waterlogged. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.
  • Substrate: Prefers a well-draining, airy substrate, rich in organic material.
