Anthurium croatii 'corrugado' Culture

Successful cultivation of Anthurium croatii 'corrugado' 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 20°C and 30°C (68°F and 86°F).
• Humidity: Requires high ambient humidity. The use of humidifiers, frequent misting, or cultivation in terrariums may be necessary.
