-
Light: Provide bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight which can scorch the delicate leaves. East or north-facing windows work well, or place near a south-facing window with sheer curtains.
-
Temperature: Maintain temperatures between 18-26°C (65-80°F). Protect from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.
-
Humidity: Requires high humidity levels of 60-80%. Use a humidifier, pebble tray, or group with other tropical plants to increase ambient moisture.
-
Watering: Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top inch of soil feels slightly dry. Ensure excellent drainage to prevent root rot.
Additional Notes:
Foliage Characteristics: Anthurium pinkleyi starts with oval leaves that evolve into narrow, lance-shaped foliage as it matures. Its glossy green leaves reflect light beautifully and retain vibrant color year-round, initially showing a subtle bronze tint.
