The Anthurium Crassinervium Karma Birdnest Large 17cm pot

Description

Care Guide:

• Light: The Karma Birdnest Anthurium thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.
• Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Anthuriums prefer humidity, so misting the leaves regularly is beneficial.
• Soil: Use a well-draining, airy potting mix such as orchid or aroid soil, which mimics its natural environment.
• Temperature: This tropical plant enjoys warm temperatures between 18-27°C. Avoid placing it near cold drafts or heaters.
• Humidity: High humidity is ideal for Anthurium crassinervium. Place it near a humidifier or mist it frequently to maintain lush, healthy leaves.
• Feeding: Use a balanced liquid fertiliser every 6-8 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) to encourage growth and vibrant foliage.

Troubleshooting:

• Yellowing leaves: This can indicate overwatering or poor drainage. Ensure the soil is well-draining and that the pot has drainage holes to prevent water from pooling at the bottom.
• Brown leaf tips: This is usually a sign of low humidity. Increase humidity by misting the plant regularly or placing it near a humidifier.
• Leggy growth: If your Anthurium is growing tall and spindly, it may be due to insufficient light. Move it to a brighter spot with indirect sunlight to encourage fuller growth.
• Slow growth: If the plant isn’t growing as expected, it could be lacking nutrients. Fertilise regularly during the growing season to provide the necessary boost.

The Anthurium crassinervium ‘Karma Birdnest’ is perfect for plant enthusiasts looking for a unique addition to their indoor collection. With proper care, it will thrive and become a beautiful, low-maintenance focal point in your home.
