Description
Care requirements:
Aim to keep your soil lightly damp not wet or soggy. Your plant will arrive in a very well draining potting mix so watering once or twice a week should be fine during the growing season. I would drop this down to once a week in winter.
Anthurium flavolineatum is not one for bright direct light, bright indirect light is ideal. No direct sunlight unless it is early morning or late afternoon only. This Anthurium is mostly found on the forest floor so aim to reproduce this kind of lighting if you can.
This is a tropical plant so it will look its best given plenty of humidity but slightly cooler temperatures than many of the rest of the Anthurium family. I have found the ideal growing temperature to be 20 – 24c° during the day and a few degrees lower at night. Humidity really is this plant’s friend: the more you can provide, the happier it will be. Ideally you want to aim for about 70%+. You will likely find this a difficult plant to maintain without the aid of a humidifier, but if you don’t have a humidifier then either group your plants together or place pot on a tray of pebbles that are always wet as this will help to create a micro climate around the plant.
I use a balanced liquid fertilizer once a month at 50% strength.
