FAQs:
How often should I water my Red Anthurium? Water the plant when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry. Typically, this may be once a week, but it depends on your home's humidity and temperature.

Why are the leaves of my Anthurium turning yellow? Yellowing leaves can be a sign of over-watering, insufficient humidity, or too much direct sunlight. Check the watering routine and consider moving the plant to a location with more indirect light.

How do I encourage more blooms? Ensure the plant receives the right amount of light (bright, indirect sunlight) and feed it monthly during the growing season. Also, maintaining higher humidity can help encourage flowering.

Can I grow a Red Anthurium from seeds? Growing from seeds is possible, but it can be a slow and tricky process. It’s generally easier to propagate an Anthurium by division or taking cuttings from an existing plant.

Is the Red Anthurium toxic? Yes, Anthuriums are toxic to pets if ingested. Keep them out of reach of curious animals to avoid any potential health risks.
