Ben's tips on plant care:
- Location/Light Requirements: Partial shade or indirect sunlight
- Substrate: Ben's Philodendron & Monstera Soil
- Temperature: optimal at 26° C (day), approx. 18° C (night), do not let cool down below 15° C
- Watering: water once a week when the top layer of substrate becomes dry, less frequently in winter, ensure drainage, use lukewarm and low-calcium water
- Humidity: needs high humidity, use humidifier
- Nutrient addition: fertilise moderately every 4-6 weeks in spring/summer.
- Grows faster than other anthuriums, should therefore be repotted regularly when the soil is densely rooted and dries out more quickly.
