An anthurium in 5L potting soil for anthuriums likes even moisture without its roots becoming soggy. Give it a good watering every week, but first check that the top layer of soil has dried out slightly. The airy composition of this potting soil allows sufficient oxygen to reach the roots, preventing root rot and strengthening the plant.

Anthuriums love bright, indirect light and, in this potting mix, will thrive in a spot near an east- or west-facing window. Direct sunlight can burn the leaves, while too little light leads to limp stems and fewer flowers. Therefore, place the plant at least 1 meter from a window with direct sunlight. For similar tropical plants, you can also consider caring for the Monstera deliciosa .
To get the most out of your 5L Anthurium Potting Soil, fertilize every 4 to 6 weeks with a liquid houseplant fertilizer during the growing season. Choose a fertilizer rich in potassium and phosphorus to encourage flowering. During the winter months, you can reduce fertilizing to once every two months. Read more about suitable fertilizers in the potting soil and accessories section .
Anthuriums contain calcium oxalate crystals and are slightly toxic if ingested; therefore, prevent children and pets from nibbling on the leaves. Upon contact, the leaf edges may itch and experience mild irritation, but the symptoms usually disappear after a few hours. Keep the plant out of reach of curious pets or use an attractive plant stand to prevent this. For non-toxic houseplants, please see our pet-safe collection .
Many enthusiasts combine different Anthurium varieties to create a colorful ensemble. The most common varieties are:
Yellow leaves often indicate soil that is too wet or not enough light. First, check the moisture of the potting mix; let the top 2 cm dry out slightly before watering again. If the light is insufficient, move the plant to a brighter spot out of direct sunlight. Read our tips for root rot in houseplants .
A dripping plant could mean you're overwatering or that the potting soil isn't absorbing the water properly. Reduce the amount of water and use a pot with drainage holes. For an extra water buffer, you can add some hydro pebbles or Leca balls to the bottom.
Spider mites, mealybugs, and thrips sometimes occur on anthuriums in damp conditions. Rinse the leaves weekly with a plant sprayer and, in case of severe infestation, use sticky traps to repel fungus gnats . For natural control, you can also try a mild plant spray from our collection of plant accessories.
If the roots are growing through the drainage holes at the bottom, your plant needs a larger pot or root pruning. Repot your anthurium with fresh Anthurium Potting Soil (5L) in a pot that's 2 cm larger than its current one. This gives your plant room to grow again without having to take on too much soil at once.
Brown edges usually indicate overly dry air or irregular watering. Place your anthurium in a location with at least 60% humidity or use a humidifier. Water evenly and avoid hard tap water by filtering it or letting it sit. For more humidity tips, read our blog post about 5 tips to increase humidity in your home .
