Caring Tips

Watering

Watering an Anthurium clarinervium plant is a lot like watering other houseplants. You don’t want to over-water the plants but you don’t want to dehydrate it either. Over-watering your plant can cause nasty root rot. Root rot rots the entirety of the roots until the plant dies. It’s important to make sure you’re using a self-draining pot. Not giving your plant hydration starves it from that much needed water. It also stops it from going through photosynthesis. During the growing season, you want the soil for the plant to be moist. Don’t water it until the first two layers of soil are dry. You can test the moistness of your plant by pushing your finger through the soil. The soil should be dry up to your second knuckle. Keep in mind, Anthurium clarinervium plants have exposed roots because they’re epiphyte plants. Exposed roots dry out faster than the roots of other plants.

Light

The right lighting can make or break your new plant. Anthurium clarinervium plants are picky and sensitive. Keep your Anthurium clarinervium plant away from direct sunlight. This means keeping it away from windows with direct sunlight coming through. Don’t sit it under any grow lights either. Direct sunlight can burn and scorch your plant. It’s very sensitive to the sun and heat. Filtered sunlight is the easiest option. A great way to gain filtered sunlight is to place the plant on an east-facing window. A north-facing window works as well. Anthurium clarinervium plants need at least indirect light. They thrive with medium-light in brightness.
