Anthurium warocqueanum
The Anthurium warocqueanum prefers bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can burn the delicate leaves, while too little light can stunt growth and reduce leaf size. A position near a window is ideal, but where the plant is protected from direct sunlight.
For optimal development, the Anthurium warocqueanum should be kept at temperatures between 20 and 26°C and a humidity of 80-90%. This tropical plant prefers particularly high humidity to ensure its well-being. A location in a bathroom or greenhouse can be particularly beneficial, as the humidity is often higher here.
The substrate of the Anthurium warocqueanum should be evenly moist, but not wet. Waterlogging must be avoided at all costs, as this can lead to root rot. In the colder months, watering can be reduced so as not to disturb growth during the dormant phase.
When watering, it is advisable to use a well-drained substrate. A mixture of coconut fiber, perlite and a small amount of orchid soil ensures good aeration of the roots and even moisture. It is important never to let the substrate dry out completely.
During the growing season (spring and summer), the Anthurium warocqueanum should be fed with a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer every four to six weeks. In the cooler months, fertilization can be reduced or stopped completely, as growth is much slower during this time.
The Anthurium warocqueanum needs good air circulation, especially around the roots. However, draughts should be avoided as they can damage the delicate leaves. To remove dust and keep the plant healthy, the leaves should be wiped regularly with a damp cloth.
