Bonplands AnthuriumAnthurium bonplandii

Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Anthuriums prefer consistently moist but not waterlogged conditions. Reduce watering slightly in cooler months to prevent root rot.

Ensure good drainage to avoid standing water.

Remove spent flowers and yellowing leaves to encourage new growth and maintain a tidy appearance. Use clean, sharp scissors or pruning shears. Cut stems at the base where they emerge from the soil or rhizome.

Propagate by division of the rhizome during repotting or by stem cuttings. Ensure cuttings have at least one node and are placed in moist, well-draining potting mix. Rooting hormone can be beneficial.

Repot every 1-2 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining, chunky potting mix suitable for aroids. Choose a pot only slightly larger than the current one to avoid overwatering.
