How to care for your Anthurium King Veitchii

It likes bright indirect light. It can tolerate lower light conditions but will slow down growth and become very leggy.

WATER

This anthurium needs soil moist, and water when it's 50% dry.

HUMIDITY

Your anthurium needs 70%+ humidity.

TEMPERATURE

It does well in temperatures between 70-90 degrees.

FOOD

It likes to be fed monthly or every other month with some general indoor plant fertilizer. 

PET- FRIENDLYNESS

Additional Tips*
Use a well-draining substrate, such as a mixture of coconut fiber, perlite, pine bark, and activated charcoal. This ensures good aeration and prevents excess humidity.

The acclimation process takes a toll on anthuriums, so if they drop a few leaves, don't worry it will spring back in no time
