CARE GUIDE

How to keep Anthurium Durandii.

Light

Anthurium durandii originates from environments like forest undergrowth or stony regions, which offer natural shadow. It favors partially sunny situations, although it has the capacity to acclimate to either complete sunlight or total shade, showing its adaptable and resilient character.

Temperature

Anthurium durandii is native to regions with a tropical climate, which is predominantly hot and moist. Consequently, it is highly acclimated to warm and humid conditions. The plant does not fare well with abrupt shifts in temperature, favoring a consistent climate instead. Therefore, it's crucial to shun temperature variations indoors. Generally, it has a low tolerance for cold and needs a more elevated temperature to thrive. The plant's growth could stop, or it might perish if the surrounding temperature falls excessively low.

Fertilizer

Anthurium durandii needs a substantial amount of fertilizer predominantly in spring, summer, and the beginning of autumn, when it experiences an active growth period. The purpose of fertilization is to supply crucial nutrients that might be deficient in the soil, encouraging robust development of roots and stems, as well as appealing leaves, an important characteristic of this specific plant.

Pot & Repot

During the warmer months of spring or summer, the Anthurium durandii should be repotted in a container that has ample drainage and is only marginally larger than its current one. After planting, it needs to be watered well, and then positioned in a location with plenty of diffused light. As the plant develops, it may be beneficial to include a moss pole for added support.
