The key care tips for Anthuriums are watering once or twice a week, placing the plant in indirect sunlight, and keeping it at a room temperature between 18°C and 22°C. In addition, you can occasionally give the plant some Anthurium fertiliser. This helps stimulate flowering and supports healthy leaves. Wondering how and how often to do this? In this article, you’ll find everything you need to know.

What you should know about Anthurium fertiliser

Anthurium fertiliser supports growth and helps the plant produce new flowers. It also keeps the leaves firm and healthy.

How often should you fertilise?

An Anthurium does need fertiliser, but not too much or too often. A good guideline is once every three to four weeks. This provides enough nutrients without creating a build-up. Fertilising is only necessary during the growing season, which runs from March to October. In winter, there’s no need to fertilise an Anthurium, as it enters a resting period. Tip: choose a fixed moment each month to avoid over-fertilising.

Always dilute with water

Never apply Anthurium fertiliser neat – always mix it with water. Shake the bottle before use, measure the correct amount, and add the fertiliser to water. Always follow the instructions on the packaging. A solution that is too strong can damage the roots, while a diluted mixture is safely absorbed by the plant.
