Anthurian Culture


Anthurium plants away from wind and direct sunlight; 20% to 30% filtered sunlight permitted. Temperatures 60 to 75 degrees. Humidity should be 60% to 80% with good air circulation. Where humidity is low, mist flowers and foliage daily.

Fertilize monthly with a balanced fertilizer such as Peters 20-20-20 or Osmocote. Fertilizer should contain organic supplements and minor elements.

If you live in a hot area such as Florida, moderate watering is necessary. Anthurium roots should always be slightly moist, but not sopping wet. Always use potting medium with excellent drainage properties.

Selby Gardens is open every day from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., except Christmas.

Adults $17, Children 6-11 $6, Members Free.
