Anthurium cubense

Anthurium cubense Culture

Successful cultivation of Anthurium cubense requires attention to the following aspects:

• Humidity: Requires high ambient humidity. The use of humidifiers, frequent misting, or cultivation in terrariums may be necessary.
• Watering: Keep the substrate consistently moist, but not waterlogged. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.
• Substrate: Prefers a well-draining, airy substrate, rich in organic material.
