• Humidity: High humidity is crucial for Anthurium 'Amazon Beauty', ideally between 60-80%. Use a humidifier, place the plant on a humidity tray, or grow it in a terrarium or enclosed environment to maintain adequate moisture levels.
• Watering: Water regularly, keeping the substrate evenly moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top layer of the substrate to dry slightly between waterings. Reduce watering during the winter months when growth slows.
