About Plant

Caring for Tarzan

Light

Medium to bright. Anthuriums enjoy bright filtered light, but not direct sunlight or their leaves will burn.

Water & humidity

Anthuriums like to have slightly moist soil in summer, but never damp - let just the top layer dry out before watering again. Rather underwater if you're unsure. In winter, wait for the top centimetre of soil to dry out before watering again.

Feeding

Anthuriums aren't plants that regularly shed and produce leaves. Each leaf lasts months, and growth of new leaves is slower than other plants, therefore it doesn't like too much fertiliser. Feed twice during the growing season at half dose.

Re-potting

The Jungle King is an epiphyte in the wild, growing in the crevices of trees, their roots free from soil. Their roots like good air flow and oxygen, with water draining away quickly. A good orchid mix with a handful of regular potting soil works best for this plant. Re-pot every year if necessary.

Atrium Top Tip

Keep the humidity levels above 50%. In the winter months you may need to spritz the leaves with water or move the plant near a humidifier. Anthuriums grow in moist jungle climates, absorbing water from the air, so make sure it doesn't get too dry. Keep temperatures above 15 degrees Celcius, avoiding cool draughts in winter.

Quirky plant fact

These Anthuriums produce different shaped leaves throughout their lifespan, ranging from rounded to pointy.
