Care Instructions
Anthurium papillilaminum requires bright, indirect light and high humidity to thrive. It prefers moderate temperatures and should be kept away from cold drafts. Water the plant regularly to keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged.Soil
This plant prefers a well-draining, loamy soil mix that retains moisture without becoming waterlogged. A mix of peat, perlite, and orchid bark works well. Ensure the pot has good drainage to prevent root rot.Fertilizer
Use a balanced fertilizer with a nutrient composition of 20-20-20. Fertilize every 4-6 weeks during the growing season to support healthy growth. Reduce feeding during the winter months.Repotting
Repot Anthurium papillilaminum every 1-2 years or when it outgrows its current pot. Choose a slightly larger pot and refresh the soil mix. Handle the roots gently to avoid damage.Propagation
Propagate by division or stem cuttings. The best time to propagate is during the growing season. Ensure each division has a healthy root system and plant in a suitable soil mix.Pruning
Prune to remove dead or yellowing leaves and to maintain the plant's shape. Pruning can be done throughout the year as needed. Use clean, sharp scissors to make clean cuts.Toxicity
Anthurium papillilaminum is toxic to pets and humans if ingested. The plant contains calcium oxalate crystals, which can cause irritation and swelling in the mouth and throat. Keep out of reach of children and pets.Additional
