Wavy Anthurium - Live Starter Plants in 2 Inch Pots

Description: The Anthurium plowmanii, commonly known as the Wavy Anthurium, Bird's Nest Anthurium, or King Anthurium, is a stunning tropical plant admired for its unique, wavy-edged leaves. The foliage is large, leathery, and glossy, with a deep green color that gives a lush, tropical appearance. The leaves can grow up to 2 feet long, forming a rosette pattern that resembles a bird’s nest. This plant is an epiphyte, meaning it naturally grows on other surfaces like tree trunks in its native habitat but can also thrive in containers.Place the Anthurium plowmanii in bright to medium indirect light. Direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, so ensure the plant is shielded from direct rays. This plant prefers warm temperatures ranging from 65°F to 75°F. It should be protected from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.Water the plant when the top 3/4 of the soil has dried out. It's crucial to fully and evenly saturate the soil during each watering session but allow it to dry out before watering again to prevent root rot. The Anthurium plowmanii thrives in high humidity, ideally between 60% to 80%. You can maintain humidity levels by misting the leaves, using a humidifier, or placing the plant on a pebble tray with water.Use a well-draining soil mix composed of peat moss, perlite, and orchid bark to ensure good aeration and moisture retention. The soil should be slightly acidic with a pH between 5.5 and 6.5. Repot the Anthurium plowmanii every two years or when it becomes root-bound. Choose a pot slightly larger than the current one with good drainage holes.Regularly prune any yellow or brown leaves to encourage new growth and maintain the plant’s health. Use sterilized shears to avoid introducing diseases. Propagate through root division during the growing season. Carefully separate the root system and plant the divisions in individual pots.The Wavy Anthurium adds an exotic touch to any indoor space with its unique foliage and lush appearance. It’s a relatively low-maintenance plant, making it suitable for both novice and experienced plant enthusiasts. The plant’s ability to grow in a variety of light conditions and its tolerance to humidity fluctuations make it versatile for different indoor environments.
