Know before you buy
Yes, Rare Foliage Plant Co guarantees that the exact plant pictured is the specific specimen you will receive.
This plant is classified as intermediate care. It requires consistent attention to light and moisture levels, so it is best suited for those who have some experience with tropical houseplants.
We recommend waiting at least two to four weeks before repotting. This allows the plant to acclimate to the specific light and humidity conditions of your home, reducing the risk of transplant shock.
Place your Anthurium in a spot that receives plenty of natural light, such as near an east-facing window or a few feet back from a south-facing window. Avoid direct sun exposure, as it can scorch the variegated leaves.
No, the Anthurium Pterodactyl is toxic to pets. It should be kept in a location that is inaccessible to curious animals.
Check the soil moisture by feeling the top inch of the potting mix. If it feels dry to the touch, it is time to water thoroughly until moisture drains from the bottom of the pot.
