Know before you buy
A mother plant is a mature, established specimen that has reached a significant size and developmental stage. Because it is fully grown, it is often used for propagation or as a centerpiece in a collection, offering a more robust structure than a younger starter plant.
This plant requires bright, indirect light to maintain its foliage health and growth. Avoid harsh, direct sun, which can scorch the leaves, but ensure it is placed near a bright window to prevent the plant from becoming leggy.
We recommend waiting at least one week before repotting. This allows the plant to acclimate to the humidity and light levels of your home, reducing the stress of the transition.
Check the soil moisture by feeling the top inch or two; if it feels dry to the touch, it is time to water. On average, this occurs about once a week, but you should adjust based on your home's specific temperature and humidity levels.
No, this Anthurium is toxic to pets if ingested. It is best to keep it on a high shelf or in a room that your pets cannot access.
As an established mother plant, it may have minor cosmetic imperfections on its mature leaves. These are natural signs of the plant's growth and maturity and do not affect its overall health or ability to thrive.
