Know before you buy
This plant thrives in bright, indirect light. While it can tolerate medium light, it will produce more of its signature white blooms if kept in a bright spot away from harsh, direct sun rays.
No, the White Anthurium is toxic if ingested by pets or children. It is best to place it on a high shelf or in a room that your pets cannot access.
The goal is to keep the soil consistently moist but never waterlogged. Check the top inch of soil; if it feels dry to the touch, it is time to water.
Yes, it prefers high humidity to mimic its native tropical environment. If your home is dry, you can improve conditions by grouping it with other plants, using a humidifier, or placing it on a pebble tray.
