Know before you buy
This plant requires bright, indirect light to produce its signature white spathes year-round. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves, or in low-light corners, which will significantly reduce its flowering potential.
No, this plant is toxic to pets if ingested. It is best kept on a high shelf or a tabletop that is inaccessible to curious animals.
You can increase humidity by grouping it with other plants, placing it on a pebble tray filled with water, or using a humidifier nearby. Aim for 60-80% humidity to keep the foliage lush and prevent the edges of the leaves from browning.
Watering should be moderate; allow the top inch or two of soil to dry out before watering again. Be careful not to let the plant sit in standing water, as this can lead to root rot.
The White Anthurium has an upright growth habit and can reach a mature height of up to 36 inches. Its compact nature makes it an excellent choice for tabletops and shelves.
You should plan to repot your Anthurium every two years. This refreshes the soil nutrients and provides enough space for the root system to continue supporting healthy growth.
