Know before you buy
This plant thrives in moderate, indirect light. Avoid placing it in direct sun, which can scorch the leaves, or in deep shade, which will significantly slow its already steady growth rate.
The best approach is to let the soil dry out significantly between waterings. Check the top few inches of soil; if it feels dry to the touch, it is ready for water, but be careful not to let it sit in excess moisture to avoid root rot.
No, this plant is not considered pet-safe. It should be kept in a location that is inaccessible to curious pets to prevent accidental ingestion.
The story stake is a decorative addition included with your plant. It provides a bit of charm and context regarding the plant's history and origin from our family-owned nursery.
The Anthurium superbum has a slow growth rate. It is a great choice if you prefer a plant that maintains its compact size and shape over a long period rather than one that requires frequent repotting.
