  • Scientific Name: Anthurium radicans x luxurians
  • Common Names: Jungle King Anthurium
  • Native Region: Hybrid origin, with parent species native to tropical rainforests of Central and South America.

Light Requirements: Prefers bright, indirect light. It can tolerate some lower light conditions but thrives best in bright, filtered light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.

Watering Needs: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure proper drainage. Reduce watering frequency during the winter months when growth slows.

Soil Preference: Use a well-draining potting mix rich in organic matter. A mixture of orchid bark, peat moss, and perlite works well to provide the necessary drainage and aeration. Anthuriums benefit from a mix designed for epiphytic plants.

How to Fertilize: Fertilize during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced, water-soluble houseplant fertilizer. Apply fertilizer at half-strength every 4-6 weeks. Reduce feeding in the fall and winter when the plant's growth slows.

Hardiness Zone: Typically grown indoors or as a container plant in zones 10-11. It is not frost-tolerant and should be protected from temperatures below 60°F (16°C).

Pet Safety: Toxic to cats and dogs if ingested. It contains calcium oxalate crystals which can cause irritation and swelling in the mouth and digestive tract. Keep it out of reach of pets and children.

Additional Care Tips: Remove any yellow or damaged leaves to encourage new growth. Repot every 1-2 years in the spring, using a pot one size larger to give the roots room to grow. Clean leaves regularly to remove dust and maintain healthy photosynthesis.
