About Black Anthurium
Black Anthurium is a relatively rare houseplant 🌿 that needs regular watering to thrive. They do best in abundant sunlight ☀ and should be less than 3 feet from a window.
Black Anthurium likes soil that is good at retaining moisture. You may want to supplement with a gentle, organic fertilizer throughout the peak growing season.
⚠️ Black Anthurium is not safe to consume. If you, a family member, or a pet has ingested any amount of plant material contact Poison Control, US (800) 222-1222, or your veterinarian. If you have children, cats, or dogs in the home, we suggest keeping this plant out of reach.

Finding light for Black Anthurium in your home
a window
Black Anthurium may have difficulty thriving, and will drop leaves 🍃, without ample sunlight.
Place it less than 3 feet from a south-facing window to maximize the potential for growth.
Select your region to see how the current weather in your area affects the placement of Black Anthurium in your home 🏡.
How to fertilize Black Anthurium
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Black Anthurium after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Is now the right time to repot my anthirium? I have a king Antherium, that is very rootbound, and she dries out about every two days. Can I repot her now? Or is it too late in the season? Here’s a semi old photo of her! #Anthurium #Indoorplants #RepotSeason #help #HappyPlants #GrowLights #TropicalPlants

Some #Anthurium we saw at the Swap yesterday. First 2 pics we got this big No ID (anyone have any ideas) and this wasn't even the biggest leaf! It had reddish petioles if that helps. I was so shook by these guys I forgot to take pics and had to screen grab video! Then the next 2 are a HUGE hanging Anthurium, but can't remember what he said even tho I asked like 6 times! I'm definitely getting into Anthurium soon!! #greggang #greggers #northtexasgreggang #greginyourcity #gregmagic #easttexasgreggang #plants #houseplants #theplantdadlife #heyyall #plantparenthood #plantparent #plantmom #plantdad #plantcommunity #payitforward #giveback #happyplants #bebetter #spreadlove #keepgrowing #community
