How to fertilize Anthurium 'Oaxaca'

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 Anthurium 'Oaxaca' after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

should i cut off hurt leaves? there are some leaves that are split or have some wounds. Are those to be cut off to let regrow or should i leave it alone?

What's your fertilizer? Any tips for a flowering anthurium Hello. I'm currently using for my anthurium TA tripart + Pro bloom. Unfortunately, one inflorescence didn't make it, so in couple of days it's going to die. But another inflo is coming out. I'm planning to add another vitamin complex B52. What do you think? Will it work? Tripart+probloom+b52 #fertilizer #anthurium

How often should I water? I read conflicting suggestions, i.e. 6 ice cubes once a week; water it until it drains out the bottom; and some say to keep it moist. I’m confused. lol #Anthurium

Repotted my #Anthurium that I’m rehabbing. She already looks so much better from when I first got her! Hope she stays healthy 💕

Can you give me #anthurium advice? Hey #greggang, As some of you may remember I purchased seeds from #seedlingraceseries and have been growing this vittarifollum cross since. It seems like it is mature enough I want to be sure I give it all that a mature plant needs. From the very little information I can find it seems like I just let it grow in a pot and know it's going to hang "sideways." That is about it. Any other advice? Right now it's in a south-facing window with no extra humidity. #anthuriumaddict #happyplants #newgrowth 🌱 #NewEnglandGregGang 🌱 #NortheastGregGang 🌱 #MaineGang 🌱 #ThePlantMompy

💩 Fertilizer

❄️ Dormancy
It’s common for Anthurium 'Oaxaca' to go dormant in the wintertime and you may notice their growth slow down. Waterings should be spaced out more during this time.
🌎 Native Region
Anthurium 'Oaxaca' is native to the Americas.
🧐 Troubleshooting
When troubleshooting a sad-looking houseplant, start by checking for signs of distress in its leaves, such as yellowing, browning, or drooping, which can indicate overwatering or nutrient deficiencies.
Inspect the soil moisture; too dry or too wet soil can cause problems.
Ensure the plant is getting the right amount of light, as too much or too little can stress it.
Finally, consider environmental factors like temperature and humidity, and adjust care routines accordingly to revive your plant.
