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

#PlantMail today! Got my #1 wishlist plant (for now) - meet my new Anthurium veitchii! These are natural from Colombia's rainforests, used to high humidity. I got a small/medium (more medium-sized, in my opinion) specimen from my usual vendor, so already got leaves about the size of a hand. A mature individual can grow to 2-6 ft. tall, 3-4 ft. wide. And the more incredible: The leaves of an Anthurium veitchii can grow up to four feet long and 40 centimeters wide! Here are some pics for you to see (or meet!) my new friend :) —- #anthurium #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #PlantTherapy #FreshLeafFriday #FreshFeaturedFriday
