How to fertilize Crystal 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 Crystal Anthurium after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

#PlantID I’m not sure this is actually a Persian Cyclamen, could someone please help me identify? I bought this plant today but couldn’t find anything that looked similar in the Greg identification. It’s only got one leaf at the moment but it’s a very velvety feeling leaf. I have a feeling it is a #BlackVelvetAlocasia but I can’t be sure! Any help is greatly appreciated!! 1st image: my unknown plant 2nd image: images of #persiancyclamen 3rd image: image taken from Greg of a black velvet Alocasia owned by someone else. #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #WhatPlantIsThis

🐶 🐈 👶 Toxicity
Crystal Anthurium is extremely dangerous if consumed. 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 immediately. Crystal Anthurium is not recommended for homes with children, cats, or dogs.
💨 Humidity
Crystal Anthurium prefers dry environments. Providing extra humidity or misting your plant allows water to linger on leaves, which can create the perfect environment for harmful types of fungi.
🪴 Soil
Crystal Anthurium is very sensitive to dry soil, so choose a potting soil that retains moisture. A good soil will still drain well and contain lots of organic matter such as coco coir or sphagnum moss.
💩 Fertilizer
Crystal Anthurium is a fast growing plant and may deplete the nutrients in its soil over time. Replenish them with a gentle organic fertilizer or compost every 1-2 months depending on your location and season. Fertilize more often during the growing season and in warmer and brighter climates.
❄️ Dormancy
It’s common for Crystal Anthurium 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
Crystal Anthurium is native to the Americas.
🌸 Flowers
Yes, you may see your Crystal Anthurium bloom with the right amount of sunlight and water.
🌱 Propagation
Crystal Anthurium can be propagated by division into new individual plants.
- Check to see if there is more than one plant. In some cases they may still be beneath the soil surface. If you feel confident, you may remove the soil to check for baby plantlets below!
- If there are multiple plants growing, unpot the plant and gently tug the plants apart, being careful not to disturb too many of the roots. They may be connected by large root segments which you may need to break to free the plantlet.
- Pot up the new plant in well-draining soil
- Repot the parent plant back into its original pot
🧐 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.
