🌱 Propagation

Velvet Cardboard Anthurium can be propagated by the stem method. To propagate:

  • Make a cut just above the node. The node is the break in the stem where the leaf emerges.
  • To get the cutting to root, you can either:
    • Place the cutting in water until roots emerge and are ~2” long and then transplant into well-draining soil, or
    • Place the cutting directly into well-draining soil and water when dry.

🧐 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.

Mine is only a baby but has put out 3 new leaves in the 2 months I’ve had her! I have her in a greenhouse cabinet under grow lights for now but am hoping to have her elsewhere in the house once she’s more mature.
I have her in a chunky mix with sphag moss top dressing around the upper roots that are above the soil for humidity. She gets watered with distilled water every 10-17 days :-).
