Anthurium growth?
Hi! I need a suggestion with my anthurium clarinervium 🪴 I recently cut out one flower stake that had finished its flowering, and the other one is now slowly bending down so I think it’s going to die soon. However, that’s not what concerns me; this beauty has produced a new leaf since I was gifted her, some weeks have passed now and I feel like it’s not sizing up. It’s my first ever anthurium so I don’t know if they are just slow growers. The stem has become longer than before, but the leaf itself is very slow and maybe I’m just imagining growth at this point 😳 The plant is in a room with a north-east facing window, it still has much indirect light for the whole day (it’s summer here), 28.5 Celsius during the day. I don’t have the chance to place her in another room, so.. is there something I can do to provide growth, or is it overall good and I’m worrying for nothing? I hope so.. also, I watered her last week adding liquid fertilizer. Thanks! 🙉 #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #HappyPlants #Anthurium

@EatMoreVeggies Anthurium Clarinervium has a slow to moderate growth rate. It typically puts out a new leaf every few weeks to a couple of months under good conditions. It takes several years to reach a mature size of about 1.5 to 2 feet across. Growth Timeline. Leaf emergence: One new leaf every 4 to 8 weeks during the warm spring and summer months.Full maturity: It takes 3 to 5 years (and sometimes up to 8 years) to reach its ultimate adult size and form a full, lush centerpiece. Factors That Speed Up GrowthBright indirect light: Placing the plant near a bright window helps fuel faster leaf production.Chunky, airy soil: Using an aroid mix with bark, perlite, and peat prevents root suffocation. Warmth and humidity: Keeping temperatures between 65°F and 80°F with moderate-to-high humidity keeps growth steady.Light fertilizer: Feeding with a diluted balanced fertilizer every 4 to 6 weeks during the growing season supports faster development.
@Succulent_Soul I’ve already fertilized recently! However, her roots are coming out of the pot, just a couple of cm but maybe she needs a repot? I just don’t wanna mess her balance
@EatMoreVeggies I would repot her since she is starting to outgrow it. For the first few days she might look a little droopy but as long as you use the same soil and do everything as you used to do she should bounce back. She might also look perfectly fine the first week or two and then when she realizes that she’s been moved, she might look sad for a little bit. I wouldn’t put her in a pot that’s too big maybe only a few inches bigger.
@EatMoreVeggies I would think so as long as you keep doing what your doing! It will take time because anthuriums tend to grow really slow. I hope everything goes well! 😊 🤞
@EatMoreVeggies hey El, not a good idea to repot right now while she’s adjusting to your home. This leaf might not size up more, but you should wait to see what the next leaf does . I only repot when it’s absolutely necessary. Since this is her first new leaf with you, she is still adjusting. Since a north east window has very little light in the northern hemisphere, she might be needing a grow light if you can’t move her to a brighter location.
