Anthurium growth?

Hi! I need a suggestion with my anthurium clarinervium πŸͺ΄ 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! πŸ™‰ #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 65Β°F and 80Β°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.
I don’t know the answers but she’s a beauty! 😍
I would try fertilizing her and make sure that she hasn’t outgrown her pot. If her roots are surrounding the inside of the pot, she is root bound and needs a new one.
@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
