How to Care for Anthurium 'Succes Red'

Light Requirements

• Bright, indirect light is best for Anthurium 'Succes Red.' While it can tolerate low light, bright indirect light promotes vibrant blooms and healthy foliage.
• Avoid direct sunlight as it can scorch the leaves and fade the flowers. A position near a north- or east-facing window is ideal.

Watering

• Water regularly, but allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Anthuriums prefer moist, but not waterlogged soil.
• Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry to the touch. Overwatering can lead to root rot, while underwatering will cause the leaves to wilt.
• Use room-temperature water to avoid shocking the roots.

Humidity and Temperature

• Humidity: Anthuriums thrive in high humidity environments. To increase humidity, consider misting the plant occasionally or placing it near a humidifier.
• Temperature: Keep your Anthurium in temperatures between 18-26°C (65-80°F). Avoid placing it near cold drafts or in rooms with fluctuating temperatures.

Soil Requirements

• Well-draining soil is essential. A mix designed for orchids or houseplants with good aeration works well.
• You can create a perfect potting mix by combining potting soil, peat moss, and perlite or bark to improve drainage and airflow around the roots.

Fertilization

• Feed Anthurium 'Succes Red' with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 6-8 weeks during the growing season (spring to early autumn).
• Use a fertilizer diluted to half strength to avoid burning the roots.
• Do not fertilize during the winter months when the plant's growth naturally slows.

Height and Spread of Anthurium 'Succes Red'

• Height: Anthurium andreanum 'Succes Red' can grow up to 40-50 cm (16-20 inches) in height when kept indoors.
• Spread: It can spread up to 30-40 cm (12-16 inches), depending on growing conditions.

Pruning and Maintenance

• Pruning: Regularly remove yellowing or dead leaves to keep the plant looking tidy and to encourage new growth.
• Deadheading: Remove spent flowers to promote continued blooming and enhance the plant’s overall appearance.
• Repotting: Repot your Anthurium every 2-3 years to refresh the soil and provide more room for root growth. Choose a pot that’s 1-2 inches larger than the current one.

Common Problems and Solutions

Yellow Leaves

• Cause: Yellowing leaves can indicate overwatering or insufficient light. Ensure you’re allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings and provide adequate indirect light.
• Solution: Adjust the watering routine and move the plant to a brighter spot.

Brown Leaf Tips

• Cause: Low humidity or underwatering can cause the tips of the leaves to brown and dry out.
• Solution: Increase humidity by misting the plant or using a humidity tray and check that the plant is getting enough water.

Lack of Blooms

• Cause: Insufficient light or nutrients can result in poor blooming.
• Solution: Move the plant to a brighter location with indirect light and consider feeding it with a balanced fertilizer to encourage more flowers.
