About
Anthurium Pallidiflorum, also known as the Strap Leaf Anthurium, is a species of flowering plant in the family Araceae. It is native to Colombia and Ecuador and is often found in lowland forests and subtropics regions.
Maintenance
Anthurium Pallidiflorum is a low-maintenance plant and doesn’t require too much care. The only thing you need to be careful about is not to overwater it as it can lead to the rotting of roots. Also, make sure that the pot you’re using has drainage holes in them so the water can pass through easily.
Water Requirement
Anthurium Pallidiflorum doesn’t require too much water and can even tolerate drought conditions. However, you need to keep an eye on its watering schedule.
As mentioned earlier, this plant is susceptible to root rot. To avoid this, It is best to water this plant when the soil feels dry to the touch. The ideal watering schedule is once a week in summer, and once per 2 weeks in winter.
Soil Requirement
Due to its native habitat, this plant requires organic and humus-rich medium to thrive. In between the rich, thick trees, this plant uses to get its nutrients from food waste falling from the trees onto the soil and increase fertility for other plants.
To grow Anthurium Pallidiflorum, you need to imitate its native conditions. Make sure the potting mix drains effectively and has a fair amount of air in it.
It must also be able to retain moisture. Sphagnum moss or a peat-based potting mix is the perfect growing medium for these Anthuriums.
Light Requirement
As we mentioned before, these plants need proper lighting conditions to thrive. Not too much to burn its foliage nor too little to slow down its growth process; just the right amount. Usually, it requires medium sunlight and some exposure to morning sun to flourish, however, it is suggested to keep it under indirect sunlight for the first few days to protect it from travel shock.
Fertilizer Requirement
Since the leaves of this plant are large, it requires a fair amount of fertilizer to keep them healthy and growing. However, too much fertilizer can damage the roots, so be careful while applying it.
