Anthurium Bakeri, also known as Bird's Nest Anthurium, is a tropical plant native to Costa Rica and Panama. It is a small, compact plant that can grow up to 1-2 feet tall and wide. The plant produces long-lasting pink or red flowers that are heart-shaped and have a glossy finish. Here are some care tips for Anthurium Bakeri:
-
Light: Anthurium Bakeri prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight, as it can damage the leaves.
-
Water: Water the plant when the top 1-2 inches of the soil are dry. Anthurium Bakeri prefers consistently moist soil but can be prone to root rot if overwatered.
-
Humidity: This plant prefers high humidity levels, ideally around 60-80%. You can increase the humidity by placing a tray of water near the plant, misting it regularly or using a humidifier.
-
Temperature: Anthurium Bakeri prefers warm temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C) and does not tolerate cold drafts.
-
Soil: Use a well-draining soil mix with good water retention to keep the plant moist but not waterlogged.
-
Fertilizer: Use a balanced liquid fertilizer once a month during the growing season (spring and summer).
-
Repotting: Repot Anthurium Bakeri every 1-2 years, or when it outgrows its current container. Choose a pot that is one size larger than the current one and use fresh soil mix.
