Anthurium Lilli
Anthurium Lilli
Anthurium 'Lilli' is a compact, decorative tropical houseplant known for its glossy, heart-shaped leaves and striking, long-lasting spathes in shades of red or pink. It typically grows as a low clumping plant, making it well suited to tabletops or small pots.
Light
Bright, indirect light. Avoid direct midday sun which can scorch leaves. East- or north-facing windows are ideal; a few feet back from a bright south- or west-facing window works too.
Temperature & Humidity
Keep temperatures between 65–80°F (18–27°C). Avoid drafts and sudden temperature drops below about 60°F (15°C). Prefers high humidity (60%+). Increase humidity with a pebble tray, humidifier, or grouping plants. Regular misting helps but is not a substitute for consistent humidity.
Watering
Water when the top 1–2 inches of potting mix feel dry. Water thoroughly until excess drains; never let the plant sit in standing water. Use room-temperature water. Reduce frequency in cooler months but don’t let the soil dry out completely for long periods.
Soil & Potting
Use a well-draining, airy mix: high-quality indoor potting mix amended with orchid bark, perlite, or coco coir. Good drainage prevents root rot.
Fertilizer
Feed with a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer (e.g., 10-10-10) every 4–6 weeks during the growing season (spring–early fall). Reduce feeding in winter.
Toxicity
All parts are toxic if ingested; keep away from pets and children.
