Anthuriums require bright, indirect light for most of the day—an east-facing window is your best choice. If you notice that the leaves are turning brown, discoloring, or appear scorched, you should move them to an area with less sunlight.

As a general rule of thumb, you should water the plant when the first inch of soil is dry. Allow the soil to dry out between waterings to discourage root rot. However, you should also avoid letting the plant become too dry and thirsty. If you notice your anthurium leaves becoming lighter in color, the plant probably needs more water.

Anthurium should be fed only every 2-3 months. Use a quart strength fertilizer, as this plant is sensitive to stronger doses. Look for a fertilizer with a high phosphorus level, as this will encourage vibrant colors and healthy growth.
