Anthurium Wendlingeri 14cm

🌿 Anthurium wendlingeri Care Guide

Wendlingeri is all about tropical elegance — long, strap-like leaves cascade beautifully while its incredible corkscrew-shaped flower spikes make it one of the most distinctive Anthuriums in the world. Perfect for hanging displays, this collector's favourite brings true rainforest character to any indoor jungle. 🌿✨

☀️ Light

• Thrives in bright, indirect light
• Medium light is tolerated, but growth may slow
• Avoid direct sun — leaves can scorch or lose their rich green colour
• Bright filtered light encourages larger foliage and flowering

💧 Water

• Keep lightly moist, but never soggy
• Allow the top layer of the substrate to dry slightly between waterings
• Use a chunky, airy Anthurium mix (bark, perlite, coco coir and sphagnum moss)
• Excellent drainage is essential for healthy roots

🌫️ Humidity

• Prefers high humidity (70–85%)
• Higher humidity encourages lush foliage and healthy flower spikes
• Good airflow is just as important as humidity
• Warm, stable temperatures promote consistent growth

🍽️ Feeding

• Feed every 4–6 weeks during active growth
• Use a balanced diluted liquid fertiliser
• Reduce feeding during cooler months

🌱 Quick Tips

• Ideal for hanging baskets or elevated displays where the foliage can cascade naturally
• Avoid handling new leaves while they're unfurling
• Filtered or rainwater is beneficial if your tap water is hard
• Repot only when necessary, as Anthuriums prefer being slightly root-bound

💡 Big Plant Lad Wisdom

Wendlingeri doesn't just grow flowers—it grows botanical corkscrews. Hang it high, let those leaves drape naturally, and prepare for everyone to ask, "What on earth is that?" 🌿✨
