Anthurium loves indirect sunlight
Like almost all plants, Anthurium needs natural light to live and grow. However, you must be careful, as it cannot tolerate direct rays of the sun , as these burn its leaves, making them acquire a yellowish color. If this happens, the best thing you can do is move her away from the window and find another corner for her.
Light, well-draining soil or substrate
To grow Anthurium very easily, you need to make sure that the substrate in the pot has enough capacity to retain moisture but without flooding. The soil must be aerated and it is best to choose a slightly acidic pH. To achieve this you can add a little compost or peat and you can opt for a “universal” substrate for your plant and it will do just fine.
