Care Notes from the Greenhouse
- Light: Bright, indirect light keeps Anthurium Fingers looking its best, but it can tolerate medium indirect light. In lower light it grows more slowly. Avoid harsh direct sun, which can scorch the leaves.
- Watering: Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry — it likes to dry out a bit between waterings rather than stay soggy. Empty any saucer so the roots don't sit in water.
- Humidity: Loves higher humidity as a tropical aroid, but adapts to normal household humidity; extra humidity supports lush, healthy growth.
- Temperature: Typical room temperatures (roughly 65–85°F). Keep it away from cold drafts and heating or AC vents.
- Soil: A chunky, well-draining aroid mix (potting soil with bark and perlite) in a pot with drainage.
- Habit: Grows upright into a full, bushy plant — no moss pole needed; rotate it now and then for even, balanced growth.
- Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced houseplant fertilizer in spring and summer; pause in winter.
- Pruning: Trim to shape anytime; stem cuttings with a node root easily in water.
- Care tip: If lower leaves yellow or it looks sparse, check that it isn't overwatered and give it bright, indirect light.
Best Display Spots

Botanical Exhibit Notes
- It's a self-heading tropical aroid (family Araceae) — it grows upright into a full, bushy plant rather than climbing.

- In good light it grows quickly through the warm months, pushing out fresh leaves.
- It grows from a central crown, filling out into a lush, leafy mound over time.
From Our Greenhouse to Your Home
Florida Plant ships across the continental U.S. Your plant ships from Florida and California, USA, carefully packed in its nursery pot with soil unless noted. Orders dispatch within 1–4 business days, early in the week so plants don't sit over a weekend in transit.
During cold weather, orders to colder areas are sent with a heat pack, and we may hold delivery to very cold areas until it's safe to ship. Every plant is backed by our 48-hour live-arrival guarantee — contact us within 48 hours of delivery with photos if there's an issue.
Because this is a live plant, each one is unique — size, fullness, color, and shape vary naturally, and minor cosmetic imperfections can happen. Give your plant a little time to settle in after it arrives.
