Easy to care for and endlessly cheerful, Anthurium 'Melito' is a wonderful choice for both new plant parents and seasoned collectors.
Plant Care
Light: Bright indirect light is ideal. Avoid direct afternoon or evening sun, which can scorch leaves and fade the colour. Lower light = fewer blooms.
Watering: Let the top few centimetres of soil dry out between waterings.
Temperature: Thrives in 18–26°C. Keep it warm, consistent, and away from cold drafts or dry air.
Potting: Our Airy Aroid mix is perfect light, chunky, and moisture-balanced to keep roots healthy and blooms coming.
Hot tips: Wipe leaves gently to keep them glossy. Feed monthly during spring and summer with a bloom-boosting fertiliser. Long-lasting blooms make it ideal for gifting or brightening dull corners.
Pet Friendly: No
