Anthurium red crystallinum requires bright, indirect light to thrive, avoiding direct sunlight which can scorch its leaves. Maintain consistently moist soil, allowing the top inch to dry out between waterings, and ensure the pot has good drainage to prevent root rot. This plant prefers high humidity levels, ideally above 60%, so misting regularly or using a humidifier can be beneficial. Keep temperatures between 18-27°C, avoiding cold drafts or sudden temperature changes. Fertilise monthly during the growing season with a balanced, water-soluble fertiliser diluted to half strength, and repot every 1-2 years to refresh the soil and accommodate growth.
