hi guys and in this video, I'm going to discuss how to care for your Anthurium
Clarinervium plant. So this is my Anthurium Clarinervium plant it's the one that I had my first
video I think and to me this really beautiful plant, I know I've said this
before but the leaves are so nice and velvety this plant
I keep in indirect light I try to keep it away from direct sunlight
because I have a feeling that these leaves easily scorch in the sun so I'd say it
gets medium to bright light but like no direct sunlight because if you
consider their how this plant grows in the wild it grows as an epiphyte so it would
grow in the shade of trees and other plants but still get bright light
because it would be in the branches of trees and not on the floors forest
Anthuriums generally like to be kept fairly damp, but I do let the soil dry
out like an inch in between waterings the temperature for these plants would
be between 18 and 25 degrees Celsius and that is the temperature of the average
home and what I've discovered with plants in general and this has
nothing to do with Anthuriums (specifically) is that if they are a drier
the plant can tolerate lower temperatures because you don't want the
plant to be cold and soggy at the same time
yeah so if it's dry it will probably be able to tolerate lower
temperatures. Anthuriums are from the tropics so as a result, they do like high
humidity and to increase humidity you can either spray the plant with
with a bottle of water you could you can run a humidifier
that's what I do I just keep a humidifier in here it's on almost all the time and
another trick I discovered is when you do your laundry you can hang it in the
same room as your plants as the water evaporates and dries your plants would
give the moisture in the air and that'll really increase humidity around your plant.
Pests and disease I haven't really found that the Anthurium Clarinervium type with
it's more soft and velvety leaves have had any insects so far I think that
it could be a deterrent for insects but my other Anthuriums have had scale
insects and with scale insects all I do is I use my trusty bottle of surgical
alcohol and you spray it on them and they dry out as the alcohol evaporates
so it just completely kills them so now I'm going to actually repot my Anthurium
therm and now that I promise to see you guys in the face video and has taken
quite a long time but we're gonna do it today so a little
pot and you can see that this pot is just a little bit larger than the ones
currently, in so it will be that the next size up and the potting medium going to
use is a mixture of coco coir and as well as some perlite and some normal
potting soil but because Anthuriums are epiphytes I am gonna put in some orchid
bark chips and this will just give some added aeration and get more air around
the roots so you can just add in doesn't matter how much
there I think this looks like a nice mix now. So all I'm going to do is just
take this out of the pot you can see the plant has pushed itself out of
the pot as it has grown. You tease out the roots and look how nice and healthy these roots are.
So I usually start by just putting a little bit of the mixture in the
bottom and you put the plant in and press it down and now I fill in around your plant and
you can push it down with your finger making sure to fill any air pockets
I'm really impressed by how healthy the root system is since I've
bought this one I actually wanted to get a second plant
because this plant is really one of my absolute all-time favorites because it's
easy to grow and also because of the beautiful foliage I just add some more around
the top
So now let me just move this to the side. I'm just going to give
this a little bit of water so it can settle into the pot and just the roots can get over
the shock of being transplanted. So just dabbled a little bit across the surface
of the potting medium and that would just get plant settled into the
new mixture and reduce the shock factor yeah so I hope that you guys enjoyed this
video and please feel free to subscribe and like
