Anthurium besseae aff seedling

Anthurium besseae aff (seedling) Culture:

Cultivating a young Anthurium besseae aff. requires extra care, focusing on:

• Light: Gentle, bright, indirect light is crucial. Avoid strong direct sunlight, which can easily burn delicate young leaves.
• Temperature: Maintain consistent warmth. Ideal temperatures are between 20°C and 30°C (68°F and 86°F). Avoid sudden temperature fluctuations.
• Humidity: Very high humidity is essential for young plants. Consider using a humidity chamber, terrarium, or frequent misting.
• Watering:Keep the substrate consistently moist, but never soggy. Young roots are very susceptible to rot. Ensure excellent drainage. Use very soft water, like rain water, or reverse osmosis water.
• Substrate: A very light, airy, and well-draining mix is critical. Use a blend of fine orchid bark, perlite, sphagnum moss, and possibly some coco coir.

Important Considerations:

• Juvenile Anthuriums are more vulnerable to environmental stress.
• Consistent care is vital to ensure healthy growth.
• Be patient; it takes time for young plants to mature and display their full characteristics.
