The Anthurium Radicans x Luxurians is a beautiful hybrid aroid prized for its large, textured, and often bullate (bumpy) leaves that emerge with a hint of pink or bronze and mature to a deep, rich green. This hybrid is often considered a great choice for beginner Anthurium enthusiasts because it is relatively forgiving and well-suited for indoor growing.

Here’s a breakdown of Anthurium Radicans x Luxurians’s care requirements:

Light

Bright, indirect light is ideal. This plant thrives in a bright location but should be protected from direct sunlight, which can scorch its leaves.
An east-facing window is often a good choice, as is a south-facing window with a sheer curtain or some other form of filtered light.
If you don’t have a window that provides adequate light, you can supplement with a grow light.

Watering

Water when the top of the soil is dry. The key is to allow the soil to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot, which Anthuriums are prone to.
A good method is to check the top quarter of the soil with your finger; if it’s dry, it’s time to water.
Water thoroughly until water drains from the bottom of the pot, and then make sure to empty any excess water from the saucer.

Humidity

Anthurium Radicans x Luxurians appreciates higher humidity. While it can tolerate average household humidity, it will thrive in environments with 60% or higher humidity.
If your home is on the drier side, you can increase humidity by using a humidifier, placing the plant on a pebble tray with water, or grouping it with other plants.
Crispy leaf edges are often a sign of low humidity.

Soil and Potting

Use a chunky, well-draining, and aerated soil mix. As an epiphytic plant, it needs plenty of air circulation around its roots.
A good mix can include a combination of potting soil, perlite, orchid bark, and/or sphagnum moss.
Always use a pot with drainage holes to prevent the plant from sitting in excess water.

Temperature

This plant prefers warm temperatures. Aim for a temperature range of 65°F to 85°F (17°C to 29°C).
Avoid placing it near drafts or vents that can cause sudden temperature fluctuations.

Fertilizing

Fertilize during the growing season (spring and summer). You can use a balanced liquid fertilizer, diluted to a quarter strength, every few weeks.
Alternatively, a slow-release fertilizer can be applied every 3-6 months.
Reduce or stop fertilizing in the fall and winter when the plant’s growth slows down.

Other Tips

This hybrid’s parentage from Anthurium radicans means it will appreciate a support to climb on as it matures, such as a moss pole.
The sap of Anthuriums can be irritating to the skin and is toxic if ingested, so keep it away from pets and small children.
