Anthurium Radicans
The plant seen in the photo is the plant you will get when purchasing from this listing
The plant
Anthurium Radicans is such a cool plant!
We always thought we were about those velvety suede heart shaped leaves but then this guy rocks up and changes our minds!
This leaf texture is so unusual, imagine corrugated leather, it's kind of like that!
Very very interesting Anthurium and also has a gorgeous pink stem! What's not to love?!
The care
This Anthurium, like most, love a chunky airy soil.
It loves high humidity, between 60%-90% is ideal!
Anthuriums love having a good soaking when it comes to watering, but they don't like their roots to stay wet so make sure that soil is well draining and has lots of additives to it to make it airy and light.
The soil
The soil our plants arrive to you in has been specifically created for them!
We mix all of our soil and therefore you do not need to worry about repotting for a good while.
We certainly do not recommend repotting straight away, your new plant needs time to arrive and settle into your home, its new environment. Repotting straight away can cause a great deal of stress to the plant, please wait at least two weeks after arrival before repotting your plant.
The pot
All of our plants arrive in eco friendly plant pots.
We currenlty use two different types of pots, your plant will arrival in either a coco coir pot or a rice husk pot.
Both pots are biodegradable and can be reused. Once the pot has reached the end of its life they can be put into your compost bin!
How long have we had this plant?
Here at Perky Plants, we want to be open and honest about how long our plants are with us before they move on.
We keep all of our plants for atleast 4 weeks after they arrive with us.
This gives the plant time to settle into life in the UK, to settle into its new pot and substrate, to acclimate to a similar environment it will be in once it arrives with you.
Some plants hang out here with us for longer than 4 weeks, if a plant isnt ready to move on we're not going list it on our site!
This Anthurium Radicans has been with us for 6 weeks and we believe it is ready to go off and start settling into its new home with you!
