How to Care for the Plant

Fertilizer
To help establish your new Water Dragon Anthurium, fertilize sparingly at least 6 inches away from the base, tri-annually with a slow time released product. Unfertilized they will tend to grow very slowly. Note: The heavy salts in cheaper fertilizers will damage the roots and possibly kill the plant.
Sunlight
This Anthurium requires 70-85% sunlight. Depending on your location filtered sun is best
