How to Care for the Plant

Water
Anthurium Amnicola care consists of keeping a high humidity level between 70% to 80%. Water the plant regularly about twice a week in the growing season to allow for an even soil moisture using a well-draining potting mix using peat, perlite, and bark.
Fertilizer
Tulip Anthurium has its nutrition needs for optimum growth. But once the potting mix is well enriched with organic content, this really is the best form of feeding for this plant. In my experience, Anthurium Amnicola care needs little extra feeding. Less is more. You may however use a well-balanced Orchid fertilizer to improve the flowering. Another option is to go for liquid fish fertilizer. Basically, one that is rich in phosphorus, like a 5-10-5 works well to grow Anthurium Amnicola. You should dilute the fertilizer down to a quarter of the Rx strength and use it about twice a month. Potential salt build-up from cheap chemical fertilizers can damage your plant, so you should regularly flush the entire root ball with thorough and deep watering. Encourage your Anthurium Amnicola to bloom with diluted phosphorus-rich fertilizer like a good orchid fertilizer. Once a bloom cycle is completed move it to a shadier spot for about six weeks and also reduce watering a little. After the rets period bring it back to bright light and regular watering. This too can trick the plant into flowering again.
Sunlight
Anthurium amnicola does best in bright, indirect sunlight for example on a window ledge next to a window. It will not flower if it does not have enough light.
