DocBlock Anthurium Michelle

This plant prefers bright, indirect light. Place it near a window with sheer curtains or in a spot where it receives plenty of ambient brightness without direct sun, which can scorch its delicate, velvety leaves.

No, the Anthurium Michelle is not pet-friendly. Like many other aroids, it contains calcium oxalate crystals that can cause irritation if ingested by pets.

To keep this Anthurium happy, aim for a humidity level above 60%. You can achieve this by placing it in a greenhouse cabinet, using a dedicated humidifier nearby, or grouping it with other humidity-loving plants.

You should use a chunky, well-draining substrate like the RPF Soil Mix to ensure the roots get enough oxygen. Only repot when the plant becomes root-bound, as Anthuriums generally prefer a snug fit in their pots.

The red coloration is a temporary phase for emergent leaves. As the foliage matures and hardens off, it naturally transitions into its permanent deep green color.

The new leaves are quite tender and susceptible to bruising. It is best to avoid touching or moving the plant while a new leaf is unfurling to ensure it develops without cosmetic damage.
