Since my previous question about the plant at my office is so well received, I thought it would be nice to get some information about another plant at my office.

A picture of my plant can be seen below.

So, by that, I have the same questions from my previous:

  • What's the name of this plant?
  • What is the best way to take care of this plant?

This plant is an Anthurium, a member of the aroid family, who are identified by the flower structure of the spathe and spadix.

  • high intensity filtered light, not direct. If it doesn't flower then the light levels are too low
  • a free draining soil such as peat moss, perlite and pine bark
  • water thoroughly and let dry
  • underwatering or low humidity levels will give brown tips to the leaves
  • fertilize at half strength every other month with a flowering plant fertilizer. Something like 15-30-15.
  • pests: scale and mealy bug are possible, thrip have been seen but are uncommon in a house or office
