We, as plant parents, may already know what kind of pot we want to use for our plants. “It’s so adorable! It fits in with our decor.” Guess what? Our plant is not happy about it. Anthuriums need a pot that can easily drain. They do not like wet soil, as we have already explained. You might want to repot your mini Anthurium before it’s too late if your pot is thick-walled, does not have drainage holes, or seems to hold water.
Frequently Asked Questions About Anthuriums
How do you keep anthurium blooming?
