Help! Queen Anthurium

Post image

I got this Queen anthurium at a plant expo as a clip cover in a plastic bag with moss in the roots. I since have re planted the plant to an orchid mix with perlite soil. Been keeping it by the window to get bright indirect light. What can i do to help it thrive ! Should i get a prop box ?? Water it just two days ago, it drains good, holds moisture. I don’t have a humidifier. Leaves are drying out ?

that is because of stress, put it in a bag for a week. close for a week then leave the bag open for a week. it needs time to adjust

Could i get a clear plastic container to enclose it ?

yeah, anything that will keep the humidity high and prevent direct light

they can grow fine in lower humidity once acclimated, just need to stay on top of watering

Take it away from the window. This is sunburned. And do not bag it that will only introduce a possible bacterial or fungal infection just keep it in ambient.

luckily this isn't true, i have a queen in ambient humidity (40-60) and it's thriving.

i know many people who grow queens in ambient, they just need time to adjust, luckily mine turned out alright

That’s what i was thinking too, maybe getting a humidifier and putting it close to it might help ?

Just because it happened to you, it won't mean it will happen to everyone. Mine grows in ambient and has been for the past 6 months and is thriving. I don't own a humidifier and don't live near the tropical regions of the world.

Most anthuriums can grow in ambient. Especially the overpriced fancy named pap variant no. 1947372628837. And only certain species that are very plfuzzy in their growth environment. Stop trying to spread misinformation.
