Water
This Anthurium requires consistently moist but well-draining soil. Water it thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch, and ensure the pot has drainage to prevent waterlogging. Allowing excess water to drain out helps prevent root issues, which are common if the plant is left in overly wet soil.
Light

Humidity
High humidity is essential for Anthurium gustavii aff., with levels around 70-80% being ideal. If your home is drier, you may want to place a humidifier nearby, mist the plant occasionally, or set it on a pebble tray to raise local humidity, particularly during colder, drier months.
Temperature
This plant prefers temperatures between 18-26°C, making it well-suited to average indoor conditions. Avoid letting temperatures fall below 15°C, as this can hinder growth. Additionally, keeping the plant away from direct drafts or heating vents will help maintain a stable environment.
