Caring for Your ‘Gigi’:

💧 Watering: Keep the soil lightly moist, but never let it sit in water—well-draining soil is a must.
🌿 Humidity: Thrives in high humidity (70%+), so a humidifier or regular misting will keep it happy.
🌱 Growth: A slow to moderate grower, but each new leaf is an event—expect them to get bigger and more dramatic over time.
✂️ Pruning: Just remove older leaves as needed to keep it looking pristine.

The following aroid mix I would like to share with you is working well for my Anthurium:
- Potting Soil (30%)
- Orchid Bark (30%)
- Perlite (20%)
- Charcoal (5%)
- Worm Castings (15%)
Water thoroughly when watering to mimic tropical jungle conditions. It is best practice to keep the soil humid but never soggy.
