Watering Anthuriums: How Often and How Much

Watering Frequency

Anthuriums have fleshy roots that rot easily. Water only when topsoil is dry to the touch—about once a week. Give a thorough watering, then wait until dry again.

Signs of Underwatering

Leaf tips yellow if too dry.

Root-Bound Benefits

Slightly root-bound plants actually benefit: the container retains less water, reducing rot risk. Anthuriums tolerate being root-bound well.
