Anthurium 'Red Hot' Not Blooming: Light and Watering Fixes

Problem

Anthurium in windowless office under UV light, watered occasionally with bottled water. Few leaves, no flowers.

Diagnosis

UV light is useless for photosynthesis. Anthuriums need bright indirect natural light (north/east window) or close fluorescent light to bloom.

Correct Care

• Move to bright indirect light.
• Keep in small pot; water when top half-inch dry.
• Fertilize monthly at half strength.
• Use bottled or filtered water.
