1. Bright Indirect Sunlight and Proper Location

Anthurium weberbaueri grows naturally in the shadow or under trees. Therefore, you’ll want to mimic it with bright indirect light to medium light.

Therefore, the amount of light and the duration you expose your plant are both crucial. This plays a key role in establishing correct leaf coloring.

To keep your Anthurium weberbaueri out of direct sunlight, place it near a south-facing window with transparent curtains.

Anthurium weberbaueri can attain its maximum foliage growth in the spring and summer. For this, you’ll need to ensure it receives plenty of sunlight.

Additionally, the plant benefits from as least 8 hours of indirect or diffused sunlight.

Furthermore, if not given enough light and positioned correctly, your weberbaueri may have early foliage fall.

Signs of Low Light	Signs of Extreme Light
It causes stunted, leggy, and dull growth.	It causes a high transpiration rate, and leaves start to curl.
Leaves appear bleached, yellow, disclosed, and smaller in size.	Extreme heat breakdowns the chlorophyll, so the leaves appear pale or discolored.
Low chlorophyll leads to less pigmented leaves.	Burning of leaf and leaf scorch.

Tips to Provide Adequate Sunlight to Anthurium Weberbaueri

• In summers, arrange transparent drapes in front of the window to protect your plant from direct sunlight.
• Provide your plant as much diffused light as possible without burning it, keep it 5 to 8 feet away from the window.
• In the winter, place it near an east-facing window where it will get direct morning sunlight.
• Rotate your plant once a week to ensure that sunlight is even throughout its leaves.
• In the winter, choosing a brightly lighted location, such as a patio, entrance, or east-facing window that receives early morning sunlight, is best.

Pro Tip! Use LED grow lights and fluorescent tubes in winter BUT keep the grow light 12-24 inches away from the plant so that the light can diffuse equally and evenly.

2. Moderate Watering

Anthurium weberbaueri requires more water than usual throughout the summer and spring.

This is because it proliferates, and the temperature is scorching.

If 40 percent of the soil dries out throughout the summer and spring seasons, make sure to water your plant thoroughly and regularly once or twice a week.

Depending on the season, Anthurium weberbaueri will require more or less water.

You can either slow or cut off waterings in the winter season.

Whether you have overwatered or underwatered your plant, your plant will display symptoms.

Overwatered Plant	Underwatered Plant
Yellowing, limping, and droopy foliage	Wilted and crispy leaves
Decayed lower roots	Brown leaf edges
Slowed plant growth	Curled and browned leaves
Root Rot	Stunted foliage growth

Tips to water Anthurium Weberbaueri Correctly

• When the upper 2-3 inches of topsoil dries out, water your Anthurium Weberbaueri.
• You can use a friendly moisture meter to check if the topsoil is dry before each watering.
• You must water the plant until the water drains out of the draining holes in your pot.
• Watering from the foliage or misting too much puts your plant susceptible to fungus.
• You can use a self-watering system to maintain the proper watering method.
• It’s preferable to water your plant with lukewarm or room temperature water.

Tip: You can use the stick method to prevent watering issues – take a dry stick and insert it 2-3 inches deep in the soil. If it comes dry, the soil lacks moisture and needs watering.

Your plant won’t have any watering problems if you follow the measures mentioned above after observing the symptoms.

• Wrap your plant in a frost blanket or a plastic bag if the temperature drops too low to avoid chilly stress.
• To maintain optimum temperature and avoid cold stress, lay a heating pad under the pot.

• If the weather is high and the leaves are prone to wilting, misting can aid. To avoid plant burn, mist early in the morning.
• Further, a layer of pine mulch on top of the soil can help retain the heat as a home treatment.
• Using a mini greenhouse or terrarium in the winter, you may avoid cold stress for your plants.

Maintain a good air circulation, especially during the spring and summer seasons, to ensure your plant’s healthy growth.

4. Moderate Humidity

Anthuriums thrive in moist conditions. As a result, a stable humid climate will be sufficient to keep your weberbaueri content.

This plant does not like excessively humid or dry conditions, which may cause its leaves to droop and eventually fall off.

Anthurium weberbaueri enjoys a humidity level of 40 to 60%.

Nonetheless, this range demonstrates that the plant is also not fond of very low humidity.

As a result, avoid using air conditioning, vents, or heaters, which can dry out the leaves and cause harm.

If the humidity fluctuates frequently, you should use extreme caution. Your plant could display a few distinct signs.

Signs of Low Humidity	Signs of High Humidity
Shriveling of leaves	Mold or mildew growth on the plant
Leaves turning brown and crispy	Infections with fungi
Leaves and stalks show wilting	Patches of grey mold
Yellow leaves may begin to fall	Excessive humidity can show Growth of mold on the pot and potting soil as well

Follow the instructions below to maintain the humidity if you observe any signs or symptoms.

Tips to Maintain Humidity for Anthurium Weberbaueri

• You may boost the humidity in your room with a humidifier, and you can monitor it using a hygrometer.
• Simply place a pebble tray with water underneath your leaf.
• If you notice indicators of low humidity, think about misting the leaves.
• Proper room ventilation can help any excess moisture escape by circulating the air.
• In the winter, relocate your plant to rooms with greater humidity levels in your house, such as the kitchen or the bathroom.

Note: The longer moisture stays on the leaf’s surface, the greater the chance of bacterial and fungal growth.

5. Well-draining Potting Soil

Your Anthurium weberbaueri will remain in a specific potting mix until you repot them. So, it is crucial to achieve the ideal consistency.

Anthurium weberbaueri grows best in well-draining, aerated soil with a neutral pH (5.5-6.5).

For Anthurium Weberbaueri, make a well-draining organic soil with 20% perlite and 80% regular proprietary houseplant compost mix.

Cactus soil mixed with peat moss and perlite, on the other hand, might work well.

These mixtures naturally have a neutral or slightly acidic feel that lets your plant grow well.

Note: You must be careful when making the potting mix to avoid excessive water retention and possible root rot.

Further, you can also try making a potting mix by combining the ingredients below.

• One part of perlite or pumice
• One part of cacti and succulent mix
• 1/3 part of cocopeat or peat moss
• And 1/3 part of organic compost (Worm casting, animal manure, chicken litter, etc.)

However, if you are fond of commercially ready-made potting soil or even if you are a new plant parent, we are here to help you.

Here are some of the recommendations.

• Take the plant out of the pot thoroughly.
• Remove any soil surrounding the roots. Then look for offshoots in your weberbaueri.
• Unless the plant has a few roots and leaves, you can grab as many as you want for propagation.
• Ensure that there are no infestations of disease or pests on the offset.

• Now detach the offset from the mother weberbaueri plant’s roots.
• Use a sharp sterilized knife to follow the separation process.
• The offset is now ready for propagation. You can now plant them directly in the soil.

Quick Tip! Adding rooting hormones can enhance the plant’s growth.

2. Propagation of Anthurium Weberbaueri via Stem Cuttings

When the plant is actively growing, you can start taking stem cuttings in the spring or early summer.

Step 1: Prepare the Stem Cutting

As easy as it may sound, cutting the stem for propagation is not an easy job.

• First, use ethanol or 70% isopropyl alcohol to disinfect your pruning shears.
• Choose a healthy green stem with at least one leaf that appears healthy.
• Cut the stem slightly below the bottom leaf node using the pruning shear.
• Prepare multiple stem cuttings if your mother plant is bushy. However, make sure each cutting contains at least one node.
• For each cutting, make an incision at an angle of 45 degrees.
• Remove any remaining leaves, leaving only one or two on the stem.

Step 2: Choose the Propagation Medium

You have two different mediums, soil, and water, for rooting your weberbaueri.

Propagating in Water Medium

Another popular propagation technique is rooting in a water media, generally known as hydroponics.

• Pour chlorine-free filtered water into a clean, transparent jar.
• Infuse the water with liquid rooting hormone or apply rooting hormone powder to the wound.
• Place the cutting in the water somewhere warm with plenty of indirect sunlight.
• Do not forget to change the water every 4-7 days.
• Allow 2-3 weeks for new plant roots to appear. Wait a few weeks for fresh leaves to emerge on the stalks.

You can transplant the plant to a pot in soil medium once the root reaches 3-4 inches.

Propagating in Soil Medium

• Allowing the stem cutting to stay idle for an extended period is not beneficial.
• Begin by combining rooting hormone and antifungal agent to avoid fungus infestation.
• Gently apply the mixture to the cut ends. Alternatively, cinnamon powder can also help to protect from infection.
• Plant the stem cutting in the potting mix mentioned above in the soil mix section.
• Later, water your plant thoroughly and position it in a spot that receives indirect light for speedy growth.

3. Propagation of Anthurium Weberbaueri via Seeds Germination
