Plant Mood Meter: Needs a Little Love
Its thick foliage is sturdy, but bird's-nest Anthuriums still need an airy root zone and can decline in dense wet soil.

Bright indirect light. Direct sun: Avoid prolonged harsh direct sun.
Water after the upper layer begins drying; keep the root zone evenly aerated rather than constantly wet.
Chunky aroid/epiphytic mix with bark and mineral aeration.
