Anthuriums like to be fed regularly, and in the spring you should feed them a thorough soaking with a balanced liquid fertilizer. When repotting your anthurium, do so in early spring-late March, when new leaves are emerging.
Anthuriums bloom on new growth, so ensure that new growth starts in an open area. This can be achieved by repotting below the soil the old pot is in, or by growing the plant in a large pot.

Anthuriums are poisonous if eaten.
