How to keep Anthurium Cupulispathum.
Light
Anthurium cupulispathum originates from habitats like forest understories or rocky areas, where it grows in natural shade. It prefers partial sun but can tolerate full sun or full shade, demonstrating its adaptable and hardy nature.
Temperature
Anthurium cupulispathum comes from tropical areas where the climate is typically warm and humid. Consequently, it is adapted to high temperatures and humidity. It does not like abrupt temperature changes and prefers a steady thermal environment, so avoiding temperature fluctuations indoors is important. It generally cannot tolerate cold conditions and needs warmer temperatures to grow. If the ambient temperature drops too low, the plant may stop growing or even die.
