Soil Type

Water: Originating from moderate climates, anthericum thrives in evenly moist soil, requiring weekly watering. It prefers a well-draining soil mix to prevent waterlogging, ensuring healthy roots. Anthericum maintains balanced water habits without needing frequent watering or being extremely drought-tolerant.

Propagation: To propagate anthericum, use division or seed sowing. Provide bright light, 15-20°C (59-68°F), and well-draining soil. Avoid waterlogging and handle carefully during division. For division, dig up the plant, separate sections with roots, replant at the same depth, and water moderately. Sow seeds in spring.
