Water: Anthurium wendlingeri thrives in a humid environment and requires careful watering: twice a week in summer (0.5 glass) and once a week in winter (just under 0.5 glass). Use rain or distilled water, and monitor for signs of underwatering or overwatering for optimal growth.

Fertilize: Anthurium wendlingeri should be fertilized every three to four months, particularly in early spring during repotting, using slow-release fertilizer mixed with the medium. Liquid fertilizer is suitable at other times, avoiding winter. Over-fertilization can cause yellowing leaves; phosphorus fertilizers encourage flowering.

Pruning: Prune any yellowing or dying flowers or leaves from anthurium wendlingeri promptly to prevent nutrient depletion and encourage the growth of new foliage and blooms.
