Growing Anthurium andraeanum hybrids, often sold as mixed varieties, involves providing care that combines the preferences of different Anthuriums. Here’s a general guide to help you grow Anthurium andraeanum hybrids successfully:

1. Light: Provide bright, indirect light. These hybrids typically prefer well-lit conditions but avoid direct sunlight to prevent leaf burn. Adjust the lighting based on the specific varieties included in the mix.

2. Temperature: Maintain a warm environment with temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C).
Shield the plant from drafts and sudden temperature changes.

3. Humidity: Anthuriums appreciate high humidity. Increase humidity by misting the leaves regularly, using a humidity tray, or placing a humidifier nearby. Adjust the humidity levels based on the needs of the included varieties.

4. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top inch of the soil feels slightly dry. Ensure proper drainage to prevent overwatering issues.

5. Soil: Use a well-draining, peat-based potting mix with added perlite or orchid bark for aeration. Customize the mix based on the specific needs of the Anthurium varieties included.

6. Fertilizing: Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer formulated for flowering plants, diluted to half-strength, every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Adjust the fertilization schedule based on the requirements of the different Anthurium hybrids.

7. Potting: Repot Anthuriums when the plants outgrow their current containers or if the soil becomes compacted. This is typically needed every 1-2 years. Use fresh potting mix during repotting and inspect the roots for any signs of issues.

8. Pruning: Trim yellow or damaged leaves regularly. Remove any unwanted shoots to maintain the desired shape.

9. Support: Provide stakes or a support structure for the plant as it grows, especially if the hybrids develop larger leaves.

10. Pest Control: Keep an eye out for pests such as spider mites and scale insects. Treat promptly if an infestation occurs. Inspect the undersides of leaves regularly for pests.

Remember that Anthurium hybrids can vary in their specific needs, so it’s essential to observe each plant closely and adjust care accordingly. Additionally, some hybrids might be more tolerant of certain conditions than others, so be attentive to individual preferences within the mixed collection.
