Getting back to the point, there are yet some other tips to be followed as well for growing Anthurium flowers or Anthurium lilies.

When it is Anthurium lilies that you are growing, remember that they generally grow to a height of 2 feet and 1 foot wide. That is why the planting pots have to be purchased accordingly.
Once the pot is in place, the Anthurium lily is to be placed nicely and the roots covered with soil. If it not a small Anthurium plant but seeds of the same that you are planting, then make sure that the seeds are not put very deep into the soil. Sufficient amount of light and heat should reach it to help it grow. Once the planting is over, sprinkle enough water to soak the soil completely. The Anthurium lilies should be given sunlight but not directly. Partial sunlight works best for the growth of the plant. Adding proper and timely fertilizer will ensure that the plant will grow nicely.
