Hi Stephanie, your lovely tropical Anthurium likes average warmth but a bit cooler in winter to 60 degrees with bright light near a window. It likes water every few days to keep soil constantly moist. Mist the leaves often to keep humidity high. Repot every two years and fertilize when you repot with some slow release Osmocote mixed into the soil.  This is not an easy houseplant as most homes are too dry but if you mist it or let is sit in steam from a bathroom you can keep it happy. Enjoy the challenge. Keep growing, Marianne Binetti
