# Got my first anthuriums today! I was wondering how far they should be…

_Posted by McKenzie on 2026-03-22_

Got my first anthuriums today! I was wondering how far they should be from my grow light. Currently all 4 are in 1 inch pots. I’ve got a regal hybrid, magnificum, crystallinum, and warocqueanum. They are in my bathroom currently and I’ve ordered a humidifier that should be here in a few days.

The lights are 60 Inch, 24W 192 LED Full Spectrum. I currently have it on 5/9 intensity and they are about 14 inches away. Any advice would help, thanks!

Personally, my anthuriums (radican x luxurian, forgettii, pterodactyl and magnificum) are all roughly 6” away from light but mine are 12W.  
I had some get right at the light by accident with virtually not visible damage (unless they touch it)  
Also, if you need to increase humidity while you are waiting on your humidifier, you can put them in transparent plastic bags. I love this trick because it allows you to keep the light optimal even with less ideal humidity since it is very mobile. I often use that in a pinch when I need to isolate a high humidity plant such as anthurium and alocasias ☺️
