The Anthurium is a beautiful flower that is believed to bring happiness and prosperity to the home. It is therefore not surprising that many strive to grow it at home. But getting a lush bloom is not as easy as it seems at first glance.
The Anthurium is a tropical plant that requires specific conditions for its successful growth.
How to maintain the anturio correctly?
Regulation of irrigation
The main mistake made by the owners of anthurium is excessive irrigation. Excessive moisture can lead to the death of the plant. It is important to let the soil dry from 2 to 4 cm between one watering and the other depending on the size of the pot.
Lighting and lighting
Anthuriums need sufficient light, at least 10 hours a day. The ideal location for the pot is a window to the east or west where the plant will receive morning or evening light. The north window is not suitable for flowering, but is suitable for growing a lush bush.
Choosing a pot
The success of the grow of the anturio depends largely on the size of the pot. In a pot too spacious, the plant will overextly extend its root system, affecting flowering and leaf size. If the leaves start to err, this could be a signal to replant due to root rot.
Selection of the substrate
Being epiphytic, the anturium grows naturally on other plants, so it does not need black and dense soil. The substrate must be dissolved, dry quickly, while retaining moisture. The ideal option is a mixture of soil and pine bark.
Vinaigrette
The Anthurium requires a careful approach to fertilization, as it is an epiphyte and does not require much fertilizer. It is recommended to halve the recommended dose of fertilizer by buying products from the same manufacturer with soil.
