How often should I water the anthurium?

Anthurium requires a lot of water during the maintenance period, especially in the later stage of the plant's growth, when the water demand is extremely high. Generally, the principle of watering should be followed: watering when the plant is dry and thoroughly moistened.

Anthurium generally needs to be watered every 2-3 days, but the specific frequency of watering depends on the growth stage of the plant and climatic conditions.

1. Watering in spring

Anthurium grows faster in spring and generally needs to be watered every 3-4 days. If the weather is hot, it can be watered every 2-3 days.

2. Watering in summer

The temperature is high in summer, so it needs to be watered once every 1-2 days. When the temperature is too high at noon, water should be sprayed around frequently to keep it moist.

3. Watering in autumn

In autumn, like in spring, the climate is relatively mild and the plants grow faster. You can water them every 3-4 days and keep the soil in the pot slightly moist.

4. Watering in winter

The growth of Anthurium slows down in winter, so the amount of watering needs to be controlled. Generally, it is sufficient to water it once every 7 days or so. The water temperature should be controlled at around 15℃ to avoid frostbite on the roots.

What kind of water is good for Anthurium

1. Tap water

The most common way to water Anthurium is to use tap water at home. Before using tap water, it needs to be exposed to the sun for a day to avoid adverse effects on the plant.
