How to care for Anthurium to make it more vigorous

Anthurium Growing Conditions

Anthurium prefers warm, humid, well-ventilated, semi-shady environment. It cannot tolerate strong sunlight exposure. The suitable growth temperature is 26 to 32 degrees during the day and 21 to 32 degrees at night. The highest temperature it can tolerate is 35 degrees and the lowest temperature it can tolerate is 14 degrees. It is advisable to use a well-drained, loose and fertile substrate for potted anthurium.

How to grow Anthurium

The best maintenance temperature for Anthurium is between 15-35℃, and the temperature difference between day and night should be within 3-6 degrees. Watering should be done when the soil is dry and there should be no accumulation of water. Fertilizer should be applied once every half a month during the growing period, and branches and leaves should be pruned in time to reduce nutrient consumption. The air humidity should be around 70%, and there should be sufficient scattered light.

Watering Anthurium

Anthurium likes a humid environment. Generally, when the soil is dry, you can water it thoroughly. Do not water it halfway. If the temperature is low, control the watering. If the temperature is slightly higher, you can increase watering.

Fertilizing Anthurium

Anthurium is a plant that likes fertilizer. During the vigorous growing season, it is enough to use nutrient solution or diluted flower fertilizer once every half a month. Pay attention to applying thin fertilizers frequently and do not use concentrated fertilizers.

Anthurium pest control

Anthurium is prone to bacterial wilt. The temperature must be controlled during the growth period, preferably below 30 degrees. Weeding should be done in time, dead branches and leaves should be trimmed, and ventilation should be ensured. Commonly used agents include chlorothalonil, carbendazim, and mancozeb, which can be diluted with clean water and sprayed on the plants.

How to grow Anthurium at home

1. Soil: Use ceramic pots to grow anthurium as much as possible, because compared with plastic products, its air permeability is better, not to mention its drainage is also better. Then you can add some garden soil or soil into it. It is best to add some leaf mold, perlite, etc. Remember to mix evenly before use.

2. Water: Anthurium prefers a more humid environment than a dry one, so water must not be less, but the amount must be controlled. Just keep it slightly moist. In the dry season, you can spray some water to help it cool down.

3. Light: Anthurium likes an environment with plenty of sunlight, but cannot tolerate direct sunlight. Therefore, in summer, it needs to be properly shaded, or the plant needs to be moved to a cool and ventilated place for maintenance for a while, and can be placed in a well-lit place indoors on a daily basis.

Anthurium maintenance precautions

Anthurium cannot tolerate low temperature environments and will be frostbitten if the temperature is below 10 degrees in winter, so you must take measures to keep warm. In addition, it is sensitive to light, cannot tolerate direct sunlight, and has poor adaptability to light, so it is best to maintain it in diffuse light.
