What soil should be used for growing Anthurium

1. Specific requirements

(1) First of all, it is loose and breathable. Just think about it, only when planted in loose, well-breathed soil can the plants breathe freely and grow better.

(2) Then there is nutrition. The roots of the plant mainly absorb nutrients from the soil. If you want to save too much effort in subsequent maintenance, it is necessary to choose nutrient-rich soil.

(3) The third point is the acidity and alkalinity. Specifically, this plant is more suitable for growing in acidic soil. However, it should be noted that weak acid is enough, not too much.

(4) It also needs to have good water and fertilizer retention capabilities. This requirement is also of great significance for promoting the subsequent growth and development of the plant.

(5) It must be clean and hygienic and contain no toxic substances. If you are worried, you can sterilize it before planting. It's not a big deal, just expose it to the sun.

(6) The last point is that drainage should be good to prevent water from accumulating.

2. Prepare the soil

(1) The first option is to mix peat moss, broken brick particles, and coarse grain husks. The ratio can be controlled within a volume ratio of four to two to four.

(2) The second option is to mix leaf mold (finer), broken red brick particles, and wheat husks (preferably moist and rotten). Their ratio is also four to two to four. This preparation method is basically the same as the first one, and the effect is not much different.

(3) You can also mix coconut coir and perlite together. However, the former must account for 95% of the volume, while the latter only needs to account for 5%.

(4) Mix peat soil and humus soil and add an appropriate amount of bone meal (which contains rich phosphorus fertilizer). This will also work. As for the ratio, it can be four to four to two.
