How to grow crystal anthurium

1. Maintenance methods

1. Temperature: Crystal Anthurium prefers warmth. Under normal circumstances, it can grow normally in an environment below 30 degrees. It can't stand too high a temperature, so try not to exceed 30 degrees in summer. At the same time, its cold resistance is not very high, so the temperature needs to be kept above 15 degrees to prevent its branches and leaves from being frostbitten.

2. Watering: Crystal Anthurium has very low drought resistance. Normal growth requires sufficient water to ensure that it can grow normally without being affected. In spring, it needs to be watered every two days or so. In summer, it needs to be watered according to the specific conditions of the soil. Keep the soil moist at all times. Tap water is the best choice. At the same time, you can also let it rain appropriately when it rains.

3. Light: Warm sunlight is an indispensable condition for its normal growth. However, it should be noted that it cannot accept too strong light, otherwise the color of the plant's branches and leaves will change, affecting the appearance. At the same time, too weak light is not suitable, the plant will grow slowly and fail to achieve the desired effect.

4. Fertilization: If there are nutrients in the soil, the plant will grow more vigorously. Each time you apply fertilizer, you should apply it directly to its roots. Because the branches and leaves are densely populated and cannot be absorbed normally, you can use water to wash away the residual fertilizer on the branches and leaves after fertilization.

2. Breeding techniques

1. Reproduction: Cuttings and sowing are the two most commonly used methods. Cuttings are recommended to be carried out in spring and summer. Choose branches with three leaves and insert them into water. After germination, they can be transplanted into pots. The temperature needs to be controlled after sowing, and the seeds will germinate in about twenty days after sowing.

2. Pruning: Crystal anthuriums may grow densely during their growth period, so pruning can be used to increase light transmittance to ensure better growth, and some dead branches should also be cut off.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment

1. Disease: Leaf blight often occurs and can be controlled by spraying Bordeaux solution once every month.

2. Pests: Pests rarely occur because its branches and leaves are relatively thick, so if it is cultivated correctly, pests rarely occur.

IV. Other issues

1. Toxicity: It is not poisonous, but it is not edible. It can be farmed.

2. Can it be grown at home? Yes, it is a foliage plant and its ornamental value is relatively high.
