How to grow white palm quickly

1. Maintain the environment

1. Soil

Potted anthuriums require loose soil with good drainage and ventilation. Heavy clay soil cannot be used. When repotting, a mixture of leaf mold + peat soil + a small amount of perlite is generally used. In addition, adding a small amount of organic fertilizer into the soil as base fertilizer will help the anthurium grow better.

2. Humidity

Humidity includes environmental humidity and soil humidity. During the growth period of Anthurium, keep the soil in the pot dry, but do not water it too much. Keep the soil in the pot dry but not dry, moist but not wet, otherwise the roots will easily rot.

3. Temperature

Anthurium is a plant that tolerates high temperatures and will grow well in low temperatures. It can grow and bloom normally during the high temperature period in summer, and the flowering period is from May to August. In winter, the minimum temperature of the leaf tip should be controlled at 14~16℃ and above 25℃ during the day.

4. Lighting

Light is essential to the growth of Anthurium, especially in winter and early spring. Full light maintenance can promote the growth of Anthurium, but as the temperature rises, the light becomes stronger and shading is required in time.

2. Breeding methods

The maintenance of anthurium is nothing more than watering, fertilizing, and sun exposure. Sunlight may not be controllable by humans, but at least watering and fertilizing are in your hands.

1. Fertilization

Anthurium grows quickly and requires a large amount of fertilizer. You can apply decomposed liquid fertilizer once a month. If you use solid fertilizer such as Xiu Anze, remember to water it with clean water the next day. When choosing fertilizers, concentrated fertilizers and raw fertilizers are prohibited.

During the fertilization process, loosen the soil for the white calla lily to promote the absorption of fertilizer, which is beneficial to the growth of the white calla lily. In addition, when applying fertilizer, be careful not to sprinkle the fertilizer on the leaves to avoid it sitting on the leaves.

Due to the high temperatures in summer and low temperatures in winter, the growth of anthuriums is slow, so stop fertilizing at this time.

2. Watering

The amount of watering varies slightly in different seasons. In summer or dry seasons, spray water on the leaves and the ground frequently to increase the air humidity and keep the leaves fresh and tender.

In autumn and winter, you should reduce watering appropriately. The low temperature and humid environment can easily cause root rot! To avoid frostbite on the white calla lily due to low temperatures, pay attention to cold protection and keep the soil in the pot slightly moist.

3. Pot soil replacement method

The white calla lily needs to be repotted every 1 to 2 years. When repotting, the roots of the plant should be trimmed. Cut off old roots and roots that are too long, remove part of the old soil, and replace it with new soil to help the anthurium bloom.

In addition, when repotting, divide the plants reasonably according to their size, so that one pot of anthurium can be turned into two pots.

3. Maintenance methods of hydroponics

1. Container selection

If you want to grow anthuriums hydroponically, first you need a larger container, about the size of a medium-sized fish tank, with a wider mouth so that the roots and leaves have enough space to grow.

2. Light and temperature

The temperature for hydroponic anthuriums is generally between 10 and 30 degrees Celsius, and the water temperature is around 15 to 20 degrees Celsius, which is sometimes equivalent to room temperature. The difference cannot be too large.

The hydroponic anthurium mainly relies on scattered light and does not necessarily need direct sunlight. Especially in summer, avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight to prevent the water temperature from being too high and affecting growth.

3. Change water and wash roots

Change the water every 7 days in summer and every 10 to 15 days in winter. Add a little hydroponic nutrient solution to the water each time you change the water.

It is easy for hydroponic plants to grow moss on the walls of glass bottles, so the walls of the bottles should be cleaned every time the water is changed. The roots also need to be treated, wash off the mucus on the roots, and cut off the old roots.

4. Moisturizing and fertilizing

Although the roots of hydroponic anthuriums have sufficient water, the leaves are prone to drying out. You should spray the leaves with clean water frequently, and you can spray foliar fertilizer once a week. This will not only add nutrients to the leaves, but also increase the glossiness of the leaves, and can also resist low temperatures in winter.

4. Reproduction Methods

Anthuriums can be propagated by sowing and division, but division is the most commonly used method in households!

1. Time

There is no strict requirement for the division time of Anthurium. It can be done in spring and autumn as long as high and low temperature weather is avoided. Most people are accustomed to dividing the plants in conjunction with repotting from March to May every year.

2. Methods

Choose white calla lilies that are more than two years old, remove the plants from the pots before they sprout in early spring, remove the soil from the roots, and trim off the old roots.

After pruning the plants, divide them into N clusters according to their size, with each cluster having 3 to 4 leaves. Be careful not to damage the roots. After transplanting, place it in a semi-shaded place to grow slowly for a while.

3. Notes

In early spring, check the bottom of the white calla lily plant to see if there are new buds. If there are many new buds, it is most appropriate to divide the plant!

After division, change to a larger flowerpot, which will be conducive to the recovery of the root system and the growth will be more vigorous. After division, you should loosen the soil frequently to ensure that the soil in the pot is loose. As long as the temperature is suitable, it can grow well!
