How to grow Anthurium more vigorously in summer?

Anthurium is an easy-to-care-for flower that is popular for its long blooming period, unique flower shape, elegant leaves and auspicious meaning. During the summer, anthuriums require proper care and management to ensure that their flowers are bright and maintain their shape. So how can we grow Anthurium more vigorously in summer?

1. Ensure appropriate lighting

Although Anthurium does not like direct strong light, it needs to be provided with sufficient light during its growing period in order to promote its healthy growth and more flowering. Avoid placing the anthurium at noon when the sun is strongest. At other times, place it in a well-lit and well-ventilated place to get enough diffuse light. The growth of Anthurium follows the cycle of "leaf → flower → leaf → flower", and the inflorescence is formed in the axil of each leaf, so light is one of the key factors affecting the number of flowers it blooms. Insufficient light may result in reduced flowering.

2. Reasonable fertilization

In order to make Anthurium bloom more, sufficient nutrients must be provided. There is a waxy protective film on the surface of the leaves of Anthurium, so it is recommended to avoid applying foliar fertilizers and instead fertilize through the roots. You can use multi-element compound fertilizer to ensure that anthurium gets enough nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Use decomposed soybean water as fertilizer and apply it 2-3 times a month to meet the growth needs of Anthurium.

3. Water at the right time

Anthurium likes a humid environment. During its peak growth period in summer, the moisture in the potting soil needs to be checked frequently because water evaporates quickly. Once the surface of the potting soil becomes dry, you should water it in time, using small amounts of water to ensure thorough watering while avoiding water accumulation in the pot. It is best to water in the morning or evening in summer, and spray water on the leaves and surrounding environment of Anthurium during these two periods to increase the air humidity and promote the good growth of Anthurium.

In addition, Anthurium easily sprouts small buds. In order to keep the plant neat and concentrate the nutrient supply , a few strong small buds should be retained and the rest should be removed to avoid excessive consumption of nutrients and affect flowering.
