When transferring the anthurium from soil culture to hydroponics, you need to first remove the pot and soil, and carefully inspect, clean and trim the roots of the anthurium.

Control water and remove from pots: Control water for two days before removing from pots to make the soil in the pots slightly dry and loose to reduce damage to the root system. But be careful not to control the water for too long, so as to avoid damage to the plants due to lack of water.

Clean the roots: Thoroughly remove the dirt on the roots to prevent soil residues from polluting the water and causing root rot.

Root pruning: Check the roots and remove diseased or rotten parts, as well as old and weak roots, leaving only healthy and strong roots.

Disinfection: Soak the roots in a carbendazim solution for 10 to 20 minutes to disinfect and sterilize, thereby reducing the probability of disease occurrence.
