Anthurium potted plants are a beautiful houseplant that adds life and greenery to your home. However, raising a good potted anthurium is not an easy task. Below, we'll introduce ten ways to help you grow your anthurium potted plants.
1.Choose the right potter.
Anthurium potted plants need to be potted with good drainage and strong air permeability. Therefore, we recommend choosing pots made of ceramic or plastic, and the size should also be chosen according to the size of the anthurium plant.
2.Watering wisely.
Anthurium needs to keep the soil moist, but overwatering can cause root rot. Therefore, we should water reasonably according to the actual situation of the anthurium. Before watering, you can touch the surface of the soil with your fingers and water it if it feels dry. When watering, make sure that the water penetrates the soil adequately and avoid standing water.
3.Pay attention to the lighting.
Anthurium needs plenty of sunlight, but it should not be exposed to strong direct sunlight. Therefore, we need to shade the anthurium during the sunny season, while at the same time receiving at least 4-6 hours of diffused light per day.
4.Maintain a comfortable temperature.
Anthurium grows at a temperature of 15-25 degrees Celsius. In winter, make sure that the anthurium grows in a low temperature of 10 degrees Celsius to avoid frostbite. In summer, to avoid the effects of high temperatures, anthuriums can be lowered by spraying water, ventilation and other measures.
5.Proper fertilization.
Anthurium needs the right amount of nutrients to maintain growth. We recommend using a special fertilizer for anthurium, or a compound fertilizer based on nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. When fertilizing, it is necessary to pay attention to controlling the amount and frequency of fertilization to avoid excessive fertilization and damage to plants.
6.Control pests and diseases.
Anthurium is susceptible to pests and diseases, such as leaf spot, aphids, etc. In order to prevent the occurrence of pests and diseases, we need to spray anthurium regularly and pay attention to keeping the plants clean and hygienic. If it is found that pests and diseases have occurred, it is necessary to take timely measures to carry out them**.
7.Use appropriate soil.
Anthurium needs to be cultivated in soil with good air permeability and strong drainage. We recommend using materials such as peat, perlite and vermiculite to provide a suitable environment for anthurium.
8.Repot regularly.
As the anthurium grows, the pots may become too small, affecting the growth of the plants. Therefore, we need to change the potting utensils for the anthurium regularly. When repotting, be careful not to damage the roots of the anthurium, and ensure that the new pot is well drained and breathable.
9.Make a prune.
Anthurium needs to be pruned regularly to keep the plant morphologically aesthetically pleasing and growing healthily. When pruning, be careful not to cut the trunk and leaves of Anthurium, and at the same time cut off dead and weak branches to promote the growth of new branches.
10.Maintain air humidity.
Anthurium needs the right amount of air humidity to sustain its growth. In a dry environment, we can increase the humidity of the air by spraying water, humidifiers, etc., to ensure the healthy growth of anthurium.
In conclusion, raising a good potted anthurium requires attention to detail and patience. By choosing the right potting, watering properly, paying attention to light, maintaining the right temperature, fertilizing properly, controlling pests and diseases, using appropriate soil, changing pots regularly, pruning and maintaining air humidity, we can provide a suitable growth environment for anthurium, let it bloom beautiful flowers, and add vitality and green to the home.
