Cultivation method of anthurium and precautions for cultivating anthurium

Anthurium is a plant of the Araceae family. It is a perennial evergreen herb. The leaves of this plant are leathery green, the flowers are bright red, and the fragrance is elegant. It is particularly valuable for viewing. It is native to Costa Rica and was later introduced to all parts of the world. It is now the most popular ornamental plant in the flower market. Especially around the Spring Festival, people buy anthuriums and place them indoors to increase the festive atmosphere. But how should anthuriums be cultivated after purchase? What should be paid attention to during its cultivation?

Cultivation methods of Anthurium

1. Choose the right soil

In nature, anthurium is an accessory plant. The root system of this plant is relatively weak, so when cultivating it, you must choose loose soil with good air permeability and water retention. It is best to put an appropriate amount of bark or sphagnum moss in the soil, which will make the soil more suitable for the growth of anthurium.

2. Reasonable watering

Some people think that the more watering the anthurium, the better after buying it. In fact, it is not the case. Only the right amount of watering can make the anthurium grow normally. Under normal circumstances, the anthurium needs to be watered every 3 to 5 days. When watering, it should be watered thoroughly, but water should not accumulate in the flowerpot. If water accumulates in the flowerpot, it will cause the roots to rot. In addition, in the hot summer weather, it is also necessary to spray water around it and on the leaves in time to increase the environmental humidity.

Things to note when growing Anthurium

1. Apply fertilizer in time

When growing Anthurium, you must pay attention to timely fertilization, because this plant has a particularly long flowering period and it has a relatively large demand for fertilizer. However, the roots of Anthurium are relatively fragile, so when fertilizing Anthurium, you cannot use fertilizer to directly water its roots. You should choose foliar fertilizers or slow-release fertilizers on the market. This will allow the Anthurium to absorb sufficient nutrients without causing damage to the plant.

2. Temperature regulation

When cultivating anthurium, temperature regulation is also something that people need to pay special attention to, because anthurium is originally a tropical plant. If it is placed in an environment below ten degrees during cultivation, it will suffer from frostbite due to the low temperature. Therefore, it is best to place the anthurium in a warm environment above 25 degrees for cultivation. If the color of the anthurium flower is found to fade, it means that the ambient temperature is too low and must be adjusted in time.
