What are the absorbing buds on the latest potted Anthurium andraeanum?

There are many varieties of Anthurium, but for most varieties, each red palm only needs to retain one suction bud. If the number of suction buds is too much, it is often very unfavorable for the growth of plants. If there are too many buds, it is mainly easy to cause the flower stem of Anthurium to bend, and the flowers are relatively small, so the ornamental value of potted plants is relatively low.

The suckers of Anthurium generally grow at the base of the plant, which is the part that can grow into seedlings through small buds and can be propagated. With the growth of the plant, the suction bud of Anthurium andraeanum will continue to germinate and grow, often competing for a large amount of nutrients originally belonging to the mother plant, and will cause the growth and development of the mother plant and suction bud to be affected, and may also produce yellow leaves at the base of the plant. Therefore, except for a few varieties of Anthurium can retain multiple suckers. For most varieties of Anthurium, it is often only suitable for retaining one suckling bud.

Moreover, the removal of suction buds should be sooner rather than later, because the bigger the suction buds grow, the more nutrients they consume, which will weaken the growth of Anthurium andraeanum, and at the same time, it is easier to damage the roots of Anthurium andraeanum when removing them. After all, the bigger the suction buds grow, the more difficult it is to remove them from the roots. When the roots of plants are damaged, it will affect the growth of plants more or less, thus affecting the growth and flowering of their stems and leaves.

In addition, when removing the buds, you can break them off directly by hand, which is often more thorough. However, it is also necessary to choose a suitable time to remove the suckers. Generally, it is not suitable to break off the suckers in the slow growth period or rainy season of Anthurium. Mainly because Anthurium in the slow growth period or rainy season is relatively fragile, plant resistance is also relatively poor, relatively easy to infect diseases and insect pests. Because the suction bud will leave a wound after breaking off, it is easy to be attacked by pests and diseases when the humidity is too high.

For Anthurium bud breaking, can be carried out in the usual soil, loose soil, so that you can avoid excessive bud consumption of a lot of nutrients. After a large number of suckers are removed, new roots can be stimulated to germinate, and root germination can be promoted to ensure that the growth and development of the whole plant in the original pot remain in good condition. This is of great significance to maintaining good growth, branching and leafing of potted Anthurium andraeanum and promoting flowering.
