The latest hydroponic cultivation of Anthurium andraeanum in winter

I believe that Anthurium andraeanum this kind of flower is no stranger to everyone. Like other plants and flowers, winter is a difficult time for them. Soil cultivation is better, mainly because those hydroponic Anthurium andraeanum are easy to be frostbitten in winter. It is a headache to get through the winter successfully. It needs the careful care of the breeders to survive safely. Anthurium andraeanum this kind of plant likes the warm growing environment. Then the following Shuai Shuai will tell you from several aspects how to cultivate Anthurium andraeanum in winter.

First, change water

Since it is hydroponic, then changing water must be very important. Anthurium andraeanum root vitality is very strong, breathing is very strong, so if you raise water, you should regularly add water to it. Wipe off all the green algae on the roots and rinse them with clean water, then pick out the old roots and dead roots and subtract them. Usually change the water every 2 to 3 days, and you must change the water frequently. During the the Beginning of Winter period, you can relatively shorten the watering cycle and times, from 2-3 days to once a week, and you can add some nutrient solution every time you change water. The nutrient solution is now available on the market, and the price is not very expensive. After buying the nutrient solution, you should first bask in the sun and volatilize the chlorine in the nutrient solution. Pay attention to the hydroponics only need to soak the general rhizome into the water. Everything else can be exposed to the outside, and the outside part can breathe better. Another advantage of changing water frequently is that it prevents the plant's roots from rotting due to insufficient dissolved oxygen in the water.

Second, light and temperature

Anthurium andraeanum is generally best cultured on the balcony or rooftop, and some shading measures should be taken in the period of strong sunlight to avoid the phenomenon of evaporating water too fast or being burned by strong light. It is best to choose a semi-transparent position and try to produce scattered light. In winter, it can not be less than 14 degrees. If it is less than 14 degrees, it will be frostbitten. At this time, we can turn on the heater in the room or use the electric heating lamp to increase the temperature, do not get too close when using the electric heating lamp, prevent scalding plants and leaves, and the humidity of the air can be controlled at about 80%. When drying, you can use a humidifier or spray some water around the basin to increase the humidity of the air.

Third, increase oxygen

Anthurium andraeanum hydroponics is more prone to root rot than similar plants in hydroponics, especially when the water is not changed in time for a long time, and the main factor leading to hydroponic rotting is the amount of dissolved oxygen in the water. the simplest and most convenient solution is to shake the vase. We can hold the flower with one hand and shake the container slightly with the other. Shaking about ten times can increase the amount of dissolved oxygen in the water by 30%. Is it very simple and convenient? If families with conditions can add a little bit of hydrogen peroxide about 1% when adding nutrient solution.

The above is the culture method of hydroponic Anthurium andraeanum in winter, and there is no problem if we can do the above. If it is the kind of extremely cold weather in the north, we have to control the water temperature, because the ambient temperature is different from the water temperature, so it is necessary to raise the water temperature to prevent frostbite or freezing of the rhizome. Once the phenomenon of freezing and caking is found, measures must be taken in time to raise the temperature. This can ensure the smooth winter of Anthurium andraeanum.
