The latest growth habits of Anthurium andraeanum

Anthurium, also known as Anthurium, Anthurium, Flamingo, Red Goose Anthurium, etc., is a perennial evergreen herb belonging to Anthurium of Araceae, native to Costa Rica, Colombia and other tropical rain forest areas. It likes smooth drainage, high air humidity, overcast heat and loose fertile soil environment. Let's take a look at the growth habits of Anthurium together!

temperature

Anthurium is sensitive to temperature, suitable growth temperature 14-35℃, the most suitable temperature 19-25℃, day and night temperature difference 3-6℃, that is, the best day 21-25℃. When the temperature is lower than 13℃ for a long time, the plant will not die, but it is difficult to recover for a long time. When the temperature is higher than 35℃, and the light is sufficient, the leaves are easy to burn, because the injured leaves will not reverse, affecting the overall quality of Anthurium.

illumination

Anthurium is a shade-tolerant plant, avoid direct sunlight, but do not think anthurium is shade-tolerant flowers, can not need light. It has been observed that when the light increases by 1%, the flower yield will also increase by 1%, but this is within the appropriate light intensity range of Anthurium. The more suitable range of light intensity is 10000-20000 lux, mainly according to different varieties, different growth periods of different growth conditions, in any case to ensure that the light can not exceed 25000-30000 lux for a long time.

humidity

The optimum air relative humidity of Anthurium andraeanum is 70%-80%, not lower than 50%, because maintaining a high air humidity in the cultivation environment is the key to successful cultivation of Anthurium andraeanum.

soil and fertilizer

Anthurium potting soil should be selected peat soil plus 1/4 pearlite, plus a small amount of bone meal or decomposed cake fertilizer mixed evenly, the bottom of the pot should be padded with coarse sand and other things to facilitate drainage. After a period of cultivation and management, the substrate of Anthurium andraeanum will produce biodegradation and salinization, which will reduce the pH value of the substrate and increase the EC value, thus affecting the absorption capacity of the plant roots to fertilizer and water. Therefore, the pH and EC values of the substrate must be measured regularly, and the ratio of each nutrient element must be adjusted according to the measured data to promote the absorption of fertilizer and water by the plant.
