Points for attention on how to cultivate Anthurium andraeanum

Anthurium andraeanum can be used as a potted plant. the single flowering period of potted plants can be as long as 4-6 months and can blossom every year. Many people will breed at home, and the ornamental value is very high. It is like an outstretched red hand, erecting a small golden spike on the palm, which is particularly eye-catching, which is academically called the "Buddha's bud".

Change the basin every other year in the spring, and go into the dead roots and part of the old roots to promote the germination of new roots and fill in some new soil at the same time.

Matters needing attention in culture of Anthurium andraeanum

Humidity

Anthurium andraeanum needs about 70% air humidity for normal growth, which is generally difficult to achieve in ordinary family farming. You can use clean wet towels to wet the leaves several times a day, or spray water around the plant regularly to increase air humidity. (but do not sprinkle the flowers with water, so as not to affect the ornamental quality.)

Watering and fertilizing

Under normal growth conditions, dry wetlands can be seen to water the cultivated soil every week. Generally grasp the principle that the soil surface is not dry or irrigated, and the soil surface is thoroughly watered. The watering times and amount of water can be reduced appropriately in spring, autumn and winter. 7-8% special nutrient solution or 500 times diluted fertilizer water should be applied with watering every half month.

Pruning

In general, during the growth of Anthurium andraeanum, the basal petiole degenerates gradually, and the stipules can be cut off in time when the stipules become dry. When the pedicel turns yellow after anthesis, it should also be cut off from the protective post with 2 cm left at the base as soon as possible.

Temperature

For family breeding of Anthurium andraeanum, the temperature should be guaranteed as much as possible. The optimum growth temperature of Anthurium andraeanum is 16-24 ℃, and the lowest temperature should be above 12 ℃. If ordinary families have heating facilities, this condition is easy to achieve. But at the same time, it must be noted that the flowerpot should not be placed on or too close to the radiator. When the summer temperature exceeds 30 ℃, the flowers should be moved to a ventilated room opposite to the north, and water can be sprayed around the plants to cool down.

Light

Anthurium andraeanum must have sufficient scattered light for normal growth, and family culture should generally pay attention to: avoid strong light to direct leaves and flowers in summer, and move to the vicinity of the window in autumn and winter to increase light. It is also necessary to rotate the plant regularly to ensure that it receives uniform light and promote the perfection of its crown shape.
