Last Updated: 2024/11/05, The family potted Anthurium andraeanum can be mixed with peat soil, perlite and bone powder, and the basin bottom should be covered with coarse sand to facilitate drainage. Before the Anthurium andraeanum is put on the pot, the soil matrix needs to be disinfected. The Anthurium andraeanum plant is placed in the center of the basin, filling the culture soil to the basin surface, and pay attention to exposing the growth point of the plant center and the basal leaflets.

Home potted Anthurium can be selected peat soil, pearlite, bone meal mixed into a composite matrix, the bottom of the basin to be padded with coarse sand conducive to drainage. Before placing Anthurium andraeanum in the pot, disinfect the soil matrix. Place Anthurium andraeanum plants in the center of the pot, fill the culture soil to the pot surface, and pay attention to exposing the growth point in the center of the plant and the leaflets at the base. After planting, timely spraying inoculants to prevent the occurrence of Phytophthora and Pythium.

Because Anthurium andraeanum grows as epiphyte or semi-epiphyte under natural conditions, its aerial roots can absorb water from humid air, so the cultivation substrate must be similar to its natural growth attachment substrate, that is, have better water retention, hydrophobic and breathable properties, otherwise it is easy to cause root rot. The requirements of Anthurium for cultivation substrates are as follows:

1. Good water retention.

2, can remove excess water in time.

3, not easy to rot.

4, can maintain a loose breathable state for a long time.

Does not contain or release toxic substances.

The common substrate is imported peat. In addition to peat, more and more growers are now using coconut husks. Coconut chaff sifted through a mesh can be used as a substitute for peat, which has good capillary absorption and a relatively high air content. Using 40% coconut bran does not cause any problems in cultivation.
