However, whether hydroponic culture or soil culture, mainly our maintenance methods are appropriate, management measures in place, often can raise the flowers and leaves luxuriant. The hydroponic culture and soil culture of Anthurium andraeanum are just two different growth modes, and there are some differences in technical requirements. So can hydroponic anthurium be cultivated in soil?

In fact, hydroponic Anthurium andraeanum can not only be converted into soil culture, but also adopt the way of soil culture to grow andrographis andraeanum, which is often better than hydroponics, and the maintenance and management is also easier. In general, the method of planting hydroponically cultivated Anthurium andraeanum into the soil is relatively simple, just take the plant out of the hydroponic state, then plant it in a flowerpot containing peat soil, and put it in a cool place to slow down the seedlings after watering once.

The process of slowing down seedlings from hydroponic Anthurium andraeanum to soil culture is very important. after all, plants suddenly transfer from one growth environment to another, and there is a process of using the new environment. This adaptation process usually takes 2-3 weeks, and after Anthurium andraeanum takes root smoothly in the soil culture environment, we can carry out normal soil culture management. Generally put it in a bright or sunny environment that can accept scattered light, and usually do a good job in water and fertilizer management. Especially watering, because Anthurium andraeanum is short of water, its stems and leaves are easy to droop, but it is also necessary to avoid excessive watering and ensure environmental ventilation, otherwise it may also cause rotten roots.

However, Anthurium andraeanum is not suitable for planting in ordinary soil, so it is recommended to use peat soil for pot cultivation.

The flowerpots used in the upper pot should choose pottery pots and purple sand pots, with a caliber of 18-28 centimeters, and the flowerpots need to be sterilized and soaked before use to fully absorb water. As Anthurium andraeanum prefer acidic soil environment, it is generally appropriate to keep the PH between 6.0 and 6.5. The cultivated soil requires good permeability, but also has a certain ability to retain water and fertilizer, so the mixed matrix of peat soil and perlite is recommended.
