What if the water-cultivated anthurium doesn't blossom?

Anthurium andraeanum can not only be potted with soil, but also can be cultivated in water. As long as the maintenance and management work is done in place, it can grow luxuriantly and have high ornamental value. Relatively speaking, hydroponic Anthurium andraeanum makes the environment cleaner, but it is more difficult to make it blossom smoothly than soil culture. Many people encounter the phenomenon of non-flowering in hydroponic Anthurium andraeanum, which naturally reduces the ornamental value, so what if hydroponic Anthurium andraeanum does not blossom?

In fact, whether it is hydroponic or soil-cultured Anthurium andraeanum, if you want its plant to blossom, light, temperature, humidity and nutrition must be guaranteed. It is generally required that the growth environment temperature should be kept at about 25 °C, high humidity can effectively promote plant growth, and scientific addition of nutrient solution or topdressing can provide guarantee for flowering, of course, it is also very important for plants to receive scattered light. Among them, the phenomenon of non-flowering of hydroponic Anthurium andraeanum may also be caused by improper nutrition, and the most common one is phosphorus deficiency and nitrogen deficiency.

It is difficult to bloom when the growth environment of Anthurium andraeanum is lack of phosphorus, because phosphate fertilizer is an important nutrition to promote the flower bud formation of Anthurium andraeanum. If there is a lack of phosphorus, Anthurium andraeanum is often difficult to form flower buds, and it is naturally difficult to blossom. Therefore, it is generally necessary to replenish sufficient phosphorus and potassium for Anthurium andraeanum 1-2 months before flowering. For hydroponic Anthurium andraeanum, in addition to supplement phosphorus and potassium by dripping nutrient solution, foliar fertilizer can also be sprayed properly. But the amount of fertilizer must be appropriate, so it is necessary to control the concentration.

When the nitrogen element is excessive, it is often easy to cause the phenomenon of Anthurium andraeanum overgrowth, which is also one of the factors that cause its long stems and leaves not to blossom. Because too much nitrogen is concentrated in the stems and leaves of the plant, it is difficult to achieve flowering due to the lack of phosphorus to promote flower bud formation. Of course, if the growth environment of Anthurium andraeanum is too shady and lack of light, it is also easier to cause stems and leaves to grow, thus inhibiting flowering.

Therefore, if you do a good job of water control and keep the alternation of dry and wet before Anthurium andraeanum bloom, it can also form flower buds, and proper increase of light can better promote the flowering of Anthurium andraeanum. Of course, in general, it is necessary to ensure that conditions such as light, temperature, water and fertilizer are met before Anthurium andraeanum blossoms. And whether it is soil culture or water culture, Anthurium andraeanum should be maintained and managed according to its growth habits to ensure that the plant can maintain normal growth and blossom.
