Culture methods and matters needing attention of Anthurium andraeanum

Anthurium andraeanum, also known as candle, is a perennial evergreen herb of Araceae. The ornamental value of Anthurium andraeanum flowers is very high, with a long flowering period. And Anthurium andraeanum can effectively absorb waste gas, such as ammonia, formaldehyde and so on. It can also ensure the indoor air humidity and avoid being too dry. So how to breed Anthurium andraeanum? The following editor brings you the breeding methods and matters needing attention of Anthurium andraeanum, let's have a look!

1. Pre-planting preparation

To plant Anthurium andraeanum, we first need to prepare a matrix with good drainage and irrigation. When planting on a large scale, it is necessary to use peat, perlite and other preparation to match the matrix. The PH value of the matrix should be kept at about 6 and the temperature should be controlled at 25 degrees. It should also be noted that Anthurium andraeanum has poor resistance to strong light. It should be cultivated in places with good shade throughout the year. Especially in places with strong light, such as spring, summer and autumn, the shading rate in summer should be kept at about 70%. Exposed to direct sunlight, there will be burning leaves, discoloration and other adverse phenomena, reducing the growth rate of leaves.

2. Rational watering

The water demand of Anthurium andraeanum will change with the change of growth stage. In the seedling stage, the root of Anthurium andraeanum is underdeveloped, the distribution is strong, so the drought tolerance is poor. Therefore, it should be watered about twice a day after the disaster, to keep the matrix moist and promote the emergence of new roots. The growth rate of the plant in the big seedling stage is accelerated, and the demand for water is greater, so it is necessary to ensure that there is sufficient water. After entering the flowering period, watering should be controlled to improve the flowering rate. Then spray water properly to improve the humidity and enhance the growth ability of Anthurium andraeanum.

3. Scientific fertilization

The topdressing method of Anthurium andraeanum is mainly topdressing the root, because the leaves of Anthurium andraeanum have a layer of wax, which can not absorb the foliar fertilizer well. When topdressing, it should be based on the principle of regular quantity. Adjust the topdressing cycle reasonably according to the changes of the weather, for example, in autumn, topdressing is about once in about 3 days. In summer, you can top fertilize every two days or so, and the time of fertilization is mainly determined by the climate and environment. It is usually applied at 8-17:00 every year to ensure that Anthurium andraeanum can absorb fertilizer well.

4. Points for attention

When planting Anthurium andraeanum, we should pay attention to control the temperature and adjust it reasonably with the climate. Usually on cloudy days, the temperature should be controlled at about 19 degrees and the humidity should be kept at about 75%. On sunny days, the temperature should be controlled at about 25 degrees and the humidity should be reduced by 5%. The maximum temperature should not exceed 30 degrees and the minimum humidity should not be less than 50%. Then when the Anthurium andraeanum plant germinates a large number of small sucking buds, we should pay attention to picking the bud properly to avoid grabbing the growth nutrition with the mother plant, destroying the plant shape of Anthurium andraeanum and reducing the ornamental value.

The above is a brief introduction of Anthurium andraeanum culture methods and matters needing attention. The cultivation method of Anthurium andraeanum is not difficult, the main thing is to do a good job of management in order to improve the ornamental value of Anthurium andraeanum as much as possible. That's all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only. I hope it can help you all.
