How to cultivate potted flowers and Anthurium andraeanum? Culture methods and matters needing attention of Anthurium andraeanum

The cultivation methods and precautions of Anthurium andraeanum

Maintenance Details

1. Anthurium yellow leaf phenomenon, mainly caused by rotten roots caused by low temperature;

2, too much fertilizer and water, because too much fertilizer application makes the metabolism of candles produce obstacles;

3. Excessive watering will also cause yellow leaves of Anthurium to affect viewing;

4. Too much light will make the leaves of Anthurium turn yellow and lose luster, and will also lead to slow growth of Anthurium, short leaves, small leaves and curly leaves.

5. The reason for vigorous growth but no flowering is generally caused by too dark a place and too much nitrogen fertilizer.

The key to raising flamingo flowers in the north

Flamingo flowers are not easy to raise in ordinary rooms in the north. Cultivation should pay attention to the following points:

1, in addition to winter can be placed near the south window maintenance, other seasons should be placed indoors in the shade, avoid direct light.

2, suitable growth temperature between 20-30℃, late autumn after dormancy, but the room temperature should not be lower than 15℃, avoid low temperature. Also avoid high temperature, high temperature conditions poor growth.

3. Except in winter, water should be regularly watered to keep the pot soil moist. Flamingo flowers prefer higher air humidity and can be placed in shallow pots of pebbles and water, often spraying water on the plants and surrounding ground. Avoid sprinkling water on flowers after flowering.

4. Pot soil can be mixed with peat soil and pine needle soil, or pine needle soil can be used directly, and a small amount of decomposed horseshoe or long-term fertilizer can be added. It is best to irrigate with cold boiled water (containing less calcium) or rain water. The basin floor holes should be padded with tiles to ensure smooth drainage. 3-8 Month, every one to two weeks to apply a thin fertilizer.

Red Anthurium Notes

1. Daily Management of Anthurium

When the anthurium seedlings are transplanted into pots, the pots should be loosened frequently to maintain fertility. The anthurium placed indoors in a sunny but not direct sunlight can maintain temperature and will not burn the anthurium. In addition, Anthurium has great requirements for moisture. It is necessary to keep the roots and leaves moist. It is necessary to water them in time and wipe the stems and leaves frequently. In addition, according to the growth needs of Anthurium increase fertilization and pay attention to the prevention of pest invasion.

2. Natural habits of Anthurium

Anthurium is named for its flowers like human palms and belongs to the Araceae flower species native to tropical rain forests in South America. Anthurium flower type is not large, its leaves green, flowers like horizontal lying leaves generally suffused with oily light, many colors mainly red, pink, white and many other colors.

Anthurium is the original growth in tropical plants, it likes warm, humid, sunny climate environment, it for temperature and moisture requirements are relatively high, prefer humid warm environment growth. Anthurium is not suitable for outdoor cultivation because especially in summer the sun is too strong will burn Anthurium, so generally placed indoors or in flower greenhouses for cultivation. Anthurium suitable for growth in fertile soil, loose, good drainage soil.

maintenance points

The flowers are composed of scarlet spathes and orange-red spikes, and the inflorescences are spirally curled, brilliant, and elegant, giving a bright, warm feeling. Potting should be selected decaying soil (or peat soil), moss plus a small amount of garden soil and charcoal and calcium superphosphate mixed matrix. During the growth period, about 1-2 times a month, nitrogen and phosphorus combined with thin fertilizer or topdressing. From October to March of the following year, watering should be properly controlled. Watering at other times should be sufficient, otherwise flowering will be affected. However, it should be noted that watering should be dry and wet alternately, and ponding in the basin should be avoided, otherwise it is easy to cause rotten roots. Flamingo flower is afraid of cold, and it is advisable to keep the room temperature above 16℃ during winter. Cold and wet winters cause root rot. Flamingo flowers like half shade, afraid of strong light, so the enemy pay attention to proper shade in spring, summer and autumn, and cover 60% of the sunlight in summer. In hot season, it is best to put the flowerpot on a sand table containing wet sand for maintenance. In winter, it is cultured near the south window of the room. No need for shading. To maintain high humidity, spray water on the leaves 2-3 times a day and sprinkle water on the ground. Generally every 1-2 years in early spring 3-4 months for a pot. Flamingo flower reproduction, mainly ramets, combined with early spring for pot.

Anthurium is sensitive to temperature, suitable growth temperature 14-35℃, the most suitable temperature 19-25℃, day and night temperature difference 3-6℃, that is, the best day 21-25℃, night 19℃ or so, in such a temperature, conducive to the absorption and accumulation of nutrients Anthurium, very beneficial to growth and flowering.

Anthurium belongs to salt sensitive flower varieties, so we should try to control the pH value of the substrate between 5.2-6.1, the most suitable for Anthurium growth. If the pH value is too low, the flower stem becomes shorter, which will reduce the ornamental value. Tap water is suitable for planting Anthurium, but the price is expensive; natural rainwater is the best water source for cultivation of Anthurium. Potted Anthurium has different water requirements at different growth stages.

According to Dutch cultivation experience, root fertilization of Anthurium andraeanum is much better than foliar fertilization. Because andraea leaves have a layer of waxy surface, can not be a good absorption of fertilizer. Liquid fertilizer application should master the principle of regular quantitative, autumn generally 3-4 days for a cycle, such as high temperature, depending on the degree of dryness and wetness of the matrix in the basin can be 2-3 days irrigation fertilizer water once; summer can be 2 days irrigation fertilizer water once, when the temperature is high can be more irrigation water; autumn generally 5-7 days irrigation fertilizer water once.

Anthurium grows according to the cycle of leaf → flower → leaf → flower. Inflorescences are formed in axils of each leaf. This results in the same yield of flowers and leaves. The most important factor in yield difference is light. If the light is too little, the plant produces little assimilates under the influence of photosynthesis; when the light is too strong, some leaves of the plant will warm up, which may cause discoloration, burns or scorch of the leaves. Therefore, the success of light management directly affects the amount of assimilates produced by Anthurium andraeanum and the quality of products in the later stage.

Anthurium growth needs relatively high temperature and relatively high humidity, so high temperature and high humidity are conducive to Anthurium growth. Temperature is closely related to humidity. When the temperature is below 20℃, the indoor natural environment can be maintained; when the temperature reaches above 28℃, the spraying system or atomization system must be used to increase the indoor air relative humidity to create a high temperature and high humidity growth environment for Anthurium. However, even if the temperature in the greenhouse is higher in winter, it is not advisable to cool down and keep moisture too much, because the leaves of the plants at night are too wet to reduce their ability to keep warm, making them easy to frostbite, which is not conducive to safe winter.
