Choosing a pot
The success of growing anthurium largely depends on the size of the pot. In a pot that is too spacious, the plant will build up its root system, which will affect flowering and the size of the leaves. If the leaves begin to turn yellow, this may be a signal for replanting due to root rot.
Substrate selection
As an epiphyte, anthurium grows on other plants in nature, so it does not need dense black soil. The substrate should be loose, quickly drying, but at the same time retaining moisture. The ideal option is a mixture of soil and pine bark.
Top dressing
Anthurium requires a careful approach to fertilizing, as it is an epiphyte and does not require much fertilizer. It is recommended to reduce the recommended dose of fertilizers by half, purchasing products from the same manufacturer as the soil.
Spraying
It is important to avoid getting water on the flowers and covers, as this can cause them to rot. When spraying the leaves, try to protect the flowers using small bags or other improvised means.
Protection from drafts
Anthuriums prefer warmth, the optimal winter temperature for them is 22-28 degrees. Drafts can seriously harm the plant, causing stress and diseases.
Following these simple rules will help your anthurium not only grow beautifully, but also delight you with abundant and long-lasting flowering.
