Anthurium can be watered with rice water, but it must be fermented first before use, otherwise it will easily breed bacteria and affect the plant's growth. In addition, when watering, you also need to master the watering method, such as watering frequency; its water requirements differ at different growth stages, and you also need to choose the right watering time and control the water temperature well.

1. Can it be watered with rice water?

It can be watered with this kind of water, but the rice water must first be fermented before it can be used. If used directly, it will cause the roots to rot and easily breed bacteria.

2. Watering methods

1. Watering frequency:At each growth stage, its requirements for water quality and water quantity are different. If it is in the seedling stage, its root system has not yet fully developed and its roots are very shallow, so it is very fragile. At this time, in addition to watering it, you also need to spray its leaves with water 2 to 3 times a day, keeping the potting soil moist at all times, so as to promote the growth of new roots. If it is when the seedlings have grown into medium or large plants, you need to increase the amount of watering, because at this time the plant is larger and needs more water. If it is when the flowers are blooming, you need to reduce the frequency of watering and apply a certain amount of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer to make it bloom more.

2. Watering time:In the three seasons of spring, autumn and winter, water it appropriately, and choose to do it when the weather is good. Morning or evening is best here. Never water it when the weather is cold and overcast. When summer comes, it is best to water from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m., or at 3 p.m.

3. Water temperature control:Before watering it, first check the water temperature. Especially in extremely hot and extremely cold weather, keep the water temperature at around 15°C at all times, so that it can grow better.
