The anthurium and the peace lily he grew turned out mutated, with flowers as big as a palm and glossy as if waxed
Anthurium
Anthurium meaning: realizing grand ambitions, prosperity and good fortune, and also passion and turning one's luck around. With such wonderful meanings, they are excellent whether kept at home or given as gifts!
Anthurium habits: Anthuriums like warm, humid environments. The south is uniquely blessed for growing anthuriums, but northern flower lovers need not lose heart either, as placing them indoors in winter is enough for them to survive the cold safely. They like sunlight more than peace lilies do, and the more they are sunned, the redder and more vivid they become.
Methods for continuous anthurium blooming:
1. Apply liquid fertilizer frequently
Anthuriums have long flowering periods and need plenty of nutrients, but their absorption is weak, so apply thin fertilizer frequently. Before the flowering period, water them with some fermented rice-washing water or milk water. Stop when they bloom, and after flowering add some more fertilizer water, urea fertilizer, etc.
2. Maintain sufficient light
Apart from not being able to endure blazing sun in the high summer heat, anthuriums are quite tolerant of sun. Maintaining more than 4 hours of light daily makes anthurium flowers bloom faster, bigger and more vivid. But once they bloom, light must be reduced again to avoid the flowers changing color or fading too quickly.
3. Control water during the flowering period
As long as the temperature is 15-25 degrees, anthuriums may bloom. At this time, be careful not to water too much, as it not only affects blooming but also makes the flowers smaller. Then, find time morning and evening to wipe the anthurium leaves with beer, or spray some water mist around the anthurium, which both retains moisture and encourages blooming.
Peace lily
Peace lily meaning: smooth sailing, everything going as one wishes, which matches the peace lily's fresh and elegant temperament. Growing a peace lily is not just for a good omen, but also for cultivating body and mind.
Peace lily habits: Peace lilies also like warm, humid environments, but unlike anthuriums, they do not like sun as much, and are best placed on a semi-shaded windowsill or a north-facing balcony, avoiding direct blazing sun.
Methods for continuous peace lily blooming:
1. Regularly add iron and phosphorus fertilizer
Peace lilies do not like sun, and are prone to iron deficiency, yellowing and malnutrition. Prepare 2-3 iron nails, soak them in a bottle of nail water, and water once a month. Normally you can also spray monopotassium phosphate once a week, and they will bloom like crazy~
2. Maintain ventilation, no rot and no yellowing
Peace lilies are more delicate than anthuriums, and yellow or rot easily when there is too much water. Flower lovers with the right conditions should best place them on a windowsill or balcony (somewhere without direct sun). If there is really no way, you can place them on a tall stool, which is much more ventilated than putting them directly on the ground~
3. Cool weather is good for repotting
Peace lilies multiply quickly, and if too crowded they will not bloom either, so when the temperature is around 23 degrees, you can divide and repot the peace lily, which not only turns 1 pot into many pots, but also lets them bloom that same month once they have settled in!
