Anthurium cultivation and precautions
How to grow anthurium
1. Soil
The potting soil can be made by mixing half peat soil and half pine needle soil, or pine needle soil can be used directly, and a small amount of decomposed horse hoof or slow-release tablets can also be added. Preferably, water it with cooled boiled water (low in calcium) or rainwater. The drainage hole at the bottom of the pot should be covered with a tile piece to ensure smooth drainage. From March to August, apply a light fertilizer once every one to two weeks.
2. Temperature
When growing anthurium at home, the temperature should be kept as stable as possible. The suitable growing temperature is between 20-30°C. It begins dormancy after late autumn, but the room temperature must not be lower than 15°C, and low temperatures should be avoided. High temperatures should also be avoided, as growth is poor under high temperatures.
3. Light
Normal growth of the anthurium requires sufficient scattered light. For home cultivation, the general points to note are: in summer, avoid direct strong light on the leaves and flowers; in autumn and winter, when conditions permit, move it near a window to increase light exposure. The plant also needs to be rotated regularly to ensure it receives even light and to promote a full, rounded crown shape.
4. Humidity
The anthurium likes relatively high air humidity, and normal growth requires about 70% air humidity, which is generally difficult to achieve in ordinary home cultivation. You can use a clean damp towel to wipe the leaves several times a day, or spray water around the plant regularly to increase air humidity. You can frequently spray water on the plant and the ground around it. After flowering, avoid splashing water on the flowers.
Life tip:
Children should not touch or eat it
The anthurium is toxic. If its sap is accidentally ingested, it will cause a burning pain in the mouth, as well as swelling and blistering, and the throat and voice will become hoarse and strained, with difficulty swallowing. If poisoning occurs, you can use cooling liquids, painkiller pills, or find some licorice-type and linseed foods to swallow, which can relieve the pain.
