Anthurium growing methods and precautions

The flamingo flower is a very beautiful plant. The flamingo flower is relatively thick, and the candle leaves are oval, with extremely high ornamental value. The fiery red candles look very festive and will be used on many auspicious occasions. Are candles poisonous?

How to water flowers

Candles need to be watered according to the moisture level of the potting soil. The current temperature is gradually rising. Pay special attention to the issue of watering flowers. It is usually recommended to pour water every two days. At noon, it is better to use a spray system. Leave the candles and spray some mist to increase the humidity of the air, and spraying water mist on the candle leaves also helps clean the candle leaves and makes the candles look brighter. In winter, the temperature is very low. At this time, it is recommended to pour water every 5-7 days. When it is cold, watering should be controlled between 9:00 am and 4:00 pm to avoid freezing the roots. Generally, flowers can be watered every three days in spring and autumn. It is better for flamingo flowers to be regular. In cases of extreme water shortage, watering must be avoided, which will affect the normal growth and development of the flamingo flower. During the watering process, pay attention to alternating dry and wet, and control the time and cycle of watering.

Flamingo flower planting methods

1. Soil. The soil in which candles grow must maintain good permeability, and the soil is mainly composed of anhydrous material. It is better to plant cultivation soil in a home garden, add some ceramsite and dry tree bark to the substrate, with the ratio between them being ceramsite: dry tree bark = 2:1 as the substrate, and the substrate should be sterilized before planting. Prevent flowers from being damaged during the planting process.

2. Temperature. Flamingo flowers are more suitable for growing in a warm environment. Usually, the growth temperature of flamingo flowers is controlled between 14-35 degrees. The temperature in winter is very low. When the temperature of the candle is below 10 degrees, it is easy to cause red frost. Therefore, special attention should be paid to keeping candles warm in winter. In summer, when the temperature is above 35 degrees, candles must be humidified in time and water should be sprayed around the candles. Even if the temperature is very high, the candles are not easily damaged.

Fertilization. Compared with other foliage plants, flamingo flowers have a relatively large demand for magnesium fertilizer. If it is a native plant, if you are fertilizing, you can go to a garden store to buy some Kang fertilizer and foliar fertilizer. Or directly use a multi-purpose general water-soluble compound fertilizer, dilute it into 800-1000 times liquid fertilizer for conventional application, and pay attention to no less than 1 time per week. The principle of flower fertilization should follow less fertilization and fertilization.

Are candles poisonous?

Candle flowers have mild toxins, but if you do not eat them, you will not be poisoned. But be careful to wash your hands every time you prune the leaves, because the candle's poison mainly comes from its juice, and it is fine when you prune it. Flamingo flowers belong to the Araceae family, and most are poisonous. When planting candles, be careful not to come into close contact with candles. There is no problem. Flamingo flowers grown indoors have mild toxins, and it is better to grow them outdoors. A safe place.

1 High temperature and high humidity. The suitable growth temperature for flamingo flowers is about 25°C, and the winter temperature cannot be lower than 15°C. Air humidity requirements are also high, and they cannot grow well in a dry air environment, but the soil should not be too wet. In order to increase the humidity of the air, a water basin should be placed around the potted candle to increase the humidity of the air, or water should be sprayed regularly and water should be sprayed onto the ground.

2 Culture substrate. The potting soil for potted flamingo flowers must be well ventilated and well drained. Ceramsite, peat, sphagnum moss, coke or fern roots can be used as the culture substrate.

3 Watering and fertilizing. The potting soil is good between dry and wet, and watering should be timely during the growing season. In early spring and late autumn, the amount of watering should be properly controlled; during the growth period, a compound liquid fertilizer should be applied once every 2 weeks for growth.

4 Pay attention to light intensity. The flamingo flower is a shade-loving plant, avoid direct sunlight. It only needs scattered light in the morning and evening, so potted candles should be placed with attention.

5 Expectation. Usually repot once every 12 years, which can be done in early spring. When turning the pot, old roots and dead roots should be cut off, base fertilizer should be applied, and a new culture medium should be placed.

Its inability to tolerate drought requires us to give it sufficient water when raising it, and water it once every two to three days. Choosing tap water is most suitable for the growth of crystal candles. Natural rainwater is also a good source of planting water. It can be placed outdoors when it rains. Be sure to maintain high air humidity, especially when the summer temperature is particularly high. Winter watering should be done directly between 9:00 am and 4:00 pm. When the temperature is higher, frostbite can be avoided when the temperature is too low.

Lighting is a very important point. Too weak or too strong light cannot affect the final growth. Too weak will make the final growth not strong enough. If the light is too strong, it will cause the leaves to change color and be exposed to strong light. On sunny days, 75% of the light should be covered. There is no need to shade in the morning. The demand for light also differs at different periods. When it blooms, the requirement for light is relatively low, and it can avoid light to prevent the light from being too strong.

It is most suitable to maintain the temperature at 30°C. If the summer temperature is too high, it can be sprayed or atomized to increase the humidity in the air and avoid damage caused by excessive temperature. In winter, if the indoor temperature is lower than 15°C, the temperature needs to be raised to avoid frost damage and protect it from winter. Because the surface of the leaves has a waxy layer, it is difficult to absorb fertilizer well, so fertilizing the roots is much better. The fertilization time is generally better chosen between 8:00 am and 5:00 pm, but fertilization should be carried out between 9:00 am and 4:00 pm in winter or early spring. Note that two hours after fertilization, spray water on the leaves and rinse off the fertilizer left on the leaves to ensure the leaves are clean and avoid breeding algae.

During its growth, it is easy to grow some small buds. If they are not removed, the nutrients of the flamingo flower will be absorbed, so when these small buds appear, they must be removed in time.
