Anthurium - exotic tropical plant

The second name of this amazing flower is "Man's Happiness". It is associated with a sign that the plant attracts life partners to the home of single women, and gives men male strength and health. It helps married couples to maintain peace and love.

With proper care, anthurium blooms very often, but in the absence of attention, this capricious plant withers and quickly dies. Therefore, only the most unpretentious varieties are grown as a room culture. However, for the sake of such beauty, it is worth trying and learning everything about how to make friends with anthurium.

Care

This flower comes from the humid forests of southern America, so this plant is picky enough when grown indoors.

It is quite difficult to create the level of humidity in the apartment that the anthurium needs. However, experienced florists successfully grow a flower and achieve abundant flowering from it. Following a number of rules, and you will cope with the cultivation of anthurium.

One of the most important conditions for the successful cultivation of anthurium is that the flowerpot should never be placed in a draft. Even in intense heat, anthurium does not tolerate a draft.

Illumination

All types of anthuriums do not tolerate direct sunlight, which can be detrimental to them. It is advisable to put the flowerpot in a place where there is diffused lighting. In summer, the flower must be shaded, but on short winter days, the flower will have to be additionally illuminated with artificial light.

The soil

Anthuriums grow well in loose, well-permeable soil with a slightly acidic reaction. Under no circumstances should the soil be caked and strongly compacted. Usually, such a soil mixture is mixed for anthuriums - peat, sphagnum moss, turf in a ratio of 2: 2: 1. You can also add chopped pine bark to loosen the soil. This flower grows well in wet hydroponics.

Temperature

In summer, the bush can survive an increase in temperature up to +28. In winter, it is desirable to reduce the room temperature to +16 degrees.

It is important to avoid any sudden temperature changes. In order for the flower to bloom earlier, already from January, you can increase the temperature to +25.

Humidity

It is desirable that the room is rather humid, because the plant comes from the tropics. Organizing tropical conditions in an apartment is not as difficult as it might seem at first glance. It is enough to put a humidifier next to the flowerpot. It is especially important to humidify the air during the heating season.

Another option for increasing the humidity is to regularly spray the flower. Spraying is adored by all types of anthurium without exception. But you cannot spray the flower in direct sunlight, otherwise you will burn the leaves.

Watering

In the summer, the plant should be watered very often and abundantly - every two to three days. It is necessary to carefully monitor that the earthen lump in the pot does not dry out in any case. In winter, watering is reduced and make sure that there is no water in the pan under the flowerpot, otherwise the roots of the anthurium can rot.

Top dressing

Periodically, this flower needs to be fed. Anthuriums are very responsive to the application of mineral and organic fertilizers. You can feed the plant with special compounds specifically for anthuriums.All mixtures for indoor flowering are well suited.

Top dressing is applied only in spring and summer, since the flower is actively growing during this period. It is enough to make the compositions once every two weeks.

What many novice growers consider the only petal of a flower is actually not one. This is the so-called bracts or bracts, which gives the plant a decorative effect.

Transfer

Young specimens of this plant need an annual transplant.Adult bushes are simply transferred to a larger flowerpot every three years. The transplant of pink anthurium is carried out during the period of active growth from February to the end of summer.

Anthuriums really do not like moisture stagnation, and therefore, when transplanting in a flowerpot, you need to make a thick drainage layer. Chipped red brick, expanded clay or pebbles can be used as drainage. If you do not arrange drainage, then the plant can get sick with root rot, and the substrate will also sour strongly.

When transplanting, it is necessary to very carefully handle the roots, since they are very fragile in anthuriums and easily break.

The best flower pot is a plastic one, since it is easier to achieve a temperature balance in a plastic container than when using ceramic flowerpots. If you buy a blooming anthurium, then you need to transplant it only after the end of flowering.

Reproduction

Male happiness can be "multiplied" by dividing an adult plant into several parts or by rooting cuttings.

The first method is used when transplanting into another pot. In this case, the bush is carefully divided so that each part has its own roots. They are seated in separate containers, as described above.

Split bush

When grafting from anthurium, young stems with 2-3 leaves are cut off and planted in a mixture of sand and peat, deepening by 5 cm. The container with cuttings is transferred to a warm place and shaded. During the month, while rooting takes place, it is necessary to keep the substrate moist and spray the leaves. The appearance of young leaves will tell about the formation of roots.

Lush flowering conditions

If conditions are favorable, then anthurium can bloom almost all year round. If there is no flowering, then it means that the grower made some mistakes:

If the rest period is not observed, then the bush may not bloom. In order for the flower to lay flower buds of the next year, it needs coolness in winter. The desired temperature is about + 15-16 degrees. It is also important to reduce watering for the winter.
In winter and autumn, you should never feed this flower. You can only start the application of nutritional mixtures from February.
If the flower lacks natural light, it may simply not bloom. This is especially important in winter, when the daylight hours are short. It is necessary to highlight the plant additionally with phytolamps.
If the flowerpot is selected incorrectly, then the anthurium may also not throw away the buds. In a voluminous flowerpot, the flower may not tie buds. Until the roots fill the entire volume of the flowerpot, anthurium will not bloom in an overly spacious pot. In this case, a transplant into a tighter pot is required.
In the old soil, anthurium will feel very bad, because the old soil is poor in nutrients. The substrate needs to be renewed annually so that the plant has enough food for setting and distilling the buds.
Too low temperatures can also prevent the anthurium from blooming. Starting in February, for the plant, they begin to gradually increase the temperature of the content.
During the flowering period, it is necessary to cut off all wilted buds.

Questions and answers

Why doesn't bloom come?
If the conditions of keeping are fully met, it is necessary to make sure that the container is not too large when the plant is gaining green mass to the detriment of flowering.
Why do anthurium leaves turn yellow?
Improper watering or incorrectly selected fertilizer concentrations lead to the acquisition of yellow leaves. If you eliminate these errors, but the crown does not turn green, then you need to add iron to the feeding.

Possible problems

Although anthurium care at home is not so difficult, the plant can still be capricious. It is important to constantly monitor the flower so that it develops well and is healthy.

Yellowing of leaves

Very often, inexperienced growers complain that the leaves on their anthuriums begin to turn yellow. Yellow foliage is the most common problem. The reason may be improper care, the onset of chlorosis, sunburns and fungi. Also, yellowing of the leaves can begin due to too low temperature or fungal diseases.

First of all, when the leaves turn yellow, attention should be paid to watering the plant. Perhaps the flower simply does not have enough moisture or the water for irrigation is too hard. This plant needs to be watered only with soft water, for which it is defended or boiled. Maybe the plant lacks fertilizer or the flower is in the sun.

If the cause of the yellowing of the leaves is an onset of the disease, then urgent action is needed. First you need to determine what exactly the anthurium is sick with. Chlorosis can be determined by looking at the foliage. With chlorosis, only the foliage turns yellow, and all the veins remain green. With chlorosis, the plant is irrigated with iron chelate or a solution on algae.

Another reason for the yellowing of the leaves can be hidden in fungal diseases. Usually the plant gets sick with a fungus due to sudden changes in temperature. It is enough to spray the flower with special preparations and adjust the temperature in the room.

Insects and parasites are very dangerous for anthuriums. Very often, the leaves turn yellow precisely because of the attacks of insect pests. If a scabbard attacks the flower, then it will have to be treated with insecticides and cleaned. The scale insects are quite difficult to notice and the plant looks quite healthy for the first time after their attack. If thrips attack, they are also destroyed with insecticides. If the plant is attacked by pests, then it must be isolated from healthy flowers until it recovers.
