The anthurium and care that they require, they are the obsession of plant lovers since they want to see them bloom in all their splendor.
Anthuriums (anthurium) are a species that has long been known as the flower of love, due to the heart shape in which some of its varieties sprout.
Although it is a plant that is usually seen in many homes, its care, like that of the kalanchoe, requires some specific recommendations to keep it in the best condition. Here we tell you everything you need to know:
Anthurium plant care
Being a tropical plant, it requires a humid space for it to flourish healthy:
- It needs to be planted in warm temperatures, without sudden changes and in abundant environmental humidity.
- It is best to avoid direct sunlight, so next to a window it will be very good.
- Although it resists well outdoors, its ideal place is inside homes.
Anthurium potted care
Being indoors, you must keep it moist but taking care not to overwater it, so adding water 3 or 4 times a week will be enough. The pot should be wide and provide bottom drainage for its roots to aerate; the soil in which you plant it should be black and use fertilizer every 15 days, approximately.
How to pay the anthurium?
The ideal option is to use fertilizers with high Potassium loads every 1 or 2 months, since this substance promotes proper flowering. You can find these fertilizers in any nursery and a special suggestion is to use a lower dose than that indicated by the manufacturer.
If you are in tropical areas, you may notice that its flowering occurs constantly at different times of the year. In cooler climatic conditions, it will surely sprout in the spring or summer, times of greater warmth.
Its flowers can last up to two months, as long as you take care of them with the indicated water irrigation and allowing them to live in the most favorable climates for them.
It may be that you are not using the right substrate and because of this, the roots would not be moist enough. The anthurium is known to be a very sensitive plant, so changing pots can make it a bit uncomfortable and make it miss its old habitat.
