Conditions for growing anthurium

When growing anthurium, keep the following in mind:

  • the flower loves warmth and humidity;
  • anthurium does not tolerate shade;
  • the plant pot should be spacious, but not cramped.

The climate in the room should be as close to tropical as possible.

Temperature

The air temperature in the room in summer should be at least 24 degrees, ideally 26. In winter, 16 - 18 degrees is enough. If the temperature is lower, the plant will “go into hibernation” and will not bloom or develop.

Lighting

Anthurium should be grown in a well-lit place. It is advisable that there are no other indoor plants near the flower, because insect pests can move from them to the anthurium. It is best to choose a window facing south or east for growing.

Air humidity

In order for the flower to develop normally, it is necessary to maintain a humidity level in the apartment of at least 75 percent. If the air is dry, as is often the case when central heating is on, you should purchase a humidifier.

Priming

Anthurium is not demanding on the composition of the soil; the soil and substrate can be anything. It is best to buy them in specialized stores for indoor floriculture. The plant grows and develops well in soil with a neutral acid-base balance.

Pot

It is best to choose a regular ceramic pot for growing with a hole at the bottom to allow excess moisture to escape to prevent soil rotting. At the very bottom you need to lay a drainage layer of expanded clay. The main requirement for the pot is great depth, since anthurium has a developed root system.

Place

The anthurium should be placed in a well-lit place, preferably on a wide windowsill and so that shadows from other indoor plants do not fall on it. In summer, when it is very hot, you can take the flower out onto the balcony, but remove it in the evening when it gets cold.

Anthurium care at home

The list of basic care activities includes:

  • regular watering;
  • fertilizing with mineral fertilizers;
  • transfer.

It is also necessary to carry out systematic prevention of diseases and pests.

Watering

In winter, the flower is watered once every three days, in summer - once every two days. But, if the soil dries out quickly, you can moisten it daily. In addition to watering, the foliage should be sprayed with a spray bottle.

Top dressing

The plant must be fed once every three months with complex mineral fertilizers for indoor flowers. Ash can be added monthly as a valuable source of potassium. At any time, fertilizing with eggshells and tea leaves from drinking tea gives good results.

Trimming

It is strictly forbidden to prune during the flowering period. You need to cut from top to bottom at an angle. For highly branched plants, it is necessary to form a crown; for small compact bushes, it is enough to trim dry leaves.

Transfer

Transplantation is carried out every three years. The main thing is not to damage the branched root system. Immediately after transplanting, the flower needs to be watered. You can put a layer of moss in a new pot to retain moisture.

Rejuvenation

If the flower is already old, it can be rejuvenated. To do this, you need to trim off the tops and side shoots. But it would be best to remove the top part and leave the trunk with roots in the same place. This method is quite effective.

Features of Anthurium propagation

The most popular methods of propagation are cuttings and dividing the bush. In order for the plant to take root, you must follow the watering schedule and monitor the temperature in the apartment.

Growing from seeds

Growing anthurium from seeds is a rather labor-intensive and time-consuming method. Usually it is used only by professional breeders to develop new varieties. The seeds do not germinate well at home.

Cuttings

A small shoot is cut from the green part of the plant and planted in a new pot. You can also use a leaf or aerial roots as a cutting. Immediately after transplanting a young plant, it is necessary to water it, and the next day add mineral fertilizer. The cuttings take root well.

Dividing the bush

The mother bush is watered abundantly before propagation. When dividing, you need to make sure that each part has at least one leaf and a growing point. Shoots should be planted at the same depth as they were previously.

Leaf

To propagate by leaf, you need to take an adult plant and cut a large leaf from it; the recommended length of the cutting is up to 4 cm. The leaf is rolled into a tube and planted in pre-moistened soil with a drainage layer. Exactly a third of the leaf should remain on the surface.

Appendage

Anthurium can be propagated by children. To do this, you need to carefully separate the small shoot from other children and plant it in a pre-prepared nutrient mixture. The soil should be slightly moist and loose. Usually the kids get along well.

Bloom

Anthurium is a plant that under natural conditions can bloom almost all year round.However, in order for it to please with its flowers at home, it is necessary to create an appropriate microclimate in the apartment, maintain humidity and temperature conditions.

Timing and duration

Typically, at home, the flowering time of anthurium is about four weeks, no more, usually July - August, when the weather is hottest. First, only the stigmas appear, then the stamens; the bedspread can change its color.

Features of care during flowering

During flowering, replanting and loosening is prohibited. Watering, on the contrary, should be increased; It is possible to moisten the soil once a day as it dries out. It is strictly forbidden to treat with chemicals against diseases and pests.

Doesn't bloom

If the anthurium does not bloom, you can force it to do so by increasing the air humidity using a humidifier. Complex mineral fertilizing gives a good effect. The lighting should be bright but diffuse.

Small flowers

If the flowers become smaller, it means the plant is not receiving enough nutrients. The way out is complex mineral supplementation. Preference should be given to fertilizers with a high content of nitrogen and potassium.

The color has changed

It happens that the anthurium's plume suddenly begins to turn green, although previously it was red or green. In this case, most likely, the plant is affected by a viral infection. It is recommended to carry out preventive treatment with an industrially produced antiviral agent.

Flowers don't open

If flowers appear but do not open completely, watering should be increased, preventing the soil in the pot from completely drying out.After flowering, the plant should be transplanted into a more spacious pot.

Mistakes in flower care

The most common mistakes of novice gardeners when growing anthurium:

  • rare watering;
  • keeping in the shade;
  • dry air in the apartment.

These mistakes negatively affect the size and appearance of the flowers and reduce the flowering period.

Main diseases of anthurium

The flower's root begins to rot, the stem dries up, and the leaves fall off and turn yellow. For prevention, it is necessary to regularly loosen the soil, preventing moisture stagnation. For treatment, use the spray "Trichofit".

Root rot

Externally, signs of the disease are manifested by yellowing of the leaves and drying out of the trunk, as well as the absence of flowers and berries. As a treatment, it is necessary to transplant the flower into another pot - where the soil is not infected.

Powdery mildew

This disease can lead to the complete death of the flower. Visually, it manifests itself as a white coating on the leaves and stem.For prevention, you should regularly loosen the soil; treatment is by spraying with any fungicide for indoor flowers.

Enatsi

For treatment, it is necessary to reduce watering and, at the first opportunity, transplant the plant into another pot, having previously treated the soil in it with an antiseptic.

Chlorosis

With this disease, the leaves of the flower begin to turn yellow. If the leaves turn yellow and the flower dies, in order to stop the disease, you need to move the flower closer to sunlight and apply a complex fertilizer mix containing iron.

Plant pox

Yellow spots in the form of rings appear on the leaves, and the anthurium stops growing and developing. To combat the disease, fertilizing should be increased, then the plant will cope with the virus on its own without additional drugs.

Common pests of anthurium

Anthurium is often affected by scale insects, aphids and other dangerous insects. Affected leaves and stems should be removed and burned to completely destroy the parasites. There are several varieties that are most resistant to insects, such as Black Queen and Pink Champion.

Spider mite

Spider mites can be recognized by a peculiar thin coating on the leaves; In the soil, when loosened, you can find the insects themselves and the eggs they lay. To remove mites, you need to wash the plant with a special insecticidal soap.

Aphid

If the leaves have turned yellow and the flower is not growing well, there is probably an aphid in the anthurium and eating its leaves. To combat this insect, you should use the systemic insecticide “Malathion”, spraying according to the instructions.

Thrips

Thrips is an insect that bites into the thickness of leaves and practically does not crawl to the surface. The pest can be recognized by small black dots on the leaves. To combat thrips, it is necessary to increase watering and spray the plant daily with a spray bottle.

Shchitovka

If a flower is affected by scale insects, it has sticky leaves that are unpleasant to the touch; up close you can see the pest eggs on them. For treatment, it is necessary to replant the plant and spray it with a solution of the drug "Aktar".

 

Whitefly

When whitefly infests, the leaves become sticky and yellow. Up close you can see the small yellowish larvae of the pest. Treatment is cutting off the affected leaves and treating with Iskra.

Nematodes

When infected by a nematode, the leaves and stem dry out and the plant quickly begins to wither. For treatment, it is necessary to transplant into a pot with pre-disinfected soil and spray the flower with Inta-vir.

Mealybug

The leaves become sticky and holes gnawed by the pest are visible on them. In order to destroy the scale insect, you can use any industrially produced insecticide and spray the anthurium according to the instructions. A transplant is also recommended.

Common problems when growing

Problems when growing anthurium are most often caused by insufficient feeding and incorrect temperature conditions. You should also check the humidity in the room.

With leaves

If the leaves of the plant dry out or turn yellow, you should increase watering and carry out emergency feeding. These measures will help compensate for the lack of nutrients. You should also inspect the flower for pests.

Turn yellow

If the leaves turn yellow, the plant lacks potassium. Ash can be added as an organic fertilizer or the flower can be fed with a complex composition for indoor plants. Additionally, loosening should be done.

The tips dry out

It happens that the edges of the leaf blades of the flower begin to dry out a lot. In this case, you should check the humidity in the room. If it is insufficient, you should buy a humidifier, and the problem will be solved. It is not difficult to revive the plant.

Curl

Curling of leaves is a sign of lack of heat. This often happens in winter. In this case, you should turn on a heater in the room or place a table lamp next to the flower for heating. In summer, you need to move the flower closer to the sun's rays.

Spots

Brown and rare yellow spots on buds or leaves are signs of rust. At first, the leaves simply become dark and dry, then, if the problem is not solved, black spots appear, and the rust moves from the leaves to the root. The reason is excess moisture. The solution is to reduce air humidity and watering.

Pale

The leaves and stem turn pale due to lack of nutrients. The solution is complex and regular feeding. You can also transplant into a more spacious and suitable pot, then you can save the flower.

With roots

Anthorium has a developed and powerful, but vulnerable root system. If you touch the root during transplantation, the flower may die. Any problems with the roots are very dangerous.

Aerial roots

If the flower has aerial roots under the leaves, it means that it is time to transplant and propagate the plant. The top of the stem with aerial roots needs to be rooted, it is cut off and transplanted into another pot.After this, be sure to water thoroughly.

The roots are rotting

Root rot is often the result of a fungal infection. To solve the problem, spraying with fungicides is used. Replanting to remove the rotten part of the roots also helps.

With barrel

You can determine the condition of a flower by its trunk. If the trunk becomes brittle and brittle, and the leaves on the trunk fall off, then the flower is sick and needs treatment.

The trunk is exposed

Bareness of the trunk is a sign of a lack of iron and sunlight. Comprehensive feeding and moving the anthurium to a window that faces the sunny side will help.

The trunk stretched out

It happens that the trunk stretches disproportionately. In this case, the plant lacks potassium and calcium. As a top dressing, you can use complex fertilizers, as well as tea leaves and eggshells.

Withers

Wilting of the trunk is a sign of a fungal or viral infection. To solve the problem, spraying with a fungicide or antiviral agent for indoor plants, for example, Inta-vir, is required.

Crying

It happens that moisture appears on the leaves of the anthurium. When such drops of water appear, it seems as if the flower is crying. This is normal after heavy watering; the reason is that the plant gets rid of excess water. There is no need to treat this condition. If the room has dry air, the plant will not cry.

Poisonousness of the flower

All parts of the plant are poisonous. If a person eats an anthurium berry, it will lead to serious poisoning. It is strictly forbidden to keep the plant in the house if there are children or pets there.

Superstitions and legends

There are many legends and superstitions associated with anthurium. It is believed that this flower gives health and material well-being.At the same time, it can accumulate negative energy.

For women

It is believed that anthurium will help an unmarried woman meet her soulmate and become pregnant. To do this, it is advisable to plant a flower with a red or pink cover. For example, the Pink Champion variety is suitable.

For men

Anthurium gives men strength and health, and also helps the stronger sex to enjoy success with women at any age. But for this you need to properly care for the flower. If the anthurium is in poor condition, it loses its magical properties.

Anthurium in the interior

This flower looks good if it stands separately from other indoor plants. If there are two pots of anthurium on the windowsill, it is advisable that they be varieties with covers of a similar shade. The varieties that look most impressive are those in which the flower and cover contrast with each other in color.

Anthurium and spathiphyllum together

In order for prosperity and well-being to reign in the family, you can plant spathiphyllum next to the anthurium - a flower that personifies female happiness. In this case, the positive energy of the anthurium will double. In addition, both flowers look harmonious side by side.
