I some years am a happy owner of two different color - the traditional red (pictured above) and pink (photo lay out below). People who believe in omens, like to emphasize that the flower brings "male happiness" strong floor and prosperity in the house.

We need to dance from here and bring care to the middle.
I'll start with the main
Priming. In anthurium growing only in the usual ground, more chances to die or take a disgusting appearance. We need a substrate that can be permanently a little humid, but at the same time, be air.
I am preparing the ground for anthurium, taking:
- 2 parts peat (you can replace conventional and ground);
- 2 crust (Phalaenopsis borrow from the cultivation-epiphytes) which will create a void filled with air;
- 1 part sphagnum moss, which will store and deliver moisture gradually.
I am sure that such a mixture can anthurium and absorb moisture, its rightful tropical origin, and "breathe".
How not to pour Anthurium: balance of moisture and air. Just like in the rainforest
It is a mistake to think that if Anthurium likes to drink, it must be constantly watered. In combination with the conventional soil will lead to rot.
The ideal soil - always a little humid, but without stagnation of water (here once more stress the importance of good air permeability). At the bottom of the required drainage and, of course, the hole. I water, when the upper layer of dry 2 cm. But I have a big pot, a small watering should be more frequent.
Conditions of detention

In the summer he was "burned" I do not even on the east window. Now, in the warmer months I use or shading (mirror film), or put the pot with anturimom on the high rack in the window of tulle.
- Air temperature - not below 16 ° C. Men's happiness is very heat-loving!
- feeding: Mandatory from April to October (average band) or year-round (if the flower is under the lights). In simple terms, anthurium constantly fertilize until it is actively growing. I alternating fertilizer for flowering with organics (3-1).
Sometimes the owners of anthuriums complain: "With my flower happened something terrible!", Attaching a photo strung out plants with aerial roots.
