Enough to endure black leaves on " Man's Happiness": especially since it is very simple to fix the mistake

Do you want to admire the beautiful anthurium without these disgusting black tips of leaves? Then a fiery fireworks, comrade indoor florist! Today on the agenda is the analysis of the root causes of the sad situation and the sure way to save "Man's Happiness". Which, in general, is an unpretentious flower.

Why do anthurium leaves turn black?

No matter how much one would like to justify the problem as an inevitable factor - dry air - the point is not at all in it. Look at a dense sheet of anthurium, touch it: the glossy protective film will not allow any significant loss of moisture.

The black tips of the anthurium are always not quite suitable for the anthurium planting and irrigation schedule.. And the sooner a citizen recognizes this unpleasant fact for himself, it will be better. For both!

The tip of the anthurium turns black when the roots begin to rot. Rot occurs when the soil in the pot is constantly wet.

Healthy anthurium soil

The main problem is heavy soil. After watering, it becomes like clay, not giving the roots a chance to breathe. Constant contact with water is always rotten roots. Hence, the black tips of the leaves.

Science says: Anthurium is by nature a semi-epiphyte. He can hang in trees pretending to be an orchid. Once again, it confirms that the swamp under the feet of "Man's Happiness" is alien.

Comrade! Make a normal high-peat soil or at least a commercially available universal soil for indoor plants. If possible, buy a package "For azaleas" or any other slightly acidic product: yes, anthurium loves acidic.

Add a baking powder: pine bark for orchids or perlite. They will create additional channels for air flow to the roots. For semi-epiphyte, the looseness of the soil is more important than for other indoor flowers!

Note to a friend: Pine bark will also slightly acidify the soil. What suits you and me.

Watering healthy anthurium

Once a month, you can replace watering with a shower or rain outside

If a citizen takes care of the quality of the soil for his plant, then he has more room for error. However, anthurium, as a resident of tropical forests, generally loves high humidity, permanent wet ground results in black tips.

From experience: In the summer, I often take Livium out into the yard when it rains. He likes! But then I definitely let the pot dry.
  • Anthuriums are watered only when the top layer has dried in the pot by 1-2 cm, depending on the height of the dishes.
  • It is not necessary to pour so that the water reaches the sump. Imagine a cutaway pot: when the top layer is dry, the bottom is still wet.
  • Water the anturum with a little sour water once a month if you water it from the tap.

Action plan of the action "No to black tips"

Wipe the leaves of anthurium so that they are free of dust

  • Transplant. Not in spring, not on a suitable day according to the lunar calendar, God forgive me, but right now.
  • If you find rotten roots during transplantation, cut them off, and soak the entire root system for half an hour in a solution of Fundazol or another fungicide: it will stop the rot.
  • Take the pot to fit, not grow. To arrange a bay in a bucket is more likely, because the roots simply do not drink from the bottom of the container and it is always, always wet there.
  • Make a primer with at least some baking powder. Once again, I advise you to take the bark.
  • Learn to water as needed, not in reserve or because it seemed like it's time.

Surely there are people planting anthuriums in the ground from the garden and watering both in the tail and in the mane. And telling that everything is good (though it is not known how long this "good" will last).

Yes, there are exceptions to every rule. But! It seems to me illogical to plant anthurium in obviously unsuitable soil. Is it so difficult to buy bark and universal soil? I do not believe. Showing stubbornness, you should not expect some kind of response from the unfortunate flower.

Do you like Anthurium and was this article helpful? Press, comrade, "Thumbs up"!
Sincerely yours, happy man Fyodor Tyapkin-Sklyankin.
