How to make a "hot" shower for Anthurium ("Man's Happiness") so that it blooms in a month
Do you want to make your anthurium finally bloom decently? Then a fiery fireworks, greedy anthurium breeder! Today on the agenda is an effective "Hot Soul" procedure, which helps plants to bloom faster.
You've probably heard of her already. But I will talk about the nuances of this event and the subsequent actions aimed not at overall development, but at exactly what you want - the release of new inflorescences.
Step # 1: make sure your anthurium is healthy
On diseased plants, it is not that flowering cannot be stimulated. It must not be allowed! Comrade, if your anthurium turns black leaf by leaf, deal with this first (a small tip - most likely, the roots are rotting). If your "Man's Happiness" is covered with a tick, finally buy a powerful acaricide, or better - a couple. Just don't confuse it with an insecticide!
Step number 2: dry the soil, but avoid drought
I will say right away that we will water the anthurium entirely. And the soil will be thoroughly wetted.
Therefore, the procedure is best done when the houseplant ALREADY needs watering.. I advise you to wait patiently until 2-3 cm from above is dry - poke it with a wooden stick. Just do not turn anthurium into a biscuit: for "Male happiness" there is nothing worse than the loss of roots.
Friendly tip: Let's combine the pleasant with the beautiful? Before bathing, cut off any old flower stalks and remove dry leaves from the plant. The result is a double visual transformation effect. A light haircut will give the anthurium an additional incentive to start developing more actively.
Step number 3: What is good for you is good for anthurium
And now the most important thing is the water temperature. Do not take the name "Hot Soul" literally and pour boiling water over the pot.
Comrade, adjust the shower so that your hand can tolerate water. Keep in mind that while the jets reach from the watering can to the plant, additional cooling occurs. Therefore, use your hand-thermometer at a distance from which you will water the anthurium, and not placing your palm at close range.
Hot water - creates a slight stress effect. And he, as you know, becomes the best flowering stimulant. Bath procedures activate growth: you will see that new leaves or even shoots will appear soon. And in general, "Man's Happiness" will look more fun.
Step # 4: Spill the anthurium
It is often written that water should not fall on the ground. That he will freeze and everything is gone. And the plant must be tilted. You know, with small plants it will work. And the big ones - I have been watering and pouring from above for a long time, and nothing happens to them.
Particularly impressionable citizens can try to wrap the surface of the soil with polyethylene and spend an extra 15 minutes. But in this case, and in the case of the tilt of the plant, water still falls on the ground. Therefore, I gave up such monkey work a long time ago.
Question to the audience: How do you bathe the plants?
Water the anthurium evenly, at the same time wiping the leaves from dust and streaks from spraying. Well, it looks better already, right?
Step # 4: Stimulating Flowering - Additional Measures
Now is the time to add top dressing. Dilute the complex mineral fertilizer according to the instructions "For blooming" (not for cacti, not humates, but just that!) and spill the flower well again. You can also spray on the leaves - the effect will come faster. Water immediately on wet soil - it is still wet through and through.
Note to a friend: If you shower frequently (about 1 time per month), streams of tap water will wash nutrients out of the soil. Therefore, you must add additional fertilizing after the procedure.
Put the anthurium in a bright place. In winter, you can even go to the south window, where you cannot put a flower in summer because of the risk of getting burned leaves. Now the sun is not so aggressive, and it will become the key to a set of buds.
According to my observations, in about a month you will be able to see new bundles of bright flowers. Try it too - everything will work out!
Was it helpful? Press, comrade, "Thumbs up"!
