Flower Men's happiness, or Anthurium - step by step instructions, how to sit, tips for follow-up care

This is an amazing flamingo flower (! Another popular name) about 3 years growing up safely in his pot on my windowsill, and then one day - has grown into a majestic bush.

Theoretically, anthurium can not touch with reproduction and up to 4 years, the main thing - do not overdo the well-formed root system to close the old "home".

And of course, after the seating of the Masculine is always possible to share happiness with friends - caring for young plants is surprisingly simple, so that the gift will not cause trouble.

The best time for seating - the end of February-beginning of March, when anthurium "dormant" at rest. But you can still do it from March to August, the main thing - that the air was very humid and the air temperature does not exceed the mark of 25 ° C. Personally, I have successfully seated flower in July.

Due to the shallow root system beneath the pot luck Men can choose a height of only 14-18 cm. Recommended diameter - 15-20 cm. And what is interesting - wider Men happiness in a pot actively growing offspring (children), but in the capacity to make room - quickly blossoms.

Clay pot for anthurium should be glazed inner walls - not to have grown strong roots in them. Another mandatory item - drainage holes to drain excess water.

Soil pH should be 5.5-6.5 fluffy, light and nutrient, can take composition intended for orchids, begonias (I taken from the remaining planting azaleas). Turf ground - does not fit categorically, because due to it can "suffocate" the roots.

Seating anthurium in detail

So that the plant is well caught in a new place, it is important to seating arrangements in the correct order:

· 30 minutes before seating generously pour Men's happiness;

· To facilitate the extraction of the plant from the pot, tap on their walls;

· Shake off from the roots of the substrate and gently untangle them;

· Remove, if you find dried, diseased and dead roots;

· If the roots are damaged or had to use a knife to separate them - sprinkle "wounds" charcoal powder;

· Put the plant in the 1-hour paper on the window sill to ventilate the roots and dried out in the open air;

· Separate the children from the outside of the bush;

· Will land divided by potted plants, making sure that the growing point was after landing on the ground.

Care after seating

Personal experience suggested that the first time after seating anthurium needs two things:

· An air temperature within + 20-24 ° C;

· Diffuse sunlight.

We can say that the two main factors that ensure its good survival in the new location.

Watering is necessary on as the top layer of soil dries. To increase the humidity is useful to "hide" the earth in a pot with coconut fiber and even spray the plant.

But fertilizer is better to wait - they make possible only through 2-2,5 months after transplantation. Suit cow dung diluted with water or bird droppings.
