Anthurium ( "Man's happiness") will bloom like crazy. I brought 4 rules
Anthurium is popularly called the "male happiness." Florists loved his bright red flowering seed pans. Fashion for anthurium is not spared and me in my house growing a couple of instances. Over time I have learned to deal with tropical guest so that it blooms almost all year round without stopping. Today I decided to share their experience with you!
To make it easier to view the article, I combined the information into 4 small but meaningful unit. Enjoy reading! 💐
Flower happiness: "female" and "male". What is the difference and why it is so important
Unassuming grower may think that white Spathiphyllum ( "Female happiness") and red anthurium ( "Man's happiness), very similar to each other. That is to say, a harmonious couple.
But by and large plants have only two similarities:
- Like blossoms: "shishechka" framed by a white or scarlet-leaf bracts.
- Both belong to the family Araceae (which explains the resemblance).
Everything. To think that we should take care of Spathiphyllum and Anthurium need the same, very misleading. Alas, that it usually leads to the death of "male happiness." After all, the first - a resident of the marshlands, and the second - poluepifit, ie half-lives in air. In the cultivation of Anthurium more similarities with the cultivation of Phalaenopsis than with the care of Spathiphyllum.
It all begins with the soil...
Plant anthurium in a mixture of peat and bark. No ordinary land for indoor plants - it can suffocate the plant, rot. In the best-case scenario of events just to slow down significantly in the growth and produce few flowers per year.
... ends with light, fertilizing and watering
Water the flower moderately. Not as Spathiphyllum. Wait until the top layer dries the substrate. And hold the watering can. Be sure to pour the excess water from the tray, so as not to provoke a root rot.
Once a month, and in the summer - 2 times a month, I shed the ground completely out of the shower. Bathe together with leaves, and he is clearly the soul.
Fertilizer - minerals, specifically for flowering. Just breed in the water and water the nutrient solution every 2 weeks. Please note that as part of money was enough phosphorus.
In my house gorgeous anthurium blooms only on the south windowsill. Adequate lighting - one of the key elements of beauty! But in the summer it is sure to make pritenenie: newspaper, blinds, mirror film - each grower your recipe.
But that's not all ...
Form a flower - it is important!
Sometimes fans of indoor plants complain once lush anthurium drawn. It is not clear where and why. Even more it is unclear what to do about it.
From decorative does not remain a trace. Most interesting is that it is perfectly normal! According to its natural characteristics "male happiness" tend to drag on, as the vine. This is not a mistake care, just different and can not be.
What to do:
- periodically update anturium, cutting and rooting crown;
- I plant in one pot a few cuttings, and then anthurium growing bush and colors visually more.
