Anthurium Care: 9 Useful Guides For Planter
Intro
Thank you for coming to our page on how to care for anthuriums. Anthuriums are a type of flowering plant from South and Central America. They’re also known as anthurium andreanum.
At first, they were popular because of the bright red flowers of Anthurium andraeanum, also known as the red lace leaf plant.
More Anthurium species, like Anthurium crystallinum, are now known for their leaves, but this article will focus on the “laceleaf” Anthurium andraeanum with red blooms.
Light Needs
Red lace anthuriums need good indirect sunlight, from the upper end of medium indirect light up to brilliant, in order to bloom.
How Often to Water An Anthurium
Don’t let your anthuriums stand in water between waterings. Instead, let them dry almost all the way out. Keep them moist but not dripping wet so they don’t dry out. They also shouldn’t be allowed to get too wet.
They should do well if you let them almost dry out between waterings, but not completely. Once a week, check the soil.
Fertilizer
Anthuriums don’t need to be fed; they’ll be fine without it. During the growing season, however, a fertilizer with a lot of phosphorus will help the anthurium andraeanum send out its beautiful red flowers.
Soil
When To Repot An Anthurium
When they have grown too big for their current pot, you can move them to a bigger one (up one or two sizes). The spring is the best time to do this.
Humidity
Anthuriums like it when it is humid because they are tropical plants. If you don’t have a humidifier, which most people don’t, spritz them when you water them or every few days when it’s hot.
Temperature
Anthuriums don’t like it when it’s cold outside. They don’t like it when it’s colder than 15 °C (60 °F). They like to live in places that are warmer.
How To Propagate Anthurium?
Remove as much dirt as you can, and then carefully separate the plants, making sure each one has roots that stay with it so you can plant each one in its own pot. Then, each plant should be put in its own hole. See How to Grow Anthuriums for more information.
