Anthurium is a beautiful flower said to bring good luck and prosperity to the home. It’s no surprise, then, that many people try to grow it at home. However, achieving lush blooms isn’t as easy as it seems at first glance.
Anthurium is a tropical plant that requires specific conditions to grow successfully.
How to properly care for anthuriums?
Watering Settings
The main mistake anthurium owners make is overwatering. Excessive moisture can lead to the death of the plant. It’s important to let the soil dry out for 2-4 cm between waterings, depending on the size of the pot.
Lighting
Anthuriums require plenty of light, at least 10 hours a day. The ideal location for the pot is an east- or west-facing window, where the plant receives morning or evening light. A north-facing window isn’t ideal for flowering, but it’s suitable for growing a lush bush.
Choosing a Pot
The success of growing anthuriums depends largely on the size of the pot. In a pot that’s too large, the plant’s root system will develop poorly, which will affect flowering and leaf size. If the leaves begin to yellow, it may be a sign that the plant needs repotting due to root rot.
