Anthurium Growing Tips
Anthurium Growing Tips
Understanding the needs of the anthurium
The anthurium is a tropical plant that grows naturally in the rainforests of America. It appreciates abundant but filtered light, high ambient humidity and a perfectly draining substrate.
When grown in good conditions, this rare tropical plant develops dense, glossy foliage and regularly produces its colorful spathes.
The success of its cultivation depends primarily on the quality of the substrate and the management of watering.
The ideal substrate for anthuriums
The substrate for anthuriums must be both well-draining and aerated to allow the roots to breathe.
Buffered coconut fiber enriched with Trichoderma provides a stable base that retains moisture while promoting root development.
Hydroponic clay pebbles contribute to the stability of the mixture and facilitate moisture management.
Small-caliber maritime pine bark improves substrate aeration and promotes root oxygenation.
Large caliber pumice ensures efficient drainage and prevents water stagnation.
Biochar contributes to the microbiological balance of the substrate.
Finally, perlite limits compaction and improves air and water circulation.
The right steps for successfully growing anthuriums
To maintain a healthy anthurium , certain practices are particularly important.
• Place your plant in a bright spot, but out of direct sunlight
• Maintain a relatively high ambient humidity
Regularly caring for the foliage also helps keep the plant healthy. Cleaning the leaves with a damp sponge removes dust and improves photosynthesis.
Repotting can be done every two years to renew the substrate and give the roots more space.
