The Anthurium are relatively easy to grow, have attractive foliage and under appropriate environment, year lasting flowers round of the product. Commercially, the Anthurium type of pot grown in the world with the heaviest concentrations of the USA (Florida) and the Netherlands. They are durable and will survive as a houseplant foliage for a remarkable period of time, even under adverse conditions.
The Anthurium grow best with day temperatures 78 to 90 F, and temperatures of the night temperatures of 70 to 75 F. about 90 F can cause leaf burning, discoloration color of the flower, and reduced life of the flower. Temperatures at night between 40 to 50 F can lead to slow growth and yellow leaves more casualties. The Anthurium not tolerate frost or freezing conditions.
Padding
The Anthurium preferred means of growth that is thick and well drained. The means of filling should be a basis of peat moss with a 1:1: 1 ratio of peat moss, bark and pine of perlite. The plants when they are youong be planted in a mixture that is not quite so thick, to conserve moisture. The soil should be placed firmly around the roots and the root system should fill the pot before the plant be intensified to a larger size of the pot.
Rieger
While the Anthurium can handle dry around the root ball, need to be watered thoroughly and be allowed to dry slightly before watering again. Allow the plant deseque greatly retard the growth cycle. The drying can also make the tip burn and root damage, while on the power irrigation also cause damage to the root of sudden and yellow leaves.
LIGHT
The Anthurium in general (inside) take on as much light as you can provide with-but not direct sunlight. The lower levels of light delayed or cease production of the flower. The type species of foliage tolerate levels of light as short growing in some areas more shasiest their natural habitat. The leaves emerge in light cuts can stretch and / or warping.
Fertilizer
A quick word on nutrition. Most growers use a fertilizer slow launch time in their plants. Fertilization should not be an issue for quite some months. If you're going to fertilize, use a mild solution of a 3:1: 2 and the ratio is probably the best to dilute to 1 / 4 strength.
Parasites and disease
The Anthurium are generally susceptible to parasites who visit out the houseplants, such as aphids, scales, mealybugs and thrip. The thrip and flour are more in new growth. You can also find aphids to feed on flower buds. The scales seem particularly fond resistant to the type of hierarchy of the bird. The best method of controlling insect is to supervise their plants and treat them before they get out of hand. There are some insecticides soaps that work well on soft insects, but the scales may need a stronger insecticide. Under conditions of low humidity spider mites may appear. One of the best ways to stay clear of the use of chemicals is with the mop of foliage and a newspaper sparay gentle water. Be sure not to forget the lower surfaces.
The biggest problem of disease to which you will face is within RHIZOCTINIA. This is caused by high temperature and humidity along with soil that drains poorly. Do not over water and you should replant, do not use well drained soil, because that is its best defense. Chemically, RHIZOCTINIA can be controlled with a wide range of fungicides. The best approach is prevention via cultural practices.
