Anthurium
Anthurium belongs to the arum family.Anthuriums are one of the most popular tropicals with a long vase life of about six weeks and even more depending on the variety and season. They are grown for their brightly colored flower spathes and their ornamental leaves.
Growing Anthuriums
Anthuriums can be grown by 4 methods. They are by Vegetative reproducation, Seeds, Tissue culture, and Fertilization. * Anthuriums grow on a wide range of soil types ranging from sandy loams to heavy clays. * Anthuriums need a highly organic soil with good water retention capability and good drainage. * A well-drained soil is important to prevent rotting of stems and roots. * Anthuriums should be planted in raised beds of 1.3 to 2 metres wide and 20 cm deep. * Anthuriums should not be planted more than 5 cm deep, as deep planting results in rotting of stems and roots. * Stake the anthurium after planting for support. * Water the anthuriums immediately after planting. * A layer of coconut husks, semi-rotted wood, or sugar cane baggasse may be used. * Mulching is needed for the anthuriums plants. * Anthurium plant roots grow into the mulch and spread.
Anthuriums plant care
* Remove dead & unsightly foliage and faded or brown flowers. * Use a peat moss base. * Anthuriums need a high light, but not direct sunlight. * Water your anthurium thoroughly, but allow it to dry slightly between waterings. * Do not over-water the anthuriums as it may cause root damage and yellowing of the leaves. * Fertilize anthurium plant about every other month. * Avoid draughts, and strong temperature fluctuations. * In winter anthurium plants need a 6 weeks of rest period at a 15°C with little water. This allows the plant to flower profusely again in the following season.
