Anthurium spp. is a perennial evergreen herb of Araceae family. It is a tropical plant that is grown for its attractive leaves and bright flowers. The houseplant consists of over 1000 different species. Anthurium spp. hail from tropical rainforest areas such as Caribbean, Costa Rica and Colombia. It often grows on trees, sometimes on rocks or directly on the ground. The plant prefers warm, humid & semi-shady environments and avoids direct sunlight. The flowered Anthriums are beautiful and appealing. It is suitable for potted houseplants, fresh-cut flowers or landscaping plants in the garden due to longer flowering period.
Anthuriums is known as flamingo flower, the plant has dark green & bright glossy leathery leaves. It is a popular indoor decorative plants that are easy to grow as long as you can supply the right light and humidty. General speaking, it can be categorized into 2 types: colourful flowered Anthurium & decorative foliage Anthurium. The flowered ones come in assorted beautiful waxy flowers like red, pink, yellow, white, black & purple etc. (The heart-shaped “flowers” are not real flowers, they actually called spathes), whereas the foliage Anthurium show in many different patterned leaves. The most common Anthurium is Anthurium andraeanum, they are hotsale around the holidays as those colorful flowers symbolize the good luck and increase the atmosphere in the festive season. Anthuriums are epiphytic, that grow on other plants instead of soil in wild. They can use the moisture from the air and nutrients from their host (A tree or surrounding dead plant material). Anthurium can be grown by seed sowing, root cutting, tissue culture methods for propagation. The houseplants are harmful to humans and pets if ingested.
Очищення повітря: Anthurium is the best plant against xylene. The plant has a good effect of absorbing Ammonia, but slightly weak effect of absorbing Formaldehyde. Anthuriums can maintain indoor air moist, so that the nasal mucosa will not be too dry, and it can conduct photosynthesis in the morning and evening. Meanwhile, Anthuriums can also absorb indoor dust, though it cannot be felt by ourselves directly, it really exists.
Світло: Anthurium is not resistant to strong light, so it should be cultivated in an appropriate shade environment throughout the year. Flowering Anthuriums need bright, indirect light (direct sunlight will scorch the leaves and flowers). Low light will make the plant grow slowly, the flower color become dull, and produce fewer & smaller flowers. Place flowered Anthuriums in a site where they will receive at least 6hrs of bright indirect sunlight each day. The foliage Anthuriums do not need as much light and they can tolerate lower light. In spring, summer and autumn, proper shading should be provided, especially in summer, at least 70% shading is needed. The direct sunlight will make leaves with higher temperature comparing to surrounding atmosphere. If the temperature on the leaves is too high, Anthuriums will be burnt, have scorched leaves and faded flowers, and their leaves also grow slowly.
Води: Make sure to water the Anthuriums regularly, but not overwater. Water the plants thoroughly when the few inches of the soil becomes dry to the touch, stopping when water starts draining from the drainage holes. Avoid over-watering to lead to root rot. The more light Anthurium gets, the more water it will need, so check the soil for dryness every few days. Thirsty plants will be light if you lift them and will have droopy or puckering leaves. In high temperature season, water the plants once every 2-3 days, mist system is also used to mist on the surface of leaves to increase the relative humidity. In cold season, watering shall be carried out from 9am to 4pm to avoid root frozen. No need to water frequently in winter when the plant is not actively growing.
Температура: The temperature requirement for growth of Anthurium depends on weather conditions. The relationship between temperature and light is very important. Normally, it requires 18-20°C & humidity 70%-80% in cloudy days, but 20-28°C and humidity around 70% in sunny days. Anthurium prefers warm temperatures like 70-90°F (21-32°C). Pay attention to avoid temperature extremes: if it drops below 50°F (10°C), the Anthurium will stop growing as it is not cold resistant; if it gets too hot up to 95°F (35°C), Anthuriums will wilt.
Ґрунт: Anthuriums prefers a coarse, well-draining potting mix media. The substrate can be composed of peat moss, wood chips, perlite and coarse sand or pumice to allow the water to drain quickly, but holds enough moisture for root absorption as well as avoid root rot. The ideal PH value can be kept between PH5.5-6.5. Their potting soil should contain more drainage materials (compared to soils for most indoor plants).
