Naturally, the flower care anthurium is specific. And if it is correct, then the plant will bloom from early spring to autumn. But not many landladies know what it takes and in what conditions an anthurium needs a flower, how to take care of it. Today we will try to reveal the secret of caring for this kind of plants.

The plant is quite thermophilic. In the summer, it is better to provide warm, moderate conditions, and in winter temperatures should not be less than +18 0С.

As a man who loves flowers, it seems to me that there is no finer, well-groomed, healthy plant than an anthurium flower. How to care to achieve the best result, I want to give a few recommendations:

• The flower is afraid of drafts: choose a place quiet and calm;
• If the tips of the leaves become brown, the cause may be hidden in too dry air and hard water;
• A variety of additional fertilizing should be within reasonable limits, since anthurium sometimes reacts painfully and negatively to too many chemicals;
• Deciding to transplant the plant, remember that a large amount of peat should be added to the pot; Enrich the earth with sphagnum;
• Watering a flower, try not to overdo it, since the anthurium does not like stagnation of water on the roots;
• The plant prefers an acidic environment: when watering it, add a softener;
• Important! Anthurium is a poisonous plant, so when determining the place in the apartment, observe the safety measures so that the flower does not harm children and animals.

As can be seen from the above, the flowers of the anthurium, the care of which is carried out correctly and in full, will give its owners a healthy well-groomed plant blooming for almost a year. The plant lives at home for 2-3 years, then it can discard leaves. Growing Anthurium in an apartment, it should be remembered that the plant prefers diffuse bright light (half-shadow can be). Winter light should be enough to further ensure flowering.

Many plants love care and care, there was no exception and an anturium flower. How to care for him? Very simple. Ensure that the humidity in the room is not less than 60%, do not forget to spray the leaves, but beware that water does not get on the inflorescence, as it will be covered with stains and may disappear. You should water the flower every three to four days, and in winter - just once a week. Transplant Anthurium in spring in a small pot. When doing this, handle carefully with leaves and roots, so as not to damage them. When you transplant an anthurium, it needs to be pawned slightly lower than it was before transplantation. And when roots begin to appear on the surface, they need to be covered with moss, which is constantly moistened to avoid drying the flower.

For anthurium, a mixture of fibrous deciduous land, light turf ground and a small amount of marsh moss will perfectly suit. When transplanting the ground should not be too rammed in a pot. This will provide additional oxygen flow to the roots. You can multiply the flower by dividing the bush or seeds.

During an active growth anthurium is fed every two weeks with organic and mineral additives and fertilizers. Do it in spring or fall.

In winter, the plant rests, so all fertilizer and watering should be reduced, but the land in the pot should not dry out. On average, watering the plant is recommended once a week.

A beautiful, gentle and noble anthurium flower. How to care, we told you. We hope that our recommendations will not be superfluous and will help in the care of plants.
