One bottle a month: The anthurium blooms all year round
The Anthurium is a very popular indoor plant for its beautiful colourful flowering that lasts all year. If you want to enjoy its beautiful flowers permanently, it is essential to occupy it well. In this article, we give you practical advice on how to take care of your anthurium to keep it blooming.
1. An adapted environment
- Place your anthurium in a bright place, but without direct exposure to the sun. It prefers temperatures between 20 and 25 degrees Celsius.
- Make sure that the plant is not subjected to air currents, which may affect its flowering.
2. Regular watering
It is important to maintain a good moisture level for your anthurium:
- Water your plant once a week in summer and once every two weeks in winter.
- Use water at room temperature and ensure that the soil is neither too dry nor too wet.
3. Monthly fertilization
To promote continuous flowering, it is recommended to fertilize your anthurium once a month:
- Use a balanced liquid fertilizer for indoor plants, following the instructions on packaging.
- Avoid overdose of fertilizer, as this could damage the plant’s roots.
4. Size and maintenance
To stimulate flowering and keep your anthurium healthy, some maintenance actions are needed:
- Remove the faded flowers regularly by cutting them at their base. This will encourage the plant to produce new flowers.
- Clean the leaves of the anthurium with a damp cloth to remove dust and promote photosynthesis.
5. Regular transplanting
After a few years, your anthurium may need to be repotted to promote its growth and flowering:
- Choose a pot slightly larger than the previous one and fill it with a mixture of light and well drained soil.
- Repot in the spring when the plant is growing actively.
Following these simple tips, you can enjoy an abundant and continuous flowering of your anthurium throughout the year. Don’t hesitate to carefully observe your plant and adjust its growing conditions according to its specific needs.
Not only will the anthurium brighten your interior with its beautiful flowers, but it will also help create a soothing and warm atmosphere in your home.
