About this deal

If you live in a climate where anthurium can grow outdoors, plant it in a well-drained location. Anthurium plants don’t like continually moist soil. Pruning & Repotting Anthurium Using a sharp knife, separate the clumps of roots, so you have two sections. You may have excess soil, but you can eliminate this by carefully shaking the dirt free from the roots.

Cause: If your Anthurium flower develops brown leaves, the most common reason is underwatering. Other reasons are a natural cause, overwatering, too much sunlight, and pests. Then use the knife to sever pieces from the stem, making sure each has two nodes to poke beneath the soil on one end, and a couple of leaves on the other end. Choose a healthy parent plant you want to duplicate and locate a stem at least six inches long with two or more leaves attached.Now, let’s talk about windows. Which windows are best for the Purple Anthurium plant? The answer is those that face east or west. These windows provide the plant with the right amount of light and shade throughout the day. But what if you don’t have windows that face east or west? Fear not, you can use sheer curtains or blinds to filter the light. However, it’s important to note that the effects of too much or too little light can be detrimental to the plant’s health. The Purple Anthurium plant, a tropical beauty, requires specific lighting conditions to thrive. But what exactly are these lighting requirements? In this section, we will delve into the perplexing world of lighting for the Purple Anthurium plant and explore how to ensure it receives the right amount of light. The Purple Anthurium plant, a tropical plant, requires specific temperature conditions to thrive. The ideal temperature range for the plant’s growth and health is between 60°F to 90°F (15°C to 32°C). It prefers warm and humid conditions, which mimic its natural tropical habitat. However, it is important to keep the temperature consistent and avoid sudden temperature changes, which can stress the plant.

The Anthurium thrives in soil that's permanently moist, so how often should you water it? Unfortunately, I don't have a fixed number for you, because how often you water your plant depends on the soil. If you've got soil that retains water well and can hold onto water for 5-7 days, you'll only have to water your plant once per week. Important! Anthurium are poisonous if ingested, so be very careful if you have pets and/or small children. The sap can also cause skin irritation. Light Meet the real rebel of the flamingo flower genus: Anthurium clavigerum. You may not even recognize it as a member of this group because the leaves are fully palmate, with 7 to 12 long, arching, and lobed leaflets. Known for its striking spathes and shiny leaves, anthurium is grown most often as a houseplant and cut flower. What looks to be the flower of the anthurium is actually a spathe, a modified leaf that surrounds the spadix. On the spadix are the small, tightly clustered flowers.

If the Purple Anthurium plant receives too much light, the leaves may become scorched and turn brown. Conversely, if the plant receives too little light, the leaves may become yellow and drop off. Therefore, it is crucial to monitor the plant’s light exposure and adjust accordingly. Routinely feeding your anthurium during the warmer months will help it flourish. Use a ¼-strength complete liquid fertilizer monthly. Fertilizing more frequently may actually prohibit blooms. Stop fertilizing the plant during the colder months. Growth Rate

Anthurium scherzerianum needs pruning to stay healthy. It is a slow-growing plant but thrives from multiple growth points. Trim them every three to five months. Taking away too much of the foliage will stunt future growth. It prefers morning sunlight and afternoon shade if you can afford these conditions. Anthurium Water Needs There are few issues associated with growing anthurium. The most common problem is root rot or a fungal infection due either to overwatering or to soil that doesn’t drain well and retains too much water. You can avoid these problems by using the right potting mix and not overwatering. A humidifier is a great way to regulate the humidity levels around your plant but could be a slightly more expensive solution. An easier way to raise humidity is to cover your plant with a glass or plastic dome. This dome will trap the humidity around your plant and mimic the tropical environment of the rainforest it naturally grows in. Many Anthuriums are epiphytes, so they don’t need soil to grow but a growing medium. A good and simple mix is 1 part orchid bark, 1 part peat moss or substitute (coco coir), and 1 part perlite.

Anthuriums are native to tropical regions, where temperatures typically range from 20 to 30 degrees Celsius (68 to 86 F) during the day and 16 to 21 degrees Celsius (60 to 70 F) at night. This means that they prefer warm, humid conditions, so you'll need to keep them away from cold drafts and protect them against extreme temperature changes. Laceleaf will not produce lots of foliage, but what leaves! This flamingo flower variety, known to botanists as Anthurium regale, “royal anthurium” is stingy with quantity but generous with size and quality. Below is a detailed step-by-step guide on how to make a beautiful clone out of your Anthurium specimen. Propagation Through Stem Cuttings If they’ve made the leaves yellow already, you may need to employ insecticidal soap or one of the other solutions described in our guide to managing scale. Spider Mites Remedy: Adjust your watering or fertilization schedule. Ensure that you meet the plant care requirements and look at the most common reasons why Anthurium flowers turn brown.
