Just Take Care of Following Points to Have a Healthy Anthurium Plant

Anthurium plants simply grow up with the basic caring. The indoor plants, most probably suffer from the Rhizoctinia disease. The main reason behind it, is a poorly drained soil, high temperature and humidity. This disease can be cured by the wide range fungicides. We are  discussing about some important care taking tips for the plants. 

Temperature 
The light matters a lot in the growth of Anthurium Plant. During the daytime,78 to 90 F and  70 to 75 F temperature for the night is best for the maximum growth. If the temperature varies then, it starts affecting the growth speed. The above 90 F can be the reason, for foliar burning and reduced flower life.

Light 
The plant consumes the maximum light you provide. But the direct hot sunlight is dangerous and even the low light will result in the slower flower production. It is advisable to put the Anthurium pot in the eastern or southern window. If not possible, then western window is also okay, but make sure that it is protected from the direct afternoon rays.

Humidity 
Anthuriums are originated from the tropical environment. Thus, it is more advisable to put them over a pebble tray and mist frequently to have a healthy plant.

Watering 
The continuous moisture is not acceptable. Thus, let it be dry between watering. Utilize the potting soil with a pumice and orchid bark. Take care of watering from the starting It is meaningless if you start caring after the plant become totally dry. If so, then it will take a time.

Fertilizers 
In the starting few months, fertilizing is not an issue. But after some time, it is required to have a great nutritional value in the plant. The same thing is applied to the Bonsai Tree as well.

Potting 
The soil with ¼ orchid bark, best suits with the drier climate. If the plant start to get dry, then just put it up into the one size larger pot.
