Red Anthurium: grow it like this so that it always blooms and has shiny leaves!
1 – Preparation of the plant and insertion into the sponge.
It is necessary, first of all, to check the condition of the plant and the roots . We will then eliminate the yellowish leaves and the roots with scissors, obviously keeping the collar.
After achieving the desired result, we take a floral sponge and then create holes at one end.
We will insert our leaves inside the holes made.
We then take the sponge with the leaves into a glass jar and then pour the water in. Then add a little water directly onto the sponge.
2 – How to water the plant providing it with the necessary nutrients.
I recommend that the plant only needs to be watered and not fertilized . In fact, after having kept the plant for about 15 days in a shaded place, we can move it to a place where it can flower peacefully.
Then at the end of the two months we can water it in such a way as to give it the nutrients it needs, also using manure .
3 – How much to water the plant and what to do if it seems too dry or too wet.
It is important to know that Anthurium should be watered no more than 3 times a week .
Too much water may yellow the leaves and damage the roots .
If the plant is dry , we simply have to soak the roots , after pouring a lot of water into the pot. Then leave it immersed for about 60 minutes . In this way the plant will not dry out anymore and will take on new life.
At this point we have all the tools to grow and flower our Anthurium in water .
