Anthurium andraeanum is more sensitive to salt, water as much as possible to choose slightly acidic water. Ordinary domestic water can be used after 2-3 days. But the water quality is too sour, which will reduce the ornamental value. Natural rainwater is the best water source for red palm maintenance. When it rains, you may as well reserve more.
When raising in the family, you can fill the discarded coke bottle and mineral water bottle with tap water and place them for 3-4 days, then spray the leaves of Anthurium andraeanum. After the tap water is placed for a certain period of time, the chlorine in the water can volatilize.
Different stages of Potted Anthurium have different requirements for water quality.
① in the seedling stage, because the root system of the plant is weak and distributed shallowly in the substrate, it is not resistant to drought. After planting, spray 2-3 times of water every day, keep the substrate moist frequently, make it take out new roots early, and pay attention to the dry humidity of the substrate on the basin surface.
(2) in the middle and large seedling stage, plants grow fast and need more water, so the water supply must be sufficient.
③ in the flowering stage, watering should be reduced and P and K fertilizer should be increased to promote flowering.
In spring, autumn and winter, water in warm and sunny weather as much as possible, in the morning or at noon, to avoid cold time. In summer, watering is usually in the evening. Do not water at noon. You can choose to spray once from 10am to 11am and after 15am.
The water temperature of Anthurium andraeanum should be kept at about 15 ℃ (including the nutrient solution), which is particularly important in severe cold and summer. And the medium water should not be too wet, because the root of Anthurium andraeanum is half fleshy, the root itself stores a lot of water, the water in the medium is too much, resulting in the lack of oxygen in the medium, the root respiration is blocked, long-term in the state of over wet, it will cause root rot.
Red palm likes high humidity environment. The humidity here refers to the relative humidity in the air, not only the water content in the soil. For example, in the northern region, there is drought and windy, and the water volatilizes rapidly. If the water is not replenished in time, the humidity will soon decrease.
Generally speaking, the environmental humidity of Anthurium andraeanum should be 70-80%. The best way to check whether the humidity of Anthurium andraeanum reaches the standard is to observe the leaves of plants. When the leaves have dry tips, it means that the humidity is not enough, and water should be sprayed in time.
