Do you want to have magic at home? Then Anthurium comes to you, the flower of family happiness and love. Anthurium is a male plant, male happiness, as they called him among the people. In addition to the official name Anthurium, it is also called the Flamingo Flower. Look at the photo of a flamingo. This exquisite bird looks like a flower petal (bedspread). The color of the bedspread depends on the type of plant.

Really looks like a flamingo, right?

There are a lot of Anthurium varieties (there are up to 1000 of them). To make caring for Anthurium at home easy, it is better to dwell on the following types:

One of the most beautiful flowers. The leaves are heart-shaped, velvety, dark green or purple with light streaks that shimmer in the light with a crystal shine. The ear is purple with a purple veil. He came to us from Panama.

Its dark green matte leaves are oblong and have small black spots. A yellow, orange or red ear wraps around a bedspread of the appropriate shade. He comes from Costa Rica.

Anthurium Baker. It has dense leaves with reddish brown dots. The bedspread has a leathery appearance, its color is pale green-yellow with a beautiful lilac outline. The ear is creamy. His homeland is Guatemala.

It has such a name because of the unusual shape of the leaves with a dissected shape with a wavy edge. Bedspread in cream shade with a green-beige ear. This flower was born in the north of Peru.

This plant has heart-shaped, shiny green leaves. The bedspread is characterized by a tuberosity of a white or red shade with a cream or red cob. This indoor Anthurium comes from Ecuador.

Anthurium blooms all year round, its flowers can retain their original appearance for 2 months, and cut flowers can be fragrant in water for up to 4 weeks. The unique aroma of Anthurium can change during the day, and apparently depends on the mood of the flower. If you take proper care of him, his "mood" will be excellent all year round.

The soil

Freshly bought Anthurium is needed immediately transplant into the prepared soil. And this is not an ordinary land, but a special one substrate... To grow it properly, use the following recipes:

• Peat, chopped moss and turf soil (2: 2: 1 ratio)
• Deciduous soil (humus), chopped bog moss and turf (2: 1: 1 ratio)
• Pumice 1-3 cm pieces, pine bark pieces 2-5 cm in size, peat and horse manure (proportion 2: 2: 1: 1)
• Large expanded clay, peat and pine bark in pieces of 2-3 cm (proportion 1: 1: 1)

Plant transplant substrate.

Bone meal, moss, charcoal, wood chips can be added to the prepared substrates. But do not rush everything to fall asleep in pots.

For a capricious Anthurium, plastic pots are needed, shallow and wide.

Successful flower cultivation is possible only with good drainage, as it absorbs excess water and does not allow roots to rot. It can be a mixture of sand, charcoal and coniferous bark. Place it on the bottom of the pot and fill it with the substrate.

Fertilizers

Top dressing from March to September once in two weeks... You don't need to fertilize in winter. To do this, use a mixture of humus and cow dung. Or buy fertilizers (but cut the dose by half according to the instructions). You can also water the flower with infusion of chicken droppings once a week.

“I feed him with iron (Ferrovit) and Kemira Lux,” our reader writes in her comments, “there are no pests at all, only the scabbard, which I got rid of with Aktara. My beauties delight me with flowering all year round! "

Temperature

You can successfully grow a flower at t 20-28 ° C in summer and winter at t 18-20 ° C. Protect the plant from drafts and hot batteries.

If you have a monstera in your house, you will probably be interested in how to properly care for her so that she always has an elegant look. Read more about this.

By the way: if you offer Anthurium from September to January a dormant period (keep at t 15-16 ° C and limit watering), then it will bloom more actively. In January, gradually increase the temperature to 20-25 ° C, and then the plant will bloom earlier.

With a prolonged decrease in temperature, it does not bloom at all.

Watering

Need watering moderate and regular... Make sure that the soil does not dry out completely, you need to water when the top of the soil has time to dry out.

• Water the flower every 3-4 days in summer.
• In winter, once a week

Need water boil and stand... Indoor Anthurium loves water, so wipe its leaves with a damp sponge. But don't touch the branches! Water can stain them. After watering, remove excess water from the sump.

This is what the seeds of this flower look like.

Lighting

The plant loves penumbra so try to keep it away from direct sunlight. The most a good place for a flower - windows located in the east and northwest. On the north window, it will also survive, but it will not bloom. If there is not enough light for it, Anthurium does not bloom, and its leaves are deformed.

Lovers of conifers have long appreciated the excellent qualities - it easily tolerates a haircut, is not too whimsical, it has many decorative varieties that delight the eye even in the most severe winters.

Reproduction

Reproduction of Anthurium occurs in three ways:

Friendly shoots appeared from the sown seeds.

1. Division. In late spring, carefully separate a few side shoots from the mother stem, and transplant them into a separate pot.
2. Cuttings. You need to cut off a part of the stem with roots, cut the bottom into 5-10cm pieces and plant in a small bowl under glass. After 2-3 weeks, fresh roots will appear. We transplant them into the ground.
3. The flower propagates by pollination (apply pollen from one flower to another with a soft brush). This needs to be done for several days. In a year there will be berries with seeds. Remove the seeds and immerse them in a weak manganese solution for 2 hours. To grow them, place the seeds in a bowl on top of a damp foam sponge and cover with glass. After two weeks, they can be transferred to a container with a substrate. Sprouted seeds need to be transplanted 2-3 times. When the sprouts are 7 cm tall, plant them in pots. The first flowering will be after 4 years.

“Together with my daughter, we artificially propagated Anthurium. We wielded a soft brush and chose larger flowers, - our reader writes to us, - and soon we were picking beautiful burgundy berries. I immediately warned my daughter to be careful, because Anthurium juice is poisonous and can cause allergies, so she worked with gloves. After washing, we put the seeds in moss and a plastic bag. Our seeds germinated after 3 months and we transplanted them into a pot. Now we already have three Anthuriums! "

Possible problems

Anthracnose on the leaf, it's time to apply fungicides.

If you notice:

• Yellow spots on shriveled leaves. Here the aphid tried. Apply tobacco infusion to the affected areas
• Sticky discharge on the leaves, this is the matter of the scale insect. Treat the leaves with karbofos. Karbofos helps to destroy mealybugs (they are clearly visible on all parts of the plant)
• The leaf turns yellow and curls- too dry air, draft or direct sunlight
• Leaves dry around the edges is the result of Anthracnose disease. Here, systemic fungicide treatment is necessary.

“I was very upset when I saw dried leaves on one of the flowers! I have two Anthuriums and the second was fine. I didn't understand what was the matter when my grandfather came to the rescue. He began to put the used teabags in the pot. And what do you think? Somewhere in a month my Anthurium came to life! " - our reader writes to us.

We carefully store all the reviews, by the way, much of this article is written on the basis of letters in which our readers tell us about the care of this delicate, exotic plant!

The exotic plant anthurium, with brightly colored flower bedspreads, symbolizes the masculine principle. It is also called the flower of love or the flower of the flamingo, probably for the gracefulness of forms and the inherent nobility of a bird.

In homes, anthurium is rare - it is not easy to grow it indoors. Due to the fact that the plant is very capricious, only professional experienced florists can afford it. It takes a lot of effort to grow it, but it's worth it.

This genus has about 900 species, but most of them are intended for cultivation only in heated greenhouses or florariums.

Irina 07/31/2015 03:14

I quote Anna:

hello, tell me please, everything seems to be nothing, only my flower doesn't want to bloom. He's already 2 years old.

1. Lack of bright diffused light. Direct rays are detrimental to both the stems and the leaves and flowers of the plant. But the lack of light is not the most the best solution... During the upcoming flowering period, artificial lighting can be added to support the anthurium.

2. High temperatures during the winter. The laying of buds is stimulated, first of all, by the wintering period with a temperature of 15-16 ° C. A frequent mistake is to continue maintaining the air temperature at 20-22 ° C.

3. Problems with watering. Drying out of the soil or, on the contrary, stagnant water leads to withering of the anthurium. If the plant does not choose water during regular watering, then you should think about transplanting. Most likely, the matter is in the low drainage height in the flower pot or the low quality of the soil. Until the issue with the soil is resolved, it is unlikely that it will be possible to establish watering in the required mode.

4. Low humidity... Anthurium, by its tropical origin, loves high humidity, so they do not like dry air.

5. Finding faded inflorescences on the plant. Anthurium inflorescences, which have faded, begin to form seeds, weakening the plant. To support further flowering, each inflorescence that begins to fade should be cut with a sharp knife or garden shears.

If you are tired of the boring flowers that fill your home, we suggest you pay attention to the plant called the flamingo. This is a vibrant tropical plant that will not leave you indifferent.

Flamingo flower care

In general, the optimal temperature for the culture is 20-25 degrees. In summer, it is not recommended to put flamingos in the open sun, since the delicate leaves of the plant are not used to direct sunlight and can quickly burn themselves. It is better to set aside a place for the plant in partial shade. In winter, the culture falls into a semi-hibernation, however, it is extremely dangerous for the plant to lower the temperature below 15 degrees.

Anthurium is very fond of high air humidity - this means that the leaves must be regularly sprayed or wiped with a wet sponge. Place the pot in a tray on top of damp moss. If you cover the stems with the same moss, the adventitious roots will grow intensively.

The most comfortable summer temperature is 20-28 ° C. In winter, this level is much lower - 15-16 ° C. In order for the plant to bloom profusely, a temperature of 16-18 ° C must be provided in March-April. Subject to all the rules of care, the flower can bloom all summer long.

In spring and summer, a period of growth begins, at this time feed your pet every 15 days with organic fertilizers, which should alternate with a solution of mineral fertilizers. If the plant has just been transplanted, then feeding is contraindicated for it.

The transplant is carried out every year in the spring (when the base becomes more than 25 cm wide, it will need to be transplanted twice less often). At the same time, the soil is made up of a small amount of sand, humus and sod land. The best option is when the substrate is loose, breathable.

There are several ways to reproduce anthurium:

Lateral shoots that have independent roots;

Stem and apical cuttings;

The video has been deleted.

Seeds (sowed at 25 ° C, germinates after a few months).

No cropping is needed.

Possible problems

If the tips of the leaves turn black, then there is an excess of calcium in the soil. Please note that you must use soft water for irrigation.

Leaves curl - usually the reason is either dry air, or direct sunlight, or insufficient lighting, or the fact that the plant is standing in a draft.

The atrium sometimes suffers from aphids, which accumulate on young inflorescences and shoots. To eliminate this phenomenon, in the summer, every month for prevention, the plant is sprayed with solutions that prevent the appearance and activity of aphids. In addition, the atrium can be affected by scale insects and thrips.

The latter are especially dangerous, because they multiply very quickly, and considerable efforts will be required to destroy them.

Scherzer's Anthurium is an exotic plant that is native to South America. He was nicknamed the flamingo in ancient times. And all because the cob of the plant is very similar in shape to the neck of a flamingo. Be that as it may, this name is quite suitable for this exotic, which in our latitudes evokes the same wild and vivid emotions as the flamingo bird.

In total, the anthurium plant has about six hundred species, which are very similar to each other, and almost all of them are a compact plant with a thin trunk and large leaves of an original shape. Usually the leaves of the plant have a glossy finish and look very festive and exotic, however, main feature the plants are still its flowers, which most often have a bright red color and an unusual shape. In general, anthurium inflorescences can be white, pink, and even yellow, but most often there are plants with bright red inflorescences.

The most popular indoor type of anthurium is Andre's anthurium, but today we will talk about Scherzer's anthurium, which is unique in its shape, thanks to which the plant was called flamingo. This culture is a rather large flower, which in indoor conditions reaches a height of 30 cm or more. Tall hybrids, which were recently bred, are capable of growing up to a height of 50-60 cm, however, miniature dwarf flamingos can also be found on sale, which are no more than 15 cm high.

One of the main distinguishing features of the flamingo flower is the number and size of the plant's inflorescences. The flowers of the culture reach a fairly large size and stand out strongly against the background of green foliage. That is why during the flowering period, which, by the way, lasts for a plant for several months, the culture looks extremely attractive and becomes a decoration of the whole house.

Flamingo flower care

Like all exotic plants, the flamingo plant requires careful care and special conditions for growth. First of all, the culture requires compliance with a strict temperature regime and maintaining high humidity in the room. Anthurium does not tolerate drafts at all, especially in winter, so forget about airing if the plant is placed on a window in the cold season. However, the flamingo flower is even more afraid of sudden changes in temperature. For this reason, it is not advisable to leave it on the balcony at night, even in the warm season. As for winter, in the case of a cold window, you should not place a delicate tropical plant there. It will only suffer and often get sick.
