How To Plant Anthuriums In The Correct Way

  As we all know anthuriums are plants with a flower of adorable beauty. They come in various colors such as Red, Pink, White, Purple, Light Green and also as bi-colors like green and white, red and green, purple and green etc. But you would like to have them in the garden wouldn't you? so here is the correct way of planting an anthurium.

Things you need:

Flower Pot
Coconut Husks
Coir Dust
Pieces of Bricks
Plant

How to get an Anthurium Plant:

The easiest and the most reliable way of getting a plant is from the plant itself. You will have to find a plant with a newborn shoot. You will have to extract the new plant carefully without damaging the roots of the mother plant. I recommend you to use garden tools.









How to plant the extracted plant

Once the plant is extracted you will have to have the flower pot ready. To have the best conditions to the plant to grow you will need to:
First, place the pieces of brick in the bottom of the pot so that the brick absorbs water and keeps the roots moist.
Next, cut cubes of about 1 cubic inch of the coconut husks and place them over the top of the brick layer, until the pot is filled halfway.
 Now take the plant you extracted and place it on the top of the coconut husk cubes. Hold it straight and add a little coir dust along with compost. Finally get some coconut husks and place over the plant for support.

Important

Once your Anthurium is planted you should place the plant in a shaded area with plenty of water. You may use fertilizers to aid flower growth.
