How often should you water Anthurium?

Generally, you need to water the anthurium every 3-4 days. However, it is best not to be too regular, because it needs different amounts of water at different growth stages. When it is just planted, you can water it every 2-3 days, during the period of vigorous growth, you can water it every 1-2 days, and during the flowering period, you need to water it less, every 4-5 days.

The correct way to water Anthurium

1. Anthurium has different water requirements at different growth stages. During the cultivation of Anthurium seedlings, it is necessary to use a sprayer to spray water on its leaves every morning and evening to maintain the humidity of the plant and enable it to grow healthily.

2. During the vigorous growth period of anthurium, it is necessary to increase the frequency of watering when the weather is hot to prevent the leaves of anthurium from drying out. It is also necessary to use sharp scissors to thin out the overly dense branches and leaves of anthurium to increase the light transmittance and ventilation between plants.

3. During the flowering stage of Anthurium, the frequency of watering needs to be controlled to avoid plant rotting and flower falling. You can use a cotton swab to insert into the soil. If the cotton swab comes out dry, it means that the soil does not contain moisture, and the Anthurium can be watered at this time.

Overwatering Anthurium

If you water the anthurium too much, water will accumulate in the soil and its roots will rot due to lack of oxygen in the soil. When the roots rot, the leaves cannot absorb water normally, and the leaves will turn from green to yellow.

Therefore, we should do a good job of drainage in normal times, and prune the roots in time if there are rotten roots. In order to avoid residual bacteria, it is also necessary to disinfect in time after root pruning.
