![]() ![]() Blooms will generally appear in the summer, during the active growth season. Keep the roots pot-bound to add further stress onto the specimen, which in turn will significantly heighten the chance of flowering. Provide a bright, and cool autumn and winter period around 15℃ (59℉) to reinforce its dormancy. Although we'd recommend using a 'Houseplant' labelled feed throughout the year, you can swap this for a potassium-based product like 'Tomato' food to help the longevity of its flowers.Īvoid directly applying 'ready-to-pour' fertilisers into the soil without a pre-water due to the roots' sensitive nature to harsh chemicals. Gently hose the foliage down from time to time to hydrate the leaves and keep the dust levels down.įertilise your plant every two weeks in the spring and summer, reducing this to monthly for the colder months of the years. If the surrounding saturation is too low or the heat too high, its leaf-tips may start to brown over and curl, especially in direct sunlight. Scroll down to 'Common Issues' for more information.Ĭreate a humidity tray to provide a moist and stable environment for your plant. As you water the potting mix, the oxygen will rise to the surface (much similar to oceanic bubbles) that'll starve the roots until they being to rot. Browning legions with yellow halos on its foliage are a common issue among indoor gardeners, predominantly caused by anaerobic soil from over-watering. These issues are usually familiar with either too little light/heat or overly soggy soil in between waters. Over-watering symptoms include lower yellowing leaves, stunted growth, wilting or brown spots with yellowed halos on its leaves. These issues are usually down to too much sunlight or heat, a much needed repot or forgetfulness. Under-watering symptoms include stunted growth, flower loss, wilting, crispy brown patches developing on its leaves, and gradual decline. If it's in bloom, avoid using cold water due to their sensitivity to temperature change that can result in flower loss and slowed growth. During the spring and summer months, allow a third of the soil to dry out in between irrigations, reducing this slightly further in autumn and winter. ![]() Avoid placing yours in a too dark of a location due to the risk of over-watering and lowered stored energy from photosynthesis.Īnthurium are epiphytic, meaning that they grow on trees and therefore aren't tolerable to water-logging. Those kept on a north, north-east or north-west facing window are most likely to develop good health, along with longer-lasting flowers and leaves. We'd recommend situating your specimen in a bright location that offers up to an hour of morning or evening sunlight. ![]()
