Anthurium, a striking flowering plant renowned for its resilience and ease of cultivation, can thrive with the aid of a natural fertilizer. Let’s explore how to create this fertilizer at home.
Anthurium Characteristics:
Anthurium, also known as anthurium, has become a popular indoor plant in homes due to its adaptability and a variety of species introduced over the years. Originating from the forests of Columbia and belonging to the Araceae family, this plant has evolved into different colors, shapes, and sizes. While its cultivation was once considered challenging, advancements in care knowledge have made it widespread. Optimal placement involves positioning the anthurium near windows, in well-lit areas without direct sunlight, as increased light enhances flowering, provided the plant is shielded from drafts.
Homemade Natural Fertilizer:
For effective fertilization of anthurium during its active growth period (spring to autumn), a liquid chemical fertilizer for flowering plants can be applied bi-weekly. Alternatively, a completely natural homemade fertilizer can be prepared, avoiding the use of chemical products.
Ingredients:
- Peels of three bananas (rich in phosphorus and potassium, aiding soil moisture)
- One clove of garlic (an excellent fungicide and bactericide)
- Neutral detergent
- One liter of water
