Which remedy is suitable?
You can supply anthuriums with a commercially available liquid fertilizer for flowering plants. Long lasting too Fertilizer stick(€ 9.82 at Amazon *) are good. Does the plant stand in Hydroponics, be sure to use a special fertilizer for hydroponics!
When is fertilization carried out?
Even though the anthurium often blooms all year round on the windowsill, the plant is good for about eight weeks of hibernation. Do not fertilize at all during this time and resume the usual fertilizing interval in spring.
How often is fertilization done
Most houseplants should be routinely nourished once a week. The flamingo flower, on the other hand, only needs a fertilizer every two weeks. Accordingly, fertilizer sticks last twice as long as stated on the packaging.
How much fertilizer can be administered?
Over-fertilization leads to damage to all plants and should be avoided at all costs. For low consumers like the anthurium, half the dosage of a commercially available liquid fertilizer is sufficient. Halve the fertilizer stick and insert only half of the specified amount into the soil.
In the case of hydroponics, fertilization is used less often. Here it can be sufficient to fertilize the flamingo flower only two or three times during the entire growing season. Here, too, the following applies: Only administer half of the dosage indicated on the packaging.
Tips
If you are fertilizing, the soil shouldn't be too dry, as this could damage the roots. It has proven itself to be economical at first to pour and only a few hours later to administer the water with the fertilizer.
