Homiful.com — Did you know that you can force anthurium to bloom faster? There are some tricks you can use to get anthurium to bloom while remaining healthy and beautiful throughout the season. There are numerous alternatives to fertilization. Take a look at the following testimonial.
Provide adequate lighting
You can give the anthurium the right lighting because it enjoys it. This plant should be kept in the sun, but not in direct sunlight. The windowsill is the best place to keep it blooming all day. Direct sunlight should be avoided because it can burnt the leaves.
Raise the humidity
The next thing you can do to encourage anthurium blooming is to add moisture to the soil. Replace it twice a week in a pot with pebbles filled with water.
Appropriate fertilization
The main key to making plants flower faster is to fertilize them more frequently. Every 10 days, apply a phosphorus-rich fertilizer containing a diluted 14 – 14 -14 mixture.
Alter the watering schedule
Summer and winter watering schedule for anthurium are quite different. Water 1 -2 times per day during the summer.
The key to making the plant bloom faster is fertilizing it more often. Use a phosphorus-rich liquid fertilizer, or a 14-14-14 mix, diluted to a quarter of its strength, once every 10 days. You can also use orchid fertilizers diluted to 10-20% of their strength.
6. Right Potting Mix
For fast blooming, grow anthuriums in a well-draining potting mixture. Keep in mind that waterlogged soil can submerge the roots by stopping them from soaking in oxygen. This impairs the plant, causes root rot, and affects blooming.
7. Keep them in Small Pots
Use the proper potting mix
Choose a well-drained potting mix if you want your anthurium to flower quickly. Flooded soil can cause havoc by drowning anthuriums and causing root rot, both of which can affect disposal.
Place it in a small pot

The best way to make an anthurium bloom is to keep it in a slightly root-bound stage. However, do make sure that you don’t end up overdoing it.
If you see roots appearing on the topsoil or coming out from the drainage hole at the bottom, re-pot the plant into a bigger pot.
8. Prune the Plant!
Fading leaves and blooms take up a lot of energy from the plant as it tries to save them. Pruning on time will ensure the plant diverts its energy back into producing more spathes. Always use sanitized pruning shears.
