Anthurium Picanta Red, cu masca deco si sistem autoirigare, ingrijire usoara

Anthurium ‘Picanta Red’ is a spectacular variety of anthurium, noted for its waxy flowers, of an intense and glossy red, which beautifully contrast with the large, green, and glossy leaves. It is an elegant and refined plant, ideal for decorating indoor spaces, bringing a touch of exoticism and natural freshness.

Watering system: self-watering pot, equipped with WaterWick technology and a ceramic container from the Easy Care range, with a lip that holds the suspended growing pot. This system allows the plant to extract the necessary amount of water by itself, through a wick that transports water from the tray, which in this case acts as a reservoir, to the roots. Thus, the plant benefits from constant and balanced hydration, reducing the risk of drying out or overwatering.

Care:

1. Light: Prefers indirect light, bright area. It can tolerate partial shade, but flowering will be more abundant under adequate light conditions. Avoid direct sun exposure, which can burn the leaves.
2. Soil: Prefers well-drained soil, rich in organic matter. A mix of potting soil with perlite and peat is ideal to ensure necessary drainage.
3. Watering: Watering should be regular, keeping the soil evenly moist but not saturated. Let the soil dry slightly between waterings to prevent root rot. In winter, reduce watering slightly.
4. Humidity: Anthurium prefers a high humidity level. Regular misting of the leaves or using a humidifier can be beneficial, especially in winter months.
5. Temperature: The plant grows best at temperatures between 18-25°C. Avoid exposure to temperatures below 15°C and protect the plant from cold drafts.
6. Fertilization: Fertilize the plant once a month during the growing period (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer for indoor plants. Reduce fertilization during autumn and winter.
7. Propagation: Anthurium is propagated by dividing the clump or by stem cuttings. Division is best done in spring.
8. Common problems: The plant can be affected by pests such as red spider mites and aphids. Check the plant regularly and treat with appropriate insecticides if necessary. Overwatering can lead to root rot and mold development.
