As a common indoor plant, Anthurium is deeply loved by people for its bright flowers and unique shape. However, sometimes we will find that the color of the Anthurium flowers gradually fades and becomes dull. This fading phenomenon has aroused people's curiosity, so this article will conduct an in-depth investigation into the reasons for the fading of Anthurium and propose corresponding countermeasures to help readers solve this problem.
1. Insufficient light: Why does light affect the color of Anthurium?
Anthurium requires sufficient sunlight to maintain its gorgeous flower color, and lack of light can cause the flower color to become dimmer. Ultraviolet and infrared rays in sunlight promote the color of Anthurium, while insufficient light will inhibit the synthesis of pigments in the flowers, causing fading.
2. Improper water management: Providing the correct water supply to Anthurium andraeanum requires higher water, but excessive watering or a dry environment will have a negative impact on its color. Excessive watering will cause root rot and affect the normal growth of plants, while a dry environment will cause Anthurium flowers to lose water and cause fading.
3. Temperature fluctuations: Stable temperature helps maintain the color of Anthurium. Anthurium is sensitive to changes in temperature. Too low or too high a temperature will cause the flowers to fade. In winter or summer, if suitable temperature conditions are not provided, the color of Anthurium will gradually darken and lose its bright characteristics.
4. Improper use of fertilizer: Correct fertilization can improve the fading of Anthurium andraeanum. Anthurium has a high demand for nutrients, but improper use of fertilizer can cause flower fading problems. Excessive fertilization or lack of key nutrients can lead to a decrease in the absorption capacity of plants, which can lead to dark flowers.
5. Invasion of pests and diseases: Protect Anthurium from pests and diseases. Anthurium is vulnerable to a variety of pests and diseases, such as aphids, powdery mildew, etc. These pests and diseases can destroy the normal growth of plants, causing anthurium flowers to darken or even wither. Timely measures to control pests and diseases are very important to maintain the beautiful color of Anthurium.
6. Soil pH value: A suitable soil pH value is conducive to the growth of Anthurium. Anthurium has strict requirements on soil pH value. Soil that is too acidic or too alkaline will have adverse effects on its growth. The imbalance of soil pH will cause plants to fail to absorb nutrients normally, which in turn will lead to the fading of flowers.
7. Moderate pruning: Reasonable pruning can help maintain the color of the Anthurium flowers Moderate pruning can help the Anthurium flowers maintain their gorgeous flower color. Timely pruning of dead branches and dead leaves and too long stems and leaves can help improve the nutrient supply and light permeability of Anthurium, thereby maintaining the bright color of the flowers.
8. Environmental humidity: Appropriate humidity conditions are important for Anthurium. Anthurium likes a humid environment, but excessive humidity or dryness will adversely affect its color. Appropriate humidity conditions can promote Anthurium to normally absorb water and nutrients and maintain its gorgeous flower color.
9. Leaf cleaning: Regular cleaning of leaf surfaces is conducive to the growth of Anthurium. Anthurium leaf surfaces are prone to dust and dirt, which affects the transmission of light. Gently wiping the leaves with a damp cloth regularly can help Anthurium maintain its gorgeous flower color.
10. Pay attention to reasonable fertilization: Scientific use of fertilizers helps the growth of Anthurium flowers. Anthurium flowers require appropriate amounts of nutrients to maintain their normal growth and flower color. Scientific use of organic fertilizers or special fertilizers and following the principle of moderate fertilization can provide the nutrients needed by Anthurium andraeanum, thereby maintaining its bright color.
11. Prevention and control of pests and diseases: Prevention in advance is the key. Prevention of pests and diseases is more important than treatment. Regularly inspect the leaf surfaces, stems and leaves of Anthurium andraeanum and find early symptoms of pests and diseases and take corresponding control measures in time to avoid the impact of pests and diseases on the color of Anthurium andraeanum.
12. Maintain a stable temperature: Provide a suitable growth environment. Anthurium likes a warm and stable environment, especially in winter or summer. Pay attention to maintaining a constant indoor temperature will help Anthurium maintain its gorgeous flower color.
13. Moderate pruning: Reasonable pruning can help promote the metabolism of plants. Moderate pruning can promote the metabolism of Anthurium, help improve the plant's utilization of light and nutrient absorption efficiency, thereby maintaining the bright color of the flowers.
14. Pay attention to water supply: Reasonable watering is the key. Anthurium has a high demand for water, but excessive watering or a dry environment will have an adverse impact on its color. Reasonable watering and maintaining moderately moist soil conditions will help Anthurium maintain its bright flower color.
15. Regular light adjustment: Provide appropriate sunlight to Anthurium flowers. Anthurium flowers require appropriate amount of sunlight to maintain the bright color of the flowers. According to the changes of the season, adjust the lighting conditions of the Anthurium in time so that it can be fully exposed to the sun, which helps to maintain the color of the Anthurium flowers.
Anthurium flower fading is caused by a variety of factors, including insufficient light, improper water management, temperature fluctuations, improper use of fertilizer, pest attack, soil pH, moderate pruning, environmental humidity, leaf surface cleaning and so on. Only reasonable management of these factors, providing suitable growth environment and nutrition supply, can help Anthurium maintain beautiful flower color.
