The natural fertilizer to prepare at home
Anthurium fertilization will be done from spring to fall, or when the plant is in vegetation. You can use a liquid chemical fertilizer designed for flowering plants every two weeks. If fertilization is insufficient, the flowers will not open or the anthurium will only produce new leaves.
Instead of using a chemical fertilizer, you can also prepare one at home, completely natural. Let’s see how.
You will need the peels of three bananas, known to be rich in phosphorus and potassium. They can help the soil stay moist enough. The peels should be cut into small pieces and placed in a bowl along with a clove of garlic, which is an excellent fungicide and bactericide, capable of helping the plant stay healthy.
Transfer everything to the bottom of a plastic bottle, previously removed from the cap, and add a little neutral detergent . The latter will not be harmful to the plant and will promote decomposition. Add a liter of water and place in a cool, dry place, preferably covered with a lid, for about 48 hours.
Filter the liquid obtained and pour it over the plant’s soil, very slowly, making sure that the soil absorbs it and then repeat the operation. You will notice that your anthurium becomes stronger and more vigorous in no time. Not only that, it will be protected from external agents and the attack of bacteria/plant diseases.
