Matters needing attention in hydroponic culture of Anthurium andraeanum
Fertilization: It is best to choose special fertilizer for hydroponic Anthurium. General compound fertilizer is not suitable for its growth because of its high alkalinity and low magnesium content. Every time it changes water, it drops 1-3 drops into the water, depending on the size of the container. Lighting: Anthurium aquiculture should be placed in a bright window with diffuse light. Water-cultured flowers are different from soil-cultured flowers. Water-cultured flowers can't have direct light to irradiate the roots, otherwise it will inhibit the roots or cause photo-oxidative damage, which will lead to the roots turning black, rotting seriously and losing vitality. Cut off the rotten roots and let them all soak in nutrient solution.
