- Pruning: You can prune the plants at any time any season. Cut out the, bite leaves, faded leaves (white or dries), unnecessary branches or stems, and weeds near the soil potting.
- Best Fertilizer for Blooming: In the market, lots of compost are available but NPK 19-19-19, bone meal and tea compost are the best fertilizer for healthy and large blooming. After 30 to 40 days, fertilize all the plants.
Blooming Months: Flowers start to bloom on the plant after 3 to 4 months (after sowing seeds). Anthurium plants bloom many types of flowers like red, pink, white, light pink to yellow shades, purple…etc. These flowers last for 2 to 4 weeks.
