Anthurium - signs and superstitions
Do not ignore the signs that the green herald sends you. Perhaps you are given a chance to turn the situation in the right direction. Signs from male happiness usually have reliability.
Spathiphyllum and anthurium - in fact, is it the same plant or not? Both belong to the genus of perennial herbaceous evergreens of the Aroid or Aronnikov family. The distribution area of both plants extends from Central to South America, spathiphyllum is also found in the Old World: Philippines, New Guinea, Palau, Solomon Islands.
Both plants are found in various forms, which are dominated by epiphytes, semi-epiphytes and hemiepiphytes. AT wild nature they grow on trees, sending out aerial roots that descend to the ground and feed on the litter of the rainforest.
But “female happiness” does not have a stem - the leaves are collected in a bunch directly from the soil, “ male flower»has thick, mostly shortened stems. Leaves of plants differ noticeably: in spathiphyllum - the leaf has an oval or lanceolate shape with a distinct median vein, the shape of the leaf repeats the shape of the petal; in anthurium, the leaf differs in shape from the petal (spatulate, rounded, with blunt tops), has a deep core base and has an oily sheen.
Inflorescences (cobs) of spathiphyllum have shades from pale green to white and oblong-elliptical shape. Anthurium is characterized by a variety of shapes and colors of the cob: cone-shaped, club-shaped, spiral; red, pink, orange, purple or white, or combinations thereof. The flowers of "male happiness" are more rigid and dense.
The names of both plants came from the merger of two Greek words. Spathiphyllum: "spat" - coverlet, "phyllum" - leaf; anthurium - "anthos" - color, "oura" - tail. Botanical reference books indicate Latin names: Spathiphyllum and Anthurium.
Reference! Thanks to the white flowers, spathiphyllum is also called " white sail”, and Anthurium, for the bright color of the flowers and the similarity of the shape of the flower with the grace of a bird, was nicknamed the “flamingo flower”. Anthurium has another nickname - "wax flower", given for excessive decorativeness, which resembles artificial flowers.
Spathiphyllum was discovered in the 70s of the 19th century by the German botanist G. Wallis in the jungles of Ecuador. Anthurium was discovered in the same period by the French botanist E.F. André during an expedition to South America.
In honor of both researchers, the most popular varieties of these plants were subsequently named.
This is Anthurium:
And this is a spathiphyllum:
On the next photo you can see what the flowers look like if you take care of them properly.
Since both the spathiphyllum and the beautiful anthurium create a harmonious tandem and look good side by side, the question of whether these flowers can be kept side by side disappears by itself. Although some flower growers "breed" flowers because of the light-loving nature of anthurium and the need for shading for spathiphyllum.
In spite of folk omens, experienced growers do not recommend growing plants in the same pot because they need different conditions planting and maintenance (different requirements for watering and lighting, the soil for planting spathiphyllum and anthurium is also different) and most likely they will not get along together. With a high degree of probability, the more fleshy and viable "male flower" will not allow the root system of the "female" to fully develop, and the latter will die.
There are about 45 varieties of spathiphyllum, the most popular are:
Anthurium is the most numerous genus of its family, and has more than 900 varieties. The most famous:

Anthurium is able to bloom from February to November when creating the appropriate microclimate. All types of antarium smell. Flowers of "male happiness" amaze with a variety of colors and shades, most often varieties that give flowers of red shades are grown at home.
Important! During the flowering period, it is not desirable to get water on the inflorescences of plants, otherwise the flowers may get sick and die.

We offer you to watch an informative video about spathiphyllum and anthurium:
On the last eighth of March, I was presented with an anthurium. As befits most flowers in pots, it bloomed beautifully for a week or two, and then began to fade inevitably. But after all, his mother-in-law gave it to me, which means that the death of the flower threatened me with a serious loss of the reputation of the hostess!
I searched the entire Internet, called flower girls, even went to a flower show. And that's what I learned about the flowering of anthurium ... I share this information with you - do not repeat my mistakes!
Ideally, the anthurium should begin to bloom in March - April.
No flowers? Most often, the problem lies in improper care, or lack of care as such. If you correct all the mistakes, your pet (by the way, it is sometimes also called a flamingo flower) will be covered with flowers after 2-3 months.
The roots should not “hang out” in a pot, otherwise the anthurium will throw all its forces not on flowering, but on their growth. Transplantation is done by transshipment. Ideal time: March to September. And do not damage the root, otherwise the flower will "lick its wounds" instead of flowering.
Pay attention to whether the soil you have chosen is suitable for this particular type of plant. The earth can be bought ready-made or mixed at home. For example, it can be: universal soil plus coniferous bark in proportions of 1: 1.
Here you can also add perlite, coarse sand, needles, charcoal(little), sphagnum moss.
Leaves can tell about this - lightened and stretched out. Moreover, it is interesting: in order to bloom, the anthurium needs a lot of sun (south or west window or phytolamp), but as soon as the first buds appear, the flower becomes too susceptible to light, so burns (yellow spots) may even appear on its leaves.
This capricious needs 22-24 degrees. Moreover, the temperature should not "jump". By the way, a room temperature below 20 degrees may not completely “cancel” the flowering of this plant, but simply delay the appearance of flowers for a month.
Water should be soft (settled), watering is regular, but not excessive.
You need to water your pet in the morning, so you will check if there is any moisture left in the pot / pan. You can understand that it is time to water the flower on the ground: it must be dry not only outside, but also inside (dip your finger about a centimeter and check). During active periods of life (growth, flowering), more water is needed.
The material of the pot is also important: if it is clay, pour more water, since the clay "steals" part of it.
Traditionally, watering is carried out once a week in combination with spraying. And don't splash water on the flowers!
The flower is very afraid of them, so if you have old wooden windows, a flower in the cold season will be very uncomfortable on the windowsill.
For complete happiness, anthurium needs moist air, spraying, wiping the leaves from dust with a slightly damp cloth, rinsing (for example, in the shower - if you have an orchid, then you understand what I mean).
In winter, the flower does not need to be fertilized. In the warm period (from May to September), you can buy fertilizer for flowering species and apply it 1-2 times a month, and only a third of the standard rate.
Before top dressing, pour into the soil a little pure water so that the plant does not burn the roots. By the way, the taste of this flower is also "democratic" kurpomet, manure, humus.
Move the pot to the lighted side, wash the window, and if the day is still short, “lengthen” it with a fitolamp or led light bulb, including it for a couple of hours in the morning and evening.
if you have covered balcony, where you can stably maintain a temperature of 15-18 degrees, in winter, transfer the plant there for 50-60 days. Move the phytolamp after him.
After 2 months, return the pot to a warm (24 degrees) room, water abundantly.
Your baby needs phosphorus and potassium. They are in fertilizer for orchids, violets, roses, begonias. Not bad proved, in particular, fertilizer "Ideal". In addition, the plant can be sprayed with the Bud or Ovary flowering stimulator.
In early March, water the flower warm water(50 degrees).
Important! Such a procedure can be carried out no more than once a year!
