What is the best fertilizer for anthiriums?

Answer 1

I have had great success with Miracle gro. Easy, works, not expensive, and you can adjust the amount of crystals you use to make mild (half strength) batch that is safely used every time you water.

Answer 2

Organic ferlitzers are rather "iffy". One never knows how composted they may be, nor what analysis you might get.

It's rather difficult to go wrong with any balanced fertilizer like 10-10-10, particularly if it's water soluable.

BTW, there are a LOT of anthuirums that have rather humble flowers, but the foliage is stunning!

Answer 3

FERTILISATION

Organic fertilizers such as cow or chicken manure are recommended for planting. Inorganic fertilizers should be applied one month after planting. Dry fertilizer applications may result in scorching of the roots, fertilizers should therefore be applied at drip circle and watered in or applied in solution at month Alternatively, soluble fertilizers such as Phostrogen or Peter's Special can be used bi-monthly. Application rates are usually 15g per plant for granular applications and 2g per litre of water for solutions.

Answer 4

Use a slow release fertiliser, one specifically for flowering plants, you can buy this at your garden centre and it lasts depending on variety from 6-12mths.
Alternately you can use a liquid fertiliser, there is a product called Bloom Booster that is quite good.
The plant itself needs to be kept quite damp but not wet, and does well in peaty type soils.
