Here are some tips!<!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Anthurium potting compost<\/h2>\n<p>Actually, most of the roots produced by the Anthurium are aerial roots that can easily suffocate in a standard potting compost. This is why they grow so well in an air and moisture-permeable soil mixture. This potting compost will ensure that the plant remains slightly moist at all times but also has enough contact with air and is kept properly drained. A rich supply of nutrients is also essential. You can provide this yourself by combining some garden soil with large quantities of sphagnum moss and peat. Or, you could buy a special ready-made Anthurium potting compost with a composition created specifically for the Anthurium. If this is not available, a good orchid soil also serves its purpose.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also read:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/anthuriuminfo.com\/blog\/een-anthurium-kamerplant-op-water-zo-doe-je-dat\/\"><strong>An Anthurium houseplant in water: a DIY project<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Repotting an Anthurium plant<\/h3>\n<p>It is a good idea to repot older Anthurium plants into a new air-permeable mixture once every two years.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also read: <a href=\"https:\/\/anthuriuminfo.com\/en\/repotting-your-anthurium\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Repotting your Anthurium: a few tips<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>How to use Anthurium potting compost<\/h3>\n<p>\u2022 Before repotting, remove the pot and immerse the Anthurium root ball in lukewarm water.<br \/>\n\u2022 Then place it into its new pot.<br \/>\n\u2022 Fill the pot with your self-made or purchased Anthurium potting compost.<br \/>\n\u2022 Follow up by giving the plant enough water.<\/p>\n<p>The Anthurium doesn&#8217;t need to be fertilised for the first two months after repotting.
