Anthuriums come from South America, where they live in the midst of lush, warm jungles, especially on the trunks of trees or in the canopy of the forest.
Why anthuriums grow on trees? They grow on the trees, because it allows them to a large part of the water to be received from fog and rain, while still being subjected to the drying wind. They are paradoxical plants because they have a lot of water, but prolonged contact with moisture may harm them. By those in trees, their roots kept from standing water and they are able to dry off a bit before the next rainfall.
When choosing a planting medium, you will find that the majority of the board mixing plants too much water retention. So if you have this kind of mixing your anthurium may be short-lived as it slowly and gradually drowning of excess water. What happens is that the excess water blocks oxygen from the root system and allows anaerobic bacteria and fungi grow. These microorganisms then start attacking your plant and cause root rot.
To avoid this, you must make your own compost. Your soil mix should quickly deflate and should be light and loose your anthurium healthy. Five parts miracle grow moisture control potting soil, 2 parts peat moss, 2 parts orchid plant media and 1 part perlite: To the best potting mix. Mix well and then your anthurium plants in it. This mixture works well, because it drains quickly and it comes closest to the estimated natural growth media of anthurium plants.
