The flower, popularly nicknamed “male happiness”, is demanding of the soil composition.

Experienced gardeners have revealed a secret “ingredient” that will ensure lush flowering of this plant.

This component can be bought or tried to find in nature. Many gardeners put moss in the pot, but they do not do it for beauty.

Anthurium does not like too wet soil. Florists try not to overdo it when watering, otherwise the roots begin to rot almost immediately.

The optimal humidity level helps to retain moss. It absorbs excess water, reducing the likelihood of root rot.

Anthurium requires special soil. It should contain sphagnum moss, coal, and peat. The last component slightly acidifies the soil, which is also beneficial for anthurium.

You can buy ready-made soil for the flower. The one that is mixed specifically for orchids will do. In such a nutrient medium, the anthurium has no choice but to bloom profusely.
