by

Want your Anthurium plants to thrive and bloom beautifully? Discover a simple, natural fertilizer you can make at home to keep your Anthuriums healthy and vibrant.

Caring for Anthuriums

Anthuriums, also known as Anturios, are popular indoor plants known for their striking appearance. However, they require specific care and attention to grow lush and healthy. Here’s how you can create a natural fertilizer at home with just a few simple ingredients.

Benefits of Natural Fertilizer

Anthuriums need the right balance of vitamins and minerals to grow strong and healthy. While you can find suitable fertilizers in nurseries or supermarkets, opting for natural ingredients is a healthier and more eco-friendly choice. The primary ingredient for this homemade fertilizer is something you might typically throw away: potato peels.

Potato Peels: Rich in minerals like vitamin C, iron, calcium, and phosphorus, potato peels provide essential nutrients for plants. This DIY fertilizer is not only economical but also reduces waste by utilizing potato peels that are usually discarded.

DIY Fertilizer Recipe for Anthurium

Ingredients:

  • Peels from 2 medium-sized potatoes
  • A handful of cloves
  • 2 cinnamon sticks
  • ½ liter of water

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Mixture: In a pot, combine ½ liter of water, potato peels, cloves, and cinnamon sticks.
  2. Boil: Bring the mixture to a boil and let it simmer for at least 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Cool: Remove the pot from the heat and let the mixture cool.
  4. Strain: Using a strainer, transfer the cooled mixture into a spray bottle.

Using the Fertilizer

Application:

  • Spray on Plants: Use the fertilizer to spray on both the leaves and the soil of your Anthurium plants.
  • Frequency: Apply the fertilizer once a week or every two weeks, depending on the plant type, season, and exposure. For Anthuriums, which prefer indoor sunlight, spray the solution once a week to see improvements in both leaves and flowers.

With this natural fertilizer, your Anthurium plants will grow lush and healthy, adding a vibrant touch to your indoor space. Try it today and watch your plants flourish! 🌱🌿
