Two decades ago, anthuriums were cultivated largely as a cut flower
crop. Now, anthuriums are internationally produced and traded as
both cut flowers and potted blooming plants.
Large anthurium nurseries can be found the world over:
The main Anthurium growing belts are the tropical areas of the
world.
Anthurium is a genus of more than 800 species found in the
New World tropics from Mexico to northern Argentina and Uruguay;
species are also native to the West Indies.
They are grown for their brightly colored flower spathes and/or
their ornamental leaves.
Shading from Sunlight is Necessary for Normal Growth for Anthuriums.
The Degree of Shading varies with the Cultivar, the Age of the
Plant, and the climate under which it is grown.
The shade requirements usually range from 50% to 90% of full sunlight.
Insufficient Shading often results in damage to leaves and flowers, and may cause plant death.
Damage to flowers include fading of Spathes (especially pastels) and
Burning of Spadices.
Many producers use saran cloth houses supported with lumber or
Glavanized pipes and wire.
Fertilizing should not be an issue for quite a few months.
If you are going to fertilize, use a light solution of a 3:1:2 ratio and it is probably best to dilute to 1/4 strength.
New plants are established by dividing the roots in the spring and potting the
separated pieces.
