THE anthurium form a plant genus of the Araceae family, which includes 600 to 800 species, even 1000 species: it is one of the largest and most complex genera of the family. New species are described every year (A year is a unit of time expressing the duration between two occurrences of a related event…).
The species have a neotropical distribution: most grow in the tropical rainforests of Central America (Central America is the part of the American continent between …) and America (America is a separate continent, west Asia and …). ) in the south (south is a cardinal point as opposed to north), but some grow in semi-arid environments.
They are found in the north (north is a cardinal point as opposed to south) from Mexico to Argentina and specifically in Panama, Colombia, Brazil, Guyana and Ecuador. They would be absent in Asia (Asia is one of the five continents or part of the Eurasia or Afro-Eurasia supercontinents of…), although they are present in some Asian rainforests where they would have been introduced.
Use
Several species are propagated as a plant (Plants (Plantae Haeckel, 1866) are multicellular creatures at the base of the…) dwelling because of the ornamental value of their leaves, such as Anthurium crystallinum, or because of their inflorescence (inflorescence is). the arrangement of the flowers on the stem of a flowering plant. This…) (spatha and red spadix), such as B. Anthurium scherzerianum.
Culture
Anthuriums appreciate regular spraying. Adding fertilizers (fertilizers are substances, usually mixtures of elements…) to the water (water is a ubiquitous chemical compound on earth, vital for everyone…) d lime-free watering (the limestones are sedimentary rocks, the third most common). after…) in spring (spring (from Latin primus, first, and tempus, time, this season marks once…) and summer, but water them less frequently in winter (winter is one of the). ( four seasons in temperate zones.) Cut off the faded flowers first, then the leaves when your plant becomes bushy.
Anthuriums adapt to a soil composed of soil (Earth is the third planet in the solar system in order of distance…), heather (pagans represent more than 800 dicotyledonous plant species in the world…), sand (sand , or arena, is a loose sedimentary rock, composed of small …) and compost; However, they prefer a mixture (A mixture is a combination of two or more solid, liquid or gaseous substances…) of Sphagnum (Sphagnum is a genus of mosses, Sphagnum. It is the only genus of the family of…), Perlite and peat (peat is the product of fossilization of plant residues over 1000 to 2500 years in…), possibly added pine bark (pine designated:). Some species willingly accept being attached to pieces of bark, as is the case with some orchids.
Anthuriums can be propagated by seed; It is then necessary to remove the seed (in the life cycle of “seed plants”, the seed is the structure that…) from the fruit (in botany, the fruit is the plant organ that protects the seed…) which as a cluster of small, fleshy berries appear, often shimmering in color (color is the eye’s subjective perception of one or more wave frequencies…), then install this seed on the desired support. The lifespan (life is the first name:) of the seeds is very short and requires immediate sowing. Regular spraying and good humidity promote the development of the plant.
The aerial roots of plants mounted as epiphytes would have characteristics very similar to orchids.
Characteristics
Anthurium is an extremely effective purification plant for removing ammonia (ammonia is a chemical compound with the formula NH3 (general group of…), to a lesser extent xylene (The term xylene refers to a group of three derivatives of… .) .).
Its perfume (A perfume is an odor or, more commonly, a more or less persistent olfactory composition…) can also cause migraines (from ancient Greek ημικρανίον…) and allergy (allergy is an abnormal, inappropriate, exaggerated reaction) and excessive of. ..).
