caring for anthurium



Category: thoughts & plans | Posted: Tue Nov 04, 2008 6:27 am

one major job i have to is splitting and repotting anthuriums. i prefer doing it in the evenings, because it is cooler with setting sun. and my plants are doing well with the shade net housing. i am waiting for the new flowersto start.
did some pruning to the bonsais today. when i see the japanese bonsais i am not sure whether mine can be called bonsai at all. it defenitely is an amature's attempt.
some pics of how i started.


the same tree when i potted in 1993 and when it was about 10 yrs.

Spacing depends upon size with miniature varieties spaced four to six inches apart, and Giant varieties one to two feet apart.Once your Zinnia plants are established, they should grow well. Soil should be moist, but not wet. Water them during dry periods, once or twice per week.
