Propagation of Anthurium by Extracting and Cutting Branches

Propagating Anthurium plants by division is a popular method to reproduce Anthurium plants. The plant grows very quickly, so the method of dividing the young plant from the mother plant is the most effective. In addition, you can propagate by tissue culture from leaves and seeds.

Below is the most detailed method of propagation by separating seedlings from the mother plant.

Preparation before propagating anthurium

– Soil: The soil needs to be fresh and porous, and retain moisture well. You can use pre-mixed clean soil available on the market.

– Substrate: loose alluvial soil, mixed with burnt rice husks, coconut fiber, manure or composted organic fertilizer…

– Planting pot

– Healthy seedlings without pests or diseases.

Steps to propagate Anthurium

The separation method is simple, easy to perform and brings the highest efficiency, so it is mainly applied in practice.

Step 1:

For seedlings, it is necessary to separate from the mother plant that has been planted for more than 4 months and has about 3 - 4 young leaves.

Step 2:

When separating, use a sharp knife to cut close to the base, along with 1-2 roots.

- Soak the cut part in Zinep solution 20g/10l of water for about 5 minutes. Then gently place it in the pot, add the growing medium and press firmly around,

- Pay attention to plant horizontally at the root collar, not too deep or too shallow. Plant the base in another pot.

Step 3:

Then take the water hyacinth roots, tie them together, incubate for a while until they grow roots, then plant them in pots.

Step 4:

As for the mother plant, continue to cultivate it. After a while, the plant will grow new shoots, when the shoots have 2-3 leaves, continue to cut them to grow into trees.

Step 5: Planting

Place the plant in the middle of the pot, fill the growing medium up to the root collar and compact it so that the roots have good contact. Place the pot in a shady place or in a covered greenhouse to prevent the plant from wilting.

Growing conditions

Anthurium is a plant that likes coolness and high humidity.

Suitable humidity is usually from 70 to 80%
Suitable temperature is from 18-20oC
Watering

In the beginning, water enough to keep it moist 1-2 times/day,
When the plant grows and especially during the flowering period, water 1-2 times/day depending on weather conditions. But do not let the pot get waterlogged, it can easily cause disease and kill the plant.

– How to prune old leaves:

Need to prune old leaves to create ventilation for the planting bed and for flower buds to develop well. Use a sharp, clean knife to cut the leaf stalk, leaving 2-3 cm. After cutting each bed, clean the knife and sterilize it with alcohol before cutting the next bed.
