The tips of the leaves of the anthurium dry, what to do. Proper care and treatment of anthurium diseases at home

Indoor anthurium- a native of tropical thickets of southern countries. Being placed in a cramped pot and completely alien to him climatic conditions, he feels like a slave and often takes a long time to get used to new environment a habitat. You need to do your best to provide him comfortable conditions necessary not only for life, but also for a magnificent continuous perennial flowering. Anthurium flower, some call it differently, male happiness, is very picky about care and needs constant attention to itself. At the slightest deviation from the norm, problems can arise in the form of various diseases, which the flower usually tolerates very hard. This article will be about methods of treating anthurium diseases.

There are fungal, viral and non-infectious types of anthurium disease.

Anthurium cannot be cured with folk remedies, you just miss the time, and it will die. Therefore, remove and destroy all affected parts of the plant. Spray the flower with any fungicide. The most effective drugs are Fitosporin-M, Alirin-B and Fundazol. Carry out the spraying procedure on outdoors or in non-residential premises. Place the pot with anthurium in a large plastic bag, treat it with a fungicide, close the bag tightly and leave for 15 - 20 minutes in this state. Then open the package, carefully remove the flower, let it dry and only then put it in place. Repeat the treatment after 7-10 days. Watch the diseased plant - you may need a third treatment in a couple of weeks.

fungal diseases

The most common fungal infections are stem rot, root rot, septoria, fusarium, powdery mildew and rust.

For the treatment of fungal diseases, fungicides are used, special preparations for diseases of indoor flowers, and only them!

stem rot

If you regularly fill the flower, if after watering excess water stands in the pan for a long time, if the temperature in the room is below the permissible level, the anthurium will almost certainly get sick with a disease such as stem rot. Watery black spots will appear on the stem. The rot will gradually spread to other parts of the plant, the leaves will begin to rot. The affected parts of the plant will die. On the affected areas, under a magnifying glass, small sporangia are visible, initially white, then blackening.

What to do? Isolate the diseased flower. Cut off all affected parts of the plant. Spray the plant with a fungicide, such as phytosporin, twice a week apart. Check the plant for pest infestation. Perhaps he was attacked by thrips. If the disease is running, the flower must be destroyed. Check the living conditions of other flowers to prevent their diseases.

root rot

frequent watering, low temperature, poor drainage in a flower pot and other deviations from the norm can cause this disease. When the roots of the plant rot, its leaves turn noticeably pale, and then turn yellow and begin to fade. Roots become soft and rotten. The root shell peels off from its middle, the roots look frayed.

If the disease has not yet started, sharply reduce the watering of the plant, reduce the humidity in the room. Cut off dead leaves. Remove the plant from the pot, free the roots from the ground, cut off its damaged and rotten parts, and if there are areas of a healthy root system, plant the anthurium in a new pot with suitable healthy soil. Don't forget drainage! Water the plant with Fitosporin-M or Alirin-B preparations. Wait, the result should be positive. If the disease is running, and rotting has covered all the roots of the anthurium, it will not be possible to save the flower, it will most likely die.

Septoria

Brown spots appear on the leaves irregular shape with yellow or brown border. Under a magnifying glass on the spots, you can see tiny black dots of sporangia.

What to do:

Severely affected leaves are plucked and removed. Reduce air humidity. Stop spraying the plant with water. Feed the flower with fertilizer flowering plants. Check for insect pests. If there are none, spray with Fitosporin-M or copper-containing preparations.

Fusarium

With Fusarium on Anthurium, mass wilting of the leaves begins. They turn yellow and dry, and then fall off. White with pink tint plaque. A very dangerous disease. The infection is spread by water when watering plants, when air humidity and temperature are too high.

If the illness is initial stage– try spraying the above ground part of the plant with a fungicide, and apply a soil pesticide to the soil. Repeat the treatment after 5 - 7 days. But, keep in mind that effective way There is no cure for Fusarium. A diseased plant will most likely die and will need to be destroyed!

powdery mildew

At anthurium, the leaves began to turn yellow and curl. Their defeat is similar to chlorosis. But if the leaves not only turned yellow, but became noticeably smaller, the internodes grow shorter and shorter, then this is not chlorosis, but powdery mildew. Light gray spores are clearly visible on the back of the leaves - this is a fungus. With severe infection and no treatment, the leaves will dry out completely. What to do? Treat! using fungicides. (for a description of the treatment of fungal diseases, see above)

Rust

If light spots appear on the upper side of the sheet, and on the lower side - brown spots-pustules, most likely your anthurium has contracted a fungal infection called rust. On the underside of the leaves, spores develop rapidly, the spots merge together and the leaves dry completely. This disease must be treated with fungicides. (for a description of the treatment of fungal diseases, see above)

Viral diseases

Bronzing virus

If your pet's leaves have become partially discolored, wrinkles have appeared on the surface and small holes- perhaps the anthurium has become infected with the leaf bronze virus. This disease is usually carried by thrips from other affected plants.

Treatment, unfortunately, does not exist, the diseased plant will have to be destroyed. Inspect the rest of the flowers for infection with thrips, if necessary, fight these pests with insecticides (actara, actellik).

Noncommunicable diseases

Chlorosis

If you notice that yellow spots appear on the green leaves of your pet in bright light, this is evidence that the plant lacks nutrition, in particular magnesium and iron.

Feed your flowers regularly with an ornamental flowering plant fertilizer containing these elements.

Smallpox vegetable

If on beautiful leaves yellow-green bulges and yellowish annular spots suddenly began to appear on your anthurium - it means that you made a mistake somewhere in caring for it. This happens at low ambient temperatures and high humidity. If, moreover, you forgot about the regular feeding of anthurium, he will not have the strength to resist such a disease as smallpox.

Correct the mistakes in caring for the plant and patiently wait for the results.

If the leaves of your anthurium began to grow unevenly, twisted, became ugly and humpbacked in appearance, most likely your anthurium fell ill with enation. If the temperature often fluctuates in a room with a flower, there are drafts, then it is too humid, then it is too dry - then this is the reason. To be honest, the real cause of this disease is still not well understood. Try to establish proper care for the plant, and everything should return to normal.

Other problems with improper care

1. appeared on the leaves dark spots and points. Perhaps your pet is cold. Move it to a warmer and brighter place. Do not water more often than necessary.
2. The leaves turn yellow, their edges dry out. Perhaps the flower fell under the direct Sun rays and got burned. Remove the pot from the sun or shade the blinds, create diffused lighting.
3. The tips of the leaves are blackened. Perhaps an excess has formed in the soil nutrients especially calcium salts. Transplant your anthurium into new soil with a suitable potting mix.
4. Leaves turn yellow and wither. The room temperature may be below comfortable. Optimum temperature during the growing season 22 - 25 gr., during the winter dormancy 16 - 18 gr.
5. Lack of flowering. There are many reasons: poor lighting, poor soil, big pot, low humidity and others. Read about the reasons for the lack of flowering in anthurium in the corresponding article on our website. Eliminate these causes and get lush bloom for many years.
6. Anthurium leaves turn black. There are several reasons. Perhaps the water you use for irrigation is too hard; perhaps the water is too cold; perhaps it is chlorinated, did not have time to settle. Or perhaps you are not removing excess water from the pan. She stagnates there, and this provoked rotting of the roots. Soften hard water with a drop lemon juice or acetic acid. Water should have a temperature not lower than room temperature, and be settled. Water infrequently, but plentifully so that drainage holes at the bottom of the pot, excess water seeped into the pan. After some time, remove the water from the pan.
7. Anthurium leaves turn yellow in a number of cases: waterlogging of the soil; lack of soil in the pot, the roots stick out; drafts, lack of lighting; poor water for irrigation; bad soil; inappropriate ambient temperature. Analyze your conditions for keeping a tropical guest, eliminate errors - and everything will return to normal.
8. Anthurium leaves curled into a tube. Perhaps too bright lighting provoked anthurium to turn on a protective mechanism. Position your flower away from direct sunlight and the leaves will unfurl again.
9. Black spots appeared on the flowers. Perhaps you sprayed your plant carelessly, and large drops of water fell on the flowers. You need to spray the plant with a small sprayer carefully, without falling on the flowers. Another such embarrassment is obtained when the flower is incorrectly selected for the flower. soil mixture- There is a lot of calcium in the ground. This soil will have to be replaced.
10. Thickenings and tubercles appeared on the roots of anthurium. This means that the anthurium was struck by root nematodes. This disease is not treatable. Destroy the plant along with the pot.

Some General Tips for Preventing Common Diseases

Conclusion

As you already understood, anthurium at home requires special attention. But if you are not afraid of difficulties and strictly follow all the rules of its comfortable content, success is guaranteed to you! Anthurium will thank you for your love and delight you with its exotic beauty during magnificent flowering!

An original gift for any holiday is a flower "male happiness" or. Its interesting bright shade and peculiar structure make you look at it, enjoying its wondrous beauty. But in some situations, the plant has a blackening of the foliage. In order to take action, you should first determine the causes of the problem and then act on the flower.

Features of plant treatment:

• In such a situation, with a fungal disease or infection with bacteria or viruses, the chances of self-rescue are extremely small. When infected viral diseases or various infections, the probability of cure is extremely small. All leaf blades must be urgently removed and burned.
• With the development of septoria, the leaves should be sprayed with a chemical fungicide, which contains a large amount of copper. In case of rust development, the bush should be additionally sprayed, increasing the humidity of the air around, but the affected greenery should be completely removed and burned.
• To neutralize anthracnose, it is necessary to reduce watering and irrigate the anthurium with preparations with the addition of copper fungicides. Additionally, the soil substrate should be treated with the Abiga-Peak chemical preparation. If there is no way to cure a plant, it has to be completely burned so that the disease does not spread to other plants.
• To eliminate Fusarium wilt, you will have to treat the plant with copper insecticides and irrigate the soil substrate with glyocladin. It is best recommended to get the shrub out of the ground, remove all the soil, keep the plant for a short period in a weak solution of potassium permanganate and plant it in fresh soil. The latter must first be disinfected.

Leaves turn black - reason: pests

Enough dangerous adversary is a spider mite.

What to do, how to get rid of them?

More information can be found in the video:

So that the anthurium is not exposed various diseases and the invasion of pests should constantly monitor its condition. It is necessary to take care of the flower and carry out quality care capricious plant. Otherwise, it is possible to lose the entire bush.

As practice shows, anthurium is a difficult plant for home growing. It is sensitive to temperature and humidity conditions. For him, temperature drops, drafts, waterlogging and overdrying of the soil are detrimental. Having received the wrong care, the anthurium is sick. Leaf and root diseases make themselves felt immediately. So, anthurium - leaf and root diseases with photos and descriptions from specialists.

Common anthurium leaf diseases with photo

How to treat anthurium and its diseases? Photos, description of signs, causes of diseases and effective treatment.

Anthurium was recently purchased. its leaves covered with brown spots. At first, they turned yellow on the underside of the leaf plate, and then completely covered with brown spots. The cause of anthurium leaf disease is hypothermia. Perhaps the plant was moved down the street from the store to the house at sub-zero temperature, perhaps the flower was exposed to low temperatures when caring for at home.

Anthurium does not tolerate the action of low temperatures and drafts. As a result, its leaves are covered with brown spots. How to treat such an anthurium and its leaf diseases (pictured)? If it is 2-3 leaves from the crown, then they are removed. The plant is transferred to a warm place where there are no drafts. Reduce watering until the topsoil dries out between waterings. If the anthurium is completely covered with brown spots, then it is almost never possible to save it.

Why do anthurium leaves turn yellow? Very often, the anthurium turns yellow from waterlogging (example in the photo). How to treat such leaf diseases? Yellowed leaves indicate problems with the root system. She rots. This can be either the result of waterlogging the soil where the flower grows, or the use of water with a high percentage of chlorine and salts. Anthurium leaves turn yellow after a high concentration of fertilizer is applied to dry soil.

In any case, the flower is taken out of the pot. Remove all soil from the root system. Look closely at the roots. All affected roots must be removed. They are cut off sharp knife. Cut points should be sprinkled with crushed activated carbon. For transplanting, use pots smaller than the previous container. After transplantation, the irrigation regime is normalized and only soft, settled water is used.

Common diseases of anthurium and their treatment with a photo from an incorrect transplant. In most cases, incorrect transplantation is reflected in the leaves of the plant. They are covered with brown spots, which eventually dry and crumble. Anthurium is transplanted only by transshipment. For transplanting, use soil for orchids (1 part) and mix it with 1 part of soil based on high-moor peat. The pot is taken one size larger than the previous one. If the plant is not sick, then the earthen lump around the root system is not disturbed.

If, after transplantation, brown spots appear on the leaves of the anthurium, this indicates a violation of the root system. The plant is not removed from the pot, but it is watched. Watering is minimized, that is, watered as the topsoil dries. It is recommended to add Kornevin to the water. Spraying can also be carried out outside root top dressing. Fertilizer cannot be applied to the soil. This will cause even more damage to the flower.

Anthurium was transplanted, but brown spots continue to appear on new leaves, what should I do in this case? This indicates a violation of the proper care of the plant. It is recommended to transplant the flower into a smaller diameter pot with minimal disruption of the root system.

Why else can anthurium have brown spots on the leaves? Cause dry indoor air. The plant needs spraying, especially in summer time.

Anthuriouam receives proper care, but brown spots appear on its leaves. What to do? In this case, you need to look at the composition of the soil. It should be loose, which contributes to the penetration of air to the root system and prevents stagnant water. Heavy soil is oversaturated with moisture, from which the root system begins to rot. If the soil is not heavy, but spots still appear on the leaves of the anthurium, this indicates a lack of moisture. Too loose soil passes water and air well, but at the same time, the roots do not have time to drink. The result is brown spots.

Common diseases that anthurium is prone to with a lack of nutrients is leaf deformation. The photo shows an example. Treatment of anthurium disease comes down to its transplantation and regular feeding. Water the plant only from above. Only in this way can you evenly moisten an earthen lump. In addition, overhead watering helps to dissolve nutrients from upper layers soil.

What to do if anthurium leaves turn yellow? First you need to determine the reasons why the leaves of anthurium turn yellow. First, the leaves of the plant turn pale from lack of light. In this case, the flower is moved to a bright place, but in no case under direct sunlight. Perfect option- windows on the east or west side of the house.

Secondly, yellow leaves on the plant indicate an excess of fertilizer in the soil. At the same time, spots appeared only on old leaves of anthurium. New ones grow healthy and large sizes. for some time (up to 1 month) stop any flower feeding. Then apply fertilizer in very small quantities.

Anthurium is a guest of a distant country with a different climate and requirements for living conditions. Pampered by a long warm period with fairly bright lighting, a light composition of the substrate, and sufficient air humidity, under new conditions, exotics often become the object of disease and pest damage. Outwardly, the disease most often manifests itself on the leaves. Therefore, it is very important to correctly determine what got anthurium sick, how to treat leaf diseases. The descriptions, photos and drawings below will help you determine the cause and find the right solution when treating your pet.

What are the diseases of Anthurium and the causes of their occurrence

Violation of sanitary standards

The root cause of the occurrence of diseases is the attitude of the owner to the acquired houseplant. A flower needs time to adapt to new conditions. The plant needs individual monitoring to exclude the presence of infection.

To keep your flowers healthy, it is necessary to isolate all newly purchased indoor plants for 2 weeks from other crops, keep them in quarantine conditions. For this period healthy plants adapt, continue to grow and develop. Patients will show external signs diseases.

Disease groups

Diseases indoor plants divided into 2 groups: non-infectious and infectious.

Noncommunicable diseases are the result of a violation of the content of the flower in conditions that do not meet its requirements. Such diseases do not affect other plants. When the source of the disease is eliminated, they recover without causing damage to other crops.

infectious diseasesand I cause pathogenic infections that necessarily affect other plants. Changing hosts, pathogenic fungi, bacteria and viruses multiply rapidly and in a short time can destroy almost all nearby plants.

Elimination of non-communicable diseases

Non-communicable diseases include: violation of environmental requirements - draft, low temperature, dry air, improperly selected substrate, top dressing, watering, natural aging of the plant.

Problem: Leaves curl all over the plant.

Talks about problems appearance leaves

Cause and solution of the problem:

Improper care of anthurium;

Violated requirements for environment. The plant is located in a draft. Not enough lighting or too bright scorching lighting. Maybe the air is dry, and watering is plentiful. When the requirements are normalized, the flower recovers.

Problem: Anthurium leaves began to turn yellow.

Leaves turn yellow

Cause and remedy

• If the lower leaves gradually turn yellow.

The natural aging of the plant is manifested. It is enough to carefully cut off the old leaves with a disinfected tool. The plant needs rejuvenation. Yellowing leaves can cause disease.

The second cause of yellowing of the leaves are diseases: chlorosis, gray rot

• At young plant leaves turn yellow all over the plant.

Possibly too bright lighting. It is enough to shade the plant or rearrange it in a less lit place.

yellowing leaves on anthurium

• The green color turns pale, the leaves become yellowish.

Lack of lighting. In the autumn-winter period, additional illumination is necessary.

The leaves of the plant turn pale from lack of light.

Problem: Anthurium leaves dry out

Drying anthurium leaves

Cause and remedy

• Violation of temperature and humidity conditions.

– Possible cause is a draft. Move the plant to another place or eliminate the cause of the draft.

– There may be dry air in the room. It is necessary to install humidifiers, systematically humidify the air without getting drops of moisture on the flowers.

– Insufficient watering. If the soil is dry to the depth of the phalanx of a finger, watering is necessary. In the future, normalize the watering of the plant.

Problem: spots of different colors and diameters appeared on the leaves of the anthurium.

Brown, yellow spots. From an excess of light, anthurium leaves get burned.

Cause and remedy

• Certificate sunburn. Relocation or shading required. It appears as brown spots randomly located on leaf blades. Move to another place and create the optimal temperature regime.

Problem: young leaves are too large with an unusual pale green color. Leaves take on different colors.

Cause and remedy

• An overabundance of fertilizers, especially nitrogen.
• Violation of the amount and ratio of nutrients in the soil.

Additional watering is needed to flush out excess fertilizer. Adding agrovermiculite to the substrate. Reduce doses or temporarily eliminate top dressing. If the rules for feeding are not violated, a lack of trace elements is likely. Carry out top dressing with a half dose of microelements (buy in a store).

Problem: the tips of the leaves dry out throughout the plant, sometimes the leaf turns completely black.

Cause and remedy

• Perhaps the humidity of the air and soil is greatly reduced;
• roots lack pot space;
• little oxygen is supplied to the roots;
• the soil is overly fertilized, contains an increased amount of calcium.

If the humidity is normalized, but the tips continue to dry, sometimes gradually capturing the entire leaf blade, it is necessary to transplant the anthurium into a new, properly prepared substrate, reduce the doses and reduce the number of top dressings.

Problem: the inflorescence dries and blackens.

Cause and remedy

• The natural flowering period ends;
• Too bright lighting, possible sunburn;
• The flowers got water when spraying;
• The humidity regime of air and soil is disturbed.

Cut off diseased inflorescences with a bract. Shade the plant. Normalize the humidity regime. In the pallet, expanded clay or pebbles should be kept constantly wet. Exclude when spraying and watering the ingress of water on the inflorescence and the bedspread.

Problem: Anthurium leaves lose turgor, wither, but do not fall off.

Cause and remedy

• Too frequent and abundant watering;
• Damage to the root system by fungal rot.

The plant must be urgently transplanted into another disinfected pot or other flower container. Change the soil completely. Rinse the roots warm water with a weak solution of potassium permanganate. Cut off diseased roots. Dry for 20-30 minutes. Treat with root and land, observing all the rules.

Infectious diseases of anthurium

If all the violations made when caring for the anthurium were corrected, but the flower continues to hurt, and nearby plants began to fall ill, this is clearly an infectious lesion.

Arturium is the most commonly affected infectious disease, with most diseases transmitted through external environment:

• stem and root rot;
• leaf rust;
• anthracnose (powdery mildew present and false);
• fusarium wilt;
• septoria, etc.

When treating houseplants, it is safest to use biofungicides. They do not harm the health of humans, animals and birds. They can be used in tank mixes with bioinsecticides (against pests). Treat plants with a disease at least 2 times a month. For prevention, treatments are carried out once a month, less often if the plants look absolutely healthy.

Stem and root rot

The plant as a whole quickly fades. Depressed dark spots appear on the surface of the roots and near the basal part of the stem, covered with a white or gray dense coating. This plaque is the mycelium of the fungus, which forms asci with spores (small black dots are visible) that infect other plants. The stem is watery, rotten when touched.

Dense gray mold appears on leaves and even (in advanced cases) on inflorescences. Typical for young plants recently transplanted into new containers with fresh substrate.

Causes and treatment

The mycelium of the fungus, growing in the soil, is introduced into root system. Infection occurs during transplantation into infected, poorly disinfected soil, poorly prepared planting capacity. The cause of the disease may be abundant watering with poor drainage, lack of ventilation.

For treatment, remove the plant from the pot. Replace thoroughly decontaminated substrate and planting container. Examine the plant, cut off all the affected roots and leaves. Wash the roots in potassium permanganate, treat according to the recommendations with biofungicides:

• root;
• planriz;
• phytodoctor;
• phytocide;
• gaupsin.

You can spray the above-ground mass with the same preparations or use biofungicides in tank mixtures:

• trichodermin;
• phytosporin-M;
• hamair;
• Alirin and others.

leaf rust

The causative agent is a group of rust fungi that have the ability to long time maintain viability on infected plant debris.

rust on anthurium

External manifestation of the disease

Loose thickenings are visible on leaf blades and stems orange color. The brown-rusty shade determined the name of the disease. With a strong infection, the leaves and the whole plant dry out and fall into the shortest time.

Causes and treatment

Transfer of spores from other infected plants. The content of plants in conditions of violation of the temperature and humidity regime. Too frequent and abundant spraying. Lack of ventilation. The plant can bend to one side due to damage to the stem.

• To prevent fungal diseases, anthurium leaves are wiped with a 1% solution. Bordeaux mixture from two sides.
• Sick leaves and shoots are torn off and burned.
• For treatment, the same biological products are used as for protection against rot. The diseased plant is sprayed 2 times a month.

You can use chemical fungicides Topaz, Ordan, Acrobat. Be careful. The drugs are poisonous. Spraying should be carried out in a separate room in compliance with personal sanitary protection measures.

Powdery mildew in anthurium

The causative agents of anthracnose or powdery mildew(false and real) is a group of peronospore fungi. The spores of the fungus have an increased ability to survive on plant debris in harsh environmental conditions.

External manifestation of the disease

With a local lesion, a white-grayish pubescence appears on the lower, and then on the upper sides of the leaf, like a slight coating. With severe damage, the plant acquires a chlorotic appearance. violated external structure plants (leaves shrink, internodes shorten).

Causes and treatment

The main reason is high humidity air and violation temperature regime(higher or lower than optimal). When keeping the plant in conditions of low temperatures, refuse spraying. Air humidity and high temperatures can be reduced by ventilation without cooling drafts.

Rubbing is used for treatment. leaf blades 1% solution of Bordeaux liquid or a solution of systemic contact chemical fungicides - Acrobat, Topaz, etc.

It is safer to use biofungicides for spraying and incorporation into the soil during irrigation:

• gaupsin;
• trichodermin;
• planriza;
• gamaira;
• pentophage;
• bactophyta;
• pseudobacterin.

The use of biofungicides will provide maximum effect when applied as recommended.

Fusarium and Septoria

Fusarium and Septoria wilts infect plants upon contact with infected soil and with air currents saturated with spores. Fungal spores are highly resistant to high temperatures and some chemicals which makes disease prevention difficult.

Anthurium - diseases (septoria, chlorosis)

Fusarium damage to a flower Male happiness

Causes and treatment

Failure to comply with the phyto-sanitary regime when buying new plants. Violation of the requirements for plant transplantation. Do not allow the soil coma to dry out with abundant watering.

• From chemicals used for processing plants and soil Vitaros, Fundazol, Acrobat, etc.
• Of the biofungicides, the same tank mixtures are used as for other fungicidal lesions of anthurium.

Dear readers! You got acquainted with the external manifestations of the main non-infectious and infectious diseases of anthurium. Non-communicable diseases, with the normalization of basic environmental requirements and proper care, are curable. Infectious diseases, spreading many times faster, affecting nearby growing plants. These are mainly fungal infections, each of which has its own characteristics. With proper diagnosis and protective measures, plants can be saved. But if the defeat is extensive, better plant destroy.

Anthurium is beautiful plant which is grown at home. Its homeland is the tropics. Therefore, when growing this epiphyte, conditions should be created in which it can fully grow and develop. Therefore, it is very important to know if anthurium leaf diseases (photo) are cultivated, how to treat and prevent the most frequent problems with a plant.

What troubles can be encountered during cultivation. Among the main problems that can be encountered during the cultivation of a flower, the most common are diseases of the deciduous mass, namely:

1. Brown spots on anthurium leaves;
2. Anthurium leaves turn yellow;
3. Leaves fall;
4. Flowers do not appear;
5. The deciduous mass dries, dies, yellowing of individual fragments occurs.

In order for the growth and development of the plant to be complete, it is recommended to know what you may encounter during cultivation, as well as what to do in this case, how the flower is resuscitated if any disease appears.

Absence of inflorescences

Often, floriculture lovers complain that the majestic anthurium is fully developed, but at the same time, flowers do not appear on it. There can be many reasons why anthurium does not bloom, it is important to understand what caused such a phenomenon and eliminate the cause. The reason that the flowers turn green, inflorescences do not appear, often becomes a lack of lighting. When growing this plant, the intensity of lighting should be controlled, since this flower reacts equally negatively to an overabundance sunlight and its disadvantage.

What to do so that flowers can appear? At the time when the yellow anthurium begins to prepare for the formation of flowers, it is necessary to provide for it the maximum amount of lighting. If there is a shortage natural light, additionally install an artificial light source. So the plant will bloom and develop.

Indoor anthurium does not bloom and due to unsuitable temperature conditions. During the period when the plant is preparing for flowering, it can be transferred to a heating source. Optimal performance for temperatures are 22 degrees above zero. When too high temperature flowers may also not form, so the room temperature is reduced.

Another reason why anthurium does not have inflorescences is the non-compliance with the soil irrigation regime. Any deviations in watering can provoke the absence of flower buds. Also important is such an indicator as air humidity, as well as old dry flowers, which prevent the formation of new inflorescences, so it is recommended to cut off old flowers immediately after they have finished flowering. If the care is correct, the plant will soon please with abundant flowering.

Why do the leaves begin to dry

Sometimes there is such a problem that the leaf withered, begins to fade. Many leaves can dry out if proper care is not followed. The key factors by which anthurium leaves dry are:

1. Insufficient air humidity;
2. Improper irrigation of the soil substrate;
3. Septoria can also cause anthurium leaves to dry;
4. The negative impact of various pests.

Having found out why the leaves of the flower dry, it is necessary to begin treatment. Timely detection of the problem and the reason why it appeared allows you to restore the green mass of the plant.

To eliminate such a problem as high humidity, it is recommended to place near flower pot container with water, more often spray water from a spray bottle on the leaves, install a humidifier in the room.

Failure to properly water is also a solvable problem. The regularity of watering is due to the time of year. In the summer, the irrigation procedure is carried out often, the soil should not dry out. But the abundance of fluid also causes negative processes. Due to stagnant water, the root suffers, rot may appear on it, as a result of which the stem also begins to rot, and the leaves begin to dry out. The middle is important here. Water only when needed. IN winter time, when the air temperature in the room is lowered, the soil is irrigated less often and plentifully.

If only the border of the leaves dries up, after which the entire area begins to darken and dry out, this indicates the development of any diseases that need to be fought with fungicidal preparations, otherwise the flower dies. If the leaves begin to curl, wrinkle, whitish spots appear on them, this indicates a possible defeat of their aphids. Treatment consists in treatment with insecticidal preparations, for example, Karbofos or Aktelik.

Why yellowing of the green mass occurs

The reason for this problem may be non-compliance with the irrigation regime. The result is that mold appears on the root system, the roots can rot. And if there is stagnation of fluid in the pan, a rotten root is noted, which may die in the future. How to save a dying flower? It is recommended to transplant it into another soil substrate, moderately moist. Do not water until the soil is dry. So there is a chance that the roots will recover. If the roots are completely rotted, most likely, the plant cannot be saved.

Another reason that the green mass turns yellow is the use of an unsuitable liquid for irrigation. If the water contains a large composition of chlorine and heavy metal oxides, the roots may become too thin, and the leaves begin to blacken or become covered. yellow spots. Proper watering should be carried out with such water, which was previously settled for three days. It is recommended to use melt or rain water for humidification.

If anthurium is grown, leaf diseases (photo), how to treat, it is recommended to know, since this plant is quite demanding on growing and care conditions.

Another reason for the yellowing of the leaves is the location in the place where the direct rays of the sun fall on them. Or, conversely, with a lack of sunlight, such a nuisance appears. If you can’t move the pot to another place, it should be shaded. And if there is not enough light, they additionally install artificial lighting. With a lack of soil substrate, it is recommended to transplant a flower, pour additional soil into the pot. If the cause was the activity of pests (aphids, mealybugs), it is recommended to use insecticidal agents to eliminate them.

Drying of hardwood

The reasons for this problem are increased dryness of the air or the presence of a draft in the room. To increase the humidity in the room, it is recommended to spray the flower two to three times throughout the day in summer period and two to three times a week in winter.

When irrigating, you need to be careful so that the liquid does not get on the buds. You can install a container with a flower on a pallet containing wet expanded clay.

Darkening of the green mass
