Cultivation tips

A good cultivation is necessary to produce high quality flowers and plants. Together with Bureau IMAC Anthura keeps on innovating. To further support the Anthurium and Phalaenopsis cultivation you will find here various cultivation tips.

Infrared meter
In addition to the already available pH-EC meter and luxmeter, you can also order an infrared pocket-sized thermometer from Anthura. With this infrared meter you will easily measure the temperature of for example the leaf.  

High temperature in greenhouse and high light intensity
Direct sunlight raises the plant temperature quickly. So you should protect and moisten the plants quickly as soon as greenhouse temperatures and light intensity rise. This will prevent the plants from closing their stomata and, consequently, stopping photosynthesis.  

Chalking
By chalking the greenhouse, the temperature in the greenhouse will increase less, as a result of which day temperatures will be more stable and the humidity level can be controlled more easily.

EC and pH measures
It is important to measure the EC and pH values to prevent incorrect technical cultivation interventions.

How can we prevent turgidity or swollen cells?
Cells can be crushed by high root pressure. Root pressure can be easily decreased by watering the plants early during the day, maintaining the EC level and not allowing relative humidity to rise during the night.
