Planting the plant:
An apprentice for Cultivation Anthurium seedlings of suitable quality for cultivation should be procured from a place where the seedlings are sold. It is advisable to immerse 5 seedlings in pots. Pots with a diameter of 30 cm should be selected for planting.

Planting in seedling beds:
If anthuriums are planted in beds, they can be planted in two ways.
- Construction of drains and cultivation
- Preparation of beds and cultivation
Whichever of the two methods is used, the artificial method should provide shade. If drains are constructed and cultivated, drains should be prepared at a depth of 25-30 cm on a flat ground and a layer of bricks should be applied at its base Then a chemical should be applied to control the mites. Planting can be done after 5 days by applying the fertilizer mixture on the bricks. If the beds are to be cultivated in a systematic manner, the soil should be loosened to a depth of about 25 cm and the beds should be prepared and fertilized with insecticides. After that it is advisable to plant the seedlings at a spacing of two feet between the seedlings. Fertilizer application, watering and weed control should be done systematically.

While these components are essential, there are also nutrients that need to be applied secondary. Thus calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc, molybdenum, boron, etc. can be used to get a rich flower harvest. Although all these can be applied properly, the fertilizer should be applied according to the growth stages of the plant.
Growth stages of anthurium cultivation:
- Small stage up to 8-10 months
- Intermediate stage 8-10 months to 1,1 / 2 years
- Flowering period from 1,1/2 years upwards
Nitrogen fertilizers should be applied sparingly at a young age and phosphorus should be applied more at a moderate stage. It is best to apply plenty of potassium during flowering. Fertilizer application occurs in two stages, liquid and granular. You can use any of these methods.
