What is the reason?

Rarely enough, such a handsome man as anthurium is exposed to diseases. Leaves turn yellow, dry or turn black - this means that there are problems with the growing conditions of the plant. Sometimes it can be attacked by scale insects, aphids and ticks. Among the diseases it is affected by anthracnose, root and stem rot.

Anthurium: leaves turn yellow in winter time

If you notice that in winter the leaves of the plant began to change in color, then you should identify the reasons. First, it comes from a lack of lighting. Therefore, the flower needs to be moved closer to the light. Secondly, due to a decrease in temperature to + 10 ºC, its growth slows down and the lower leaves turn yellow. They may have Negative influence and a surplus of fertilizers. This means that you need to take a break in feeding, or even better - change the soil.

Anthurium: leaves turn yellow due to moisture

If you notice massive yellowing of the leaves on the plant, then there are problems with the roots. This can happen due to excessive moisture in the earthy coma. There is only one way out - the flower is taken out of the pot and its roots are examined. All rotten parts must be trimmed to healthy tissue. And plant anthurium in fresh soil.

Anthurium: leaves dry

This can happen due to the fact that the plant was not planted on time or it was struck by aphids. Although the withering away of several lower leaves- for anthurium, it is quite a natural phenomenon. Too high temperatures (over 30 ºC) can have a negative effect: this makes the flowers paler in color and withers very quickly.

Anthurium: leaves turn black

In the event of a random appearance of blackness on the leaves, the flower should be transferred to a warmer room. Everything is simple here - the plant is cold. When blackness begins to appear from the tips of the leaves, it means that there are too many calcium salts in the soil. Anthurium needs to be transplanted into a new land.

Anthurium: leaves curl and spots appear on them

If dark spots appear, it is possible that the flower is affected by a scutellum, in addition, they may indicate a too low temperature. If a uniform, large and yellow spot appears, then the flower does not have enough fertilizer. The appearance of small brown spots with dark edges indicates anthracnose. Leaves curl due to draft, poor lighting, direct rays of the sun and dry air. It can also be caused by aphids.

How to deal with pests and anthracnose

To get rid of aphids, you need to use a mixture of soap, water, and nicotine sulfate. Take 1 liter of soapy water, add one gram of nicotine sulfate. After a day, the ground should be covered with a plastic bag, and the flower itself should be rinsed well under a warm shower. Soapy water also helps with scabbard control. You can also use infusion of tobacco, garlic, onion. Or combine them with soapy water. The spider mite is killed by the Actellic solution: 2 ml of this preparation is taken in a liter can of water, and the plant is sprayed with it. Anthracnose occurs due to too much moisture in the ground, and getting rid of it is troublesome: first, all diseased leaves are removed, then every 10 days the flower must be sprayed with copper sulfate or cuproxate.

Anthurium: soil selection and feeding

For this plant a mixture of whole leaf earth, sand, humus and peat (1: 0.5: 2: 1) is best suited. To it should be added charcoal, dry mullein or broken brick. Moreover, the additive should be 10% of the total. Drainage is poured at the bottom of the pot (a third of the container), it can be small pebbles or expanded clay. The flower is fed once every 30 days, this is done after moistening the soil. Mineral fertilizers alternating with organic. You just need to know that young plant does not need feeding. The first time it can be fertilized six months after planting. Create optimal conditions, and you will be constantly delighted with such a beautiful plant as anthurium. Leaves turn yellow, turn black and dry mainly due to improper care. Be attentive!

Many growers consider anthurium to be a capricious plant, for its successful growth and development, as well as for lush bloom, you will have to create a piece of the South American tropics in your apartment. If the conditions of detention are not observed, anthurium can get sick or be attacked by pests.

Optimal conditions for growing anthurium

What conditions is anthurium accustomed to in nature, and what should a grower strive for when growing "male happiness"?

First of all - high humidity, up to 70-80%. Provide it in an apartment, especially in winter when central heating, quite difficult: either by regular spraying 2-3 times a day, or by placing a flower pot on a wide pallet with wet expanded clay, which does not always look aesthetically pleasing. In addition, when spraying from a spray bottle, white spots may remain on the bracts, so flowers should be covered from water drops, which is also very inconvenient. A little costly financially, but it is much more efficient to put a humidifier next to it. But in this case, once a week, wipe the leaves from the accumulated dust with a damp sponge.

It is impossible to increase the humidity of the air by excessive watering of the anthurium.

The next step towards a healthy anthurium is a constant temperature that does not drop below 18 degrees in summer and 16 degrees in winter. It is optimal from May to September to keep anthurium at a temperature of 25-28 degrees. Drafts and even warm breezes are absolutely contraindicated. The roots of the plant can rot, and the leaves and flowers freeze.

Spraying the plant in winter and opening the window for ventilation is almost a 100% way to kill anthurium.

Bright light and the length of the day is very necessary for the establishment of flower buds and powerful further flowering. But at the same time, the plant should not be placed in direct sunlight, because in tropical forests it is protected from the sun by tree leaves.

Place the anthurium in a well-lit place without direct sunlight, and in winter, do additional lighting for 4-5 hours a day.

The last condition is watering and soil... Anthurium loves loose moist soils, this epiphytic plant, almost like an orchid, can grow on tree branches, and in order not to be mistaken, choose soil mixtures specially selected for anthurium.

Watering should be done with soft, settled water as the soil dries out, but if you maintain high air humidity, then watering will have to be done infrequently.

The best water for irrigation and spraying is rain or melt water.

If the conditions of detention are violated on the anthurium, pests may appear or the flower may get sick.

Diagnosis of diseases of "male happiness"

All the problems of growing anthurium can be divided into leaf diseases, peduncle diseases, root diseases, the general unsatisfactory state of anthurium, which are caused by the presence of pests, infectious diseases or simply mistakes in care.

Correctly diagnosing and starting timely treatment is difficult task for the grower, since the symptoms of various diseases are often similar to the consequences of improper care.

It is important to know that the anthurium contained in a dry room most often suffers from a spider mite, the leaves lose their elasticity from a lack of moisture, turn yellow and curl, but these plants are very rarely affected by fungal and bacterial diseases.

In wet conditions without airing, plants often suffer from soil overflow, and as a result, they suffer from infectious diseases.

After assessing the condition of your premises and the care you are taking, you can more or less accurately decide how to help the anthurium.

Table - diagnosis of plant diseases and pests

Infectious diseases of anthurium in the photo

Anthracnose appears as yellow spots with a black dot in the middle. Septoria blight affects the leaves of the plant and can lead to the death of anthurium. Root rot can often be found in purchased specimens with constant overflow. This is how powdery mildew looks like on Kalanchoe. Anthurium is affected by this disease rarely Fusarium affects both the leaves and roots of the plant Anthracnose on a rose: characteristic spots with a brown edging Anthracnose on anthurium - brown spots with a black accumulation of fungal spores in the center Root rot can destroy all roots of anthurium Anthurium leaves affected by a fungal disease Fungal disease the top leaf moved to the leaf under it Black roots affected by root rot. White - healthy roots are present, so there is a chance to save the plant Anthurium leaf covered with rust Anthurium leaf affected by septoria Septoria is very similar to anthracnose, it is difficult to determine without laboratory analysis Fusarium in an aster killed the plant in bloom Fusarium wilting of violets

Flower diseases, treatment and prevention

Most often, anthurium diseases appear due to improper care, among which the greatest place is occupied by overflow and hypothermia, and as a result, decay of the root system.

Infectious diseases pose a great danger to the plant: anthracnose, fusarium, septoria, as a result of which the plant often dies even after treatment.

It is easier to deal with rust on leaves and various root rot. And almost all plants heal and improve appearance if the cause of the disease was improper care.

Treatment of infectious diseases

Many infectious diseases lead to the death of the plant, but you still need to try to save the plant.

First of all, we isolate the damaged plant from the rest, examine it and make a preliminary diagnosis.

Always wear personal protective equipment when handling fungicides and do not eat or drink.

Fusarium wilting is an infectious disease in which the mycelium of the fungus penetrates into the living tissue of the plant and clogs up vital vessels. Root rot appears, passing into the trunk. Leaves that do not receive nutrition quickly wither and the plant dies. The best remedy struggle - prevention. When planting, several grains of Trichodermin are introduced into the soil mixture, maintaining a high vitality of the plant. You can try to save a sick anthurium by cutting off a living upper part and rooting it, having previously kept it in the Fundazole solution for 30 minutes.

Root rot is most often manifested when the plant is constantly overflowing. Treatment - pruning of rotten parts of the roots and treatment with Fitosporin-M or Maxim, transplantation into new substrate and preferably a new pot.

Rust - fungal disease, which manifests itself on all parts of the anthurium, but most often on the leaves. For prophylaxis, at low temperatures and high air humidity, treatment with Fitosporin can be carried out, and in case of an already emerging disease, with Topaz, Ordan.

Powdery mildew appears when the temperature drops sharply at high humidity... Preventive measures - do not spray anthurium in cool weather (winter maintenance). Powdery mildew treatment - put the pot in a warm, dry place, spray with Topaz or Acrobat preparations.

Anthracnose appears due to high humidity, which is exactly what anthurium loves. The causative agents of the disease - fungi of the genus Colletotrichum and Kabatiella - may not manifest themselves for a long time, and when favorable conditions for them begin to infect the plant. Usually, the first symptoms appear on the leaves in the form of spots, which become more and more. The affected leaf shrinks, becomes thinner and looks like tissue paper. Further, anthracnose affects the stems and almost the entire plant dries up on the root. Anthracnose treatment should be started as early as possible. The first step is to remove all damaged leaves and destroy them. The soil is changed to a new one, and the roots of the anthurium are disinfected. The plant is quarantined with a decrease in air humidity and a reduction in watering. It is categorically impossible to spray, since the spores of the fungus are carried by droplets of water. If the plant is very sick, then fungicides are used: Baktofit, Fitosporin, Fundazol, Ridamin Gold, Silk. The plant is sprayed 2-3 times in 10-14 days.

Anthurium pests

Often small midges (wine flies) become uninvited guests of indoor flowers, although they are unpleasant, but practically harmless, the appearance of the following insects, sucking juice from anthurium, is much more terrible.

Usually introduced "from the outside" with other plants and very quickly spreads to indoor flowers. For treatment, wash the affected areas with soap and water, after covering the soil with a bag, treat with infusion onions(15 grams of finely chopped onions or 6 grams of dry scales are infused in 1 liter of water for 5-7 hours), Fitoverm, and in advanced cases - Aktellik, Karbofos, Fitoverm, Iskra, Biotlin.

Thrips... Thin midges up to 2 mm long. Suck the juices from the leaf. Appear in humid room at high temperature... Treat with Fitoverm, diluting according to the instructions on the package. Processing is carried out several times every 5-7 days.

Shields... They cover not only the leaves, but also the stems of the plant, suck out the juices, and are easily removed with a needle. Since the insects are covered with thick scales, it is necessary to manually collect the scabbards, and then treat the anthurium with a solution of crushed garlic (mix 1 part of garlic with 1 part of soap and 3 parts of water, insist for a day), if it does not help, wipe the stems with a cotton pad dipped in kerosene.

Spider mite... Spawns in a dry and hot place. It entangles young shoots with a cobweb, sucks the juices from the leaves, leads to the death of most of the leaves. It is better to immediately apply Fitoverm, and not only on the affected plant, but also to treat neighboring plants for prophylaxis.

Mealybug... White fluffy insect 4–5 mm long. With mass reproduction, it leads to the death of the plant. Small colonies of the pest are removed by wiping the affected parts of the plant with soapy water and then every 7-10 days by repeated procedures, as well as by spraying with garlic infusion. Severely damaged plants are sprayed with Fitoverm.

Pests in the photo

Scabbards suck juices from leaves and stems Aphids can cause great damage to young leaves of anthurium Spider mite drinks juices from leaves, drying up their colonies of mealybugs on the stem of anthurium can destroy the plant Thrips appear in a damp room and at high temperatures Scabbard on anthurium looks like brown bumps easily removed with a needle Spider mite leaves such marks on the leaves of anthurium It is difficult to notice thrips, but the affected areas and excrement are very clearly visible

Prevention of the appearance of any insects is regular care for plants, dusting the leaves, quarantine for new plants for two weeks.

We reanimate anthurium after mistakes in care

Many growers misunderstand the advice of maintaining high humidity for anthurium and begin to flood the plant. As a result of such care, root decay, which manifests itself in various spots on the leaves.

Too caring owner poured anthurium and these spots turned out Bubbles on leaves and peduncles - a sign of frequent overflow of anthurium Spots on anthurium can appear for several days, even after transplanting into dry soil The appearance of various brown dry spots on anthurium is a sign of overflow, cold content and damage to the roots back side frozen leaf With poor packaging in stores, flowers often freeze

Revitalization of a plant affected by rot

In cold and wet soil, the roots of anthurium often rot, the leaves begin to wither, dry out, and fall. If the plant is neglected to such an extent that not a single living leaf remains, then the chances of resuscitation are very small.

We save the anthurium that has lost its roots

Various rot and infections often begin with root rot. And sometimes there is nothing to save there, but if the leaves and trunk of the plant are alive and without signs of mass disease, then you can try to root the upper part of the anthurium with air roots.

We save the frozen flower

If the leaves of the anthurium are slightly frozen, then healthy plant will be able to recover. It is much worse if, shortly before this, the anthurium was watered and the roots were exposed to hypothermia. All damaged leaves should be cut off, the plant should be transferred to a warm room and sprayed with a solution of the HB-101 vitalizer. If in next days the plant will become worse, which means that the roots are damaged, and the plant should be immediately transplanted, cutting off all the rotten areas, and treat the cuts with cinnamon. Stimulant HB - 101 can be sprayed and watered to strengthen the immune system.

Video - disease prevention

An important prevention of anthurium diseases are regular inspections of the plant, which are carried out when wiping the leaves. Then you will definitely not miss the warning signs of the onset of the disease and will be able to heal the plant in time. And in order for it not to hurt, observe the conditions of detention.

The interior. If the morning went with pleasant sensations, then the day is transferred more pleasantly. The maintenance of the garden is very favourite hobby, which will give joy not only to your own family but also to everyone around you. Driving next to a well-groomed flower garden, one cannot but pay attention to some exotic bush. And immediately the thought arises, maybe it is necessary to plant a garden?

Possible difficulties in growing anthurium

Usually, the handsome Anthurium rarely gets sick and endures the threats of pest damage. However, plants sometimes suffer from attacks by ticks, aphids and scale insects. From diseases, stem and root rot caused by low temperatures and abundant watering, as well as anthracnose, can be observed. In addition to the listed diseases and pests, other problems associated with leaf health or flowering can be observed with the plant.

Anthurium: leaves turn yellow

Since anthurium is considered quite capricious, the process of yellowing of the leaves and their further abscission is not uncommon. There are two main reasons for this phenomenon:

1. Violations in the rules of care.

• Improper watering (infrequent or one that uses hard water or too cold water).
• Lack of nitrogen fertilizers in the soil.
• Lack of sunlight.
• Sun too bright after spraying.

2. Diseases.

Chlorosis. This disease is not infectious. It occurs due to a lack of iron or magnesium. It is manifested by yellowing of the leaves, the veins on which remain green. To overcome this problem, simply use iron chelates or algae extracts.

Gray rot. On some parts of the anthurium, a gray coating (sporangia) begins to form, leading to decay. The development of gray rot is facilitated by excess humidity in the room and constantly wet leaves.

Rust. The upper side of the leaves is covered with light spots, and spots-pustules with spore powder appear on the lower side.

Fusarium. The leaves turn yellow quickly and then wither and fall off. The disease is of fungal origin and is often transmitted not only from plant to plant, but also through the soil.

Septoria and anthracnose. Yellowish spots appear on the leaves.

If the leaves of your flower turn yellow and the most likely cause is a fungal infection, then it is worth taking rescue measures as soon as possible:

• Remove affected plant parts.
• Treat the plant (spray) with fungicides.

As a rule, a one-time action is not enough, it is best to repeat that action in 1-2 weeks.

For bacterial infections caused by hypothermia, waterlogging and excess fertilization, it is sometimes sufficient to change the location of the flower and stop daily watering.

Anthurium: home care

If you want to see your plant healthy and beautiful over the years, then you need to provide it with proper care, paying attention to the following parameters:

Temperature.

This flower should be kept in a warm room when optimal temperature 18-20 above zero Celsius. In winter - not lower than 15 degrees. However, it must be remembered that the flower must be isolated from the heating system.

Lighting.

It is believed that anthurium quickly adapts to the conditions of the room in which it is located. However, its owner needs to take care of a large number light - only then will the flowers of the plant acquire saturated bright shades... But do not forget that direct sunlight can be detrimental to anthurium, especially after spraying the leaves.

When the anthurium is actively growing, it should be watered moderately and regularly. Water must be at room temperature.

Fertilizers.

By itself, this flower is not very picky about nutrients. It will be sufficient to feed him with fertilizers in the spring-summer period twice a month.

Air humidity.

This plant needs very humid air. Therefore, regular spraying with water (twice a day: morning and evening) is simply necessary for him. As a recommendation, you can also use the advice: the stems of the plant can also be moistened by wrapping them in sphagnum moss.

Transfer.

Transplant these plants into a substrate suitable for orchids and bromeliads. Or, you can prepare such a composition yourself.

• coniferous earth (one portion),
• leafy earth (one portion),
• peat soil (one portion),
• sand (half portion).

When replanting a plant, it is necessary to use flat wide pots, not forgetting about good drainage. Several pieces can be added to the soil charcoal... Immediately after transplanting, we subject the flower to frequent spraying and extremely careful watering. We protect it from exposure to direct sunlight.

Reproduction.

These amazing plants ideally it is necessary to multiply apical cuttings with few aerial roots. However, this is only suitable for long-stemmed species. Short-stemmed ones reproduce either by seeds or by dividing side shoots.

So, in general, caring for this beautiful plant should not cause problems for its owner. Be attentive and patient - and then the anthurium flower will delight you with its healthy appearance and amazing beauty with flowering.

Anthurium leaves turn yellow. It seems like I'm doing everything right - not in the sun, watering acid. water, fertilize once every 2 weeks.

Julia Vdovichenko Artificial Intelligence (188085) 5 years ago

I would take the plant out of the ground and examine the roots. When the leaves of aroids turn yellow en masse, this is a sign of a big problem with the roots. You see, if the roots are already rotting, changing the irrigation regime or conditions will not help! the process is going on anyway, and it is necessary to take effective measures.

I had this with aglaonema, an extreme case, I had to urgently save. When I took my plant out of the ground with 2 or 3 yellow leaves, it turned out that all the roots and even the bottom of the stem are already rotten! In such a situation, there was only one way out - to cut the affected part to healthy tissue and even a little higher (with a margin). and root the resulting stalk. Aroids root well in water, so I eventually saved the aglaonema. Now I water more carefully.

Look at the roots of your anthurium, carefully release them from the ground, cut off the darkened ones, leave only healthy light ones. Make a pot of potassium permanganate or foundation for the bottom of the plant. Let dry slightly and plant in fresh soil. If there was root rot, the old soil should be thrown away, and the pot (if ceramic) should be boiled in a saucepan with water.

Put the plant on a good diffused light... By the way, anthurium, although it is considered quite shade-tolerant, feels much better and blooms if it gets a little sun, but not very intense. It is better for him to spend the winter in the southern sunny window(like my anthurium). and spend spring and summer in a less hot, eastern one. I take mine out for the summer on a balcony shaded with a tree, there are some sunspots there. It blooms every summer.

Anthurium - leaves turn yellow

Beautiful indoor plant anthurium belongs to the rather whimsical. It demands to itself constant attention... Often, having bought an anthurium in a specialized store, the owners are faced with various problems that require a solution, because the plant may die. Beginners who do not have complete information about the rules of care. observe that the leaves of anthurium turn yellow and dry, brown spots appear on them, or even the flowering disappears altogether.

Before taking action, you need to find out why the leaves of the anthurium or their tips turn yellow and dry. After all, ignoring the problem can lead to leaf fall and plant death. There are only two main reasons why anthurium leaves turn yellow. First, a violation or complete lack of proper care. If the leaves of anthurium turn yellow, then the first thing to do is to correct the watering. Perhaps the flower does not have enough moisture, or the water may be too hard or cold. In addition, the plant may lack sunshine.

You can observe a healthy and beautiful plant if you provide it with adequate care. Room temperature, the distance of the pot from heating appliances and direct sunlight, good lighting throughout the year, moderate and regular watering warm water, periodic feeding with nitrogen fertilizers (twice a month is enough), humid air, spraying twice a day - compliance with these rules guarantees your pet a long life.

Providing the handsome anthurium with optimal conditions for growth, you will be able to enjoy the beauty of its bright green leaves for many years!

Anthurium (anturium) from the Aroid family came to us from the humid tropics of Central and South America... Highly ornamental plant with beautiful shiny leaves and a flower in the form of a red blanket (most often) surrounding a yellow ear. How tropical plant loves sun, warmth, good nutrition and high humidity. Anthurium is quite capricious. Any violation of agronomic rules, and your pet can get sick.

Consider what diseases are especially dangerous for anthurium. Anthurium Home care.

Anthurium, leaves turn yellow - is it leaf fall?

It is not uncommon for the leaves to turn yellow on the anthurium plant. We have already found out that anthurium is a tropical culture. Consequently, it is not subject to such seasonal phenomena as leaf fall. The reason for the yellowing of the leaves is a violation of the rules of care or illness. Let's take a closer look at these issues.

Anthurium, leaves turn yellow or diseases of a non-infectious nature

Yellowing of leaves

These diseases are caused by improper watering - infrequent or using hard water, or applying insufficient amount of nitrogen fertilizers, or lack of light. It is enough, sometimes just to rearrange the pot from one place to another and the plant just comes to life. Have your flower with nice name anthurium, leaves turn yellow and fall off. Taking better care of the plant will help it regain its former appearance.

Another non-infectious disease is chlorosis.

With this disease, the leaves of a still beautiful-looking anthurium plant turn yellow, while the veins remain green. The reason is a lack of iron or magnesium. It is enough to use iron chelates or algae extract and the disease recedes. Even such a light-loving plant as anthurium, diseases caused by direct exposure to sunlight are not alien.

Anthurium can also receive sunburn if left in full sun after spraying. Whitish brown spots form on the leaves. Can anthurium freeze? It turns out, maybe, if you really try. If you water the flower with cold water or the temperature on the window drops sharply, due to the general cold snap, light spots may appear on the leaves. For a while, it is better to rearrange the flower pot to another place.

Anthurium, diseases caused by fungi

These diseases are of an infectious nature and simple prevention is indispensable. We need heavy artillery in the form of chemicals. Often, anthurium is affected by gray rot, septoria, anthracnose, false powdery mildew, rust, fusarium and root rot.

Anthurium, diseases - gray rot

The development of the disease is facilitated by high humidity in general and the presence of constant moisture on the leaves in particular. Separate parts of the plant begin to rot, which are covered gray bloom from sporangia.

Anthurium - septoria and anthracnose

The cause of these diseases can be contact with a diseased plant or the purchase of an already diseased flower in a store. Symptoms of mottling are the appearance of yellowish or brownish spots on the leaves, which subsequently fall off.

Anthurium, diseases - downy mildew

At first, the symptoms of the lesion are similar to chlorosis. Your flower with the wonderful name Anthurium has yellow leaves. If the infection is diffuse, the leaves not only turn yellow, but also become smaller, internodes become shorter and more crowded. If the infection is local, chlorotic spots appear on the leaves and a pale gray bloom with sporangia forms on the underside of the leaf.

Anthurium - rust

Light spots form on the upper side of the leaves, and brownish pustule spots on the underside, on which spore powder develops. With a strong infection, the leaves dry out completely.

Anthurium, diseases - fusarium

The infected plant looks depressed, the leaves of the anthurium flower turn yellow, they wither and fall off. Often the damaged plant will bend in one direction. The base of the stem darkens, the tissue in this place gradually dies off. Under favorable conditions for the fungus, the affected area is covered with a bloom of light spores. Spores are transferred not only by contact between healthy and diseased plants, but also directly through the soil. This makes the fight against the disease especially difficult.

Anthurium - root rot

At high humidity, the roots of the plant rot due to fungal attack. The roots turn red or Brown color... Damaged roots cannot digest nutrients and water. The plant dies.

What to do if anthurium is infected with a fungus

You can, of course, try folk remedies or herbal remedies, which are safer. But if you want quick effect and act for sure, without the help of fungicides, you can not do. If the leaves of the anthurium plant turn yellow and the reason is fungal, you cannot wait and hope for a miracle. First you need to remove the affected parts of the plants, then treat the plants with drugs according to the instructions. The most difficult thing is to fight fusarium, because simple spraying is not enough here.

We combine spraying with a fungicide and applying a soil pesticide. For prophylaxis, glyocladin can be added to the soil. For fungal diseases, flower growers often use drugs such as foundazol, enlat, topsin, tsineb, copper oxychloride, rovral, vitaros, topaz, ordan and others. Spraying is best done not in a residential area, but on outdoors... Before spraying, the pot can be placed in a plastic bag and tied for ten minutes after spraying. This will increase the processing efficiency.

As a rule, one-time processing is not enough. If after two weeks you still observe that the leaves of your favorite flower, called anthurium, turn yellow, the fungicide treatment must be repeated.

Anthurium, diseases of bacterial origin

Representatives of the genera Erwinia and Xanthosoma are most often the reason for the development of bacterial diseases. In this case, as a rule, a clear picture is not observed. The cause of root rot on anthurium can be not only fungal, but also bacterial infection. Oily spots appear on the leaves, which gradually turn brown. The affected roots soften, and a putrefactive mass with an unpleasant odor forms at the site of the lesion.

The cause of bacterial diseases is improper care - waterlogging, excess fertilization, keeping in cool conditions.

Anthurium, diseases of a viral nature

Viral diseases are usually spread by insects. On the anthurium, the curl of the anthurium is observed. Leaves curl and sometimes become dry. On the leaf blades, you can see yellowish-gray and gray-white lines and spots.

If the leaves turn yellow on your anthurium plant, and it withers before your eyes, do not despair. Knowledge of diseases and the characteristics of their course will allow you to identify the cause of the disease and cope with it.

People who are seriously fond of growing flowers at home are not content with the presence in their collections of varieties traditional for our region. Inquisitive naturalists try to diversify their flower garden with unusual exotic specimens. Tropical epiphytes have gained particular popularity in recent years. Among them is the noble handsome anthurium. In nature, it grows in moist forests. At home, this flower acquires special decorative properties. But at the same time it requires very much close attention... What difficulties await flower growers who have fallen in love with this flower, and how does anthurium tolerate disease and damage? In what cases does it die? How can you successfully treat it?

The first group of diseases is the most common. At home, it is not always possible to avoid mistakes in care. Often the plant withers, dries up, or even dies. You need to know exactly what to do and start treatment on time:

• The appearance of small, gradually increasing dark spots on the leaves indicates an excessively low temperature, the flower simply froze.
• Light formations on the foliage indicate sunburn.
• If the leaf turns yellow at the edges and dries, the anthurium gets too hard water.
• Pale leaves indicate insufficient illumination or lack of nutrition.
• If the neck of the anthurium darkens, it means that the roots of the flower have rotted due to excessive watering.
• A dry trunk and roots indicate an excess content of calcium salts in the soil.
• Sometimes they appear on its inflorescence or bedspread. Why is this happening? When carelessly spraying a flower, water gets on the peduncles.

What to do in all these cases? There is nothing difficult here, you can reanimate the flower by removing damaged areas. And then just adjust the care of the plant to save it. In each specific case, you need to observe the plant, understand why it dies, check the roots, study its "personal predilections". If it is frozen, move it to a warm place, if it withers or dries and does not grow, replace the soil, if burns appear, shade it. Anthurium, which received competent help, continues to grow without complications.

Infections and pests

Fungal infections

Like any living organisms, flowers are subject to infectious diseases. Anthurium is no exception. Treatment for a fungal infection requires serious. Most often, fungal infections at home are brought in through contaminated soil or from nearby ailing flowers. To treat these diseases, you need to know their main signs:

• Fusarium. It is accompanied by wilting of leaves. The base of the flower darkens and dies off, the trunk grows crookedly, in one direction. As a result, a cluster of light spores forms on the affected area. The plant dies.
• Root rot. Roots are exposed to whole armies of fungi. First, they turn red, then blackening and dying off of the roots occurs. At the same time, drying and death of the leaves is observed, the peduncle withers. This is the most dangerous of the noncommunicable diseases. With delayed treatment, the roots of anthurium disappear.
• Powdery mildew. The leaves turn yellow, shrink and curl. The plant takes on a gaunt look. A light spore bloom appears on the lower surface of the leaves.
• Anthracnose and septoria. First, brown or yellowish spots appear on the leaf blades, then they increase. The next stage is leaf fall.
• Gray rot. The fungus progresses with prolonged exposure to excess moisture. A characteristic feature this disease is a gray putrid plaque on separate parts anthurium.
• Rust. Above, the leaf is covered with light spots, below it is red-brown. Later, a powdery coating appears on these spots. These are fungal spores. With prolonged exposure to rust, the leaves completely die off.

It is already more difficult to save anthurium flowers prone to infectious diseases. At home, flower resuscitation includes the following steps - isolation from other specimens, treatment of the plant with fungicides by spraying, and introduction of pesticides into the soil. Then the roots are washed, the flower is transplanted into healthy soil.

Pest attacks
