How to have an Anthurium plant always beautiful, healthy and lush? Simple, treating it with aspirin. That is how.

Very often, no matter how much love is devoted to plants, it is difficult to get them as leafy as we would like. Specifically, we bought the  Anthurium, or Anthurium, wonderful but keeping it that way can be complicated.  But with the aspirin trick we can finally have leafy and healthy plants. Let’s see how to use it.

Anthurium, one of the most picturesque indoor plants

Anthurium is a plant of tropical origin accustomed to very humid and warm climates. Precisely for this reason it is a plant suitable for growing indoors rather than outdoors.
It is a vertically growing plant with  bright green leaves  and leaf-like flowers that vary from white to red with various shades.

Due to its origin, it prefers demineralized water, which can be used to moisten the plant and recreate the characteristic humidity of its areas of origin. In summer it requires a lot of water, the soil in the pot should never be dry. For this reason, expanded clay is usually used in the plate and mixed with the soil, to promote drainage and prevent  the roots from coming into contact with water  that could stagnate in the plate. As an alternative to demineralized water, rainwater is perfect for both watering and spraying.

It is also very important  to remember to remove dust  from the leaves so that the plant breathes as well as possible. However, despite the best precautions, it may happen that our Anthurium plant is not as healthy and lush as we would like.

So how to do it?  There are many fertilizers on the market, certainly effective, but if we want an effective home remedy we can rely on a simple aspirin, the same one we use for the flu. That is how.

The Use of Aspirin for a Healthy and Lush Anthurium

Aspirin is not only good for us humans, but also and especially for plants.  The  acetylsalicylic acid content of which aspirin is composed is a panacea for plants, since it stops the action that causes wilting. Treating plants and especially Anthurium with aspirin is very simple.

First of all, in the case of particularly poorly placed or discarded plants, it is possible to scatter the aspirin tablets  crumbled into large pieces  directly on the moistened soil. Instead, the remedy that should be used every day involves the use of water and aspirin and is actually very simple to do.

You will need  250 mg of aspirin  to grind it into a fine powder. Now take a container into which to pour 5 liters of water, possibly rainwater or demineralized water, and add the aspirin powder, stirring until completely absorbed. Once well mixed, let it rest overnight and, the next day, transfer everything to a  spray bottle.

Now you have your remedy to keep your plants and  Anthurium  in top shape at all times. Simply spray the mixture daily on both the leaves and soil to ensure healthy growth for all your plants.
