Throughout Hawaii, raising anthurium blooms is a big industry. Anthuriums are grown on more than 200 professional facilities. A number of these facilities have been in operation since the 1950s, which had been the decade which cultivators first started cultivating anthuriums commercially. Continue reading and I will describe the anthurium farming methods that these facilities use to grow large amounts of anthurium blooms.
The initial step in cultivating these kinds of blossoms commercially is building a shade structure. The goal of the shade house is to supply shade to the flowers that will be cultivated in it. The reason why shade is important to growing anthuriums is that these types of plants would have a tendency to get burnt by the sun if they were to be grown in direct sunlight. To build a shade house, the parcel on which it's going to be built will have to be cleared and graded with a bulldozer. Right after the property is flattened off, galvanized pipes are arranged in place. These pipes are used as posts to hold up the cabling and shade material which are used to build the shade house.
Soon after the shade house is finished, volcanic cinder or other cultivation material is dispersed on the floor of the shade structure using tractors. The cinder typically comes from volcanic cinder cones and is brought to the facility in large dump trucks. Typically a covering of cinder approximately a couple of feet thick is placed on the ground of the shade house.
As soon as the cinder is in position, anthuriums are acquired. They might originate from top cuttings of more mature plants in other areas of the facility or they could be the result of vegetative reproduction. They're then planted inside the shade structure.
Typically, Hawaii's consistent rain showers provide sufficient moisture for the plants. But, if the rain fall is not sufficient the anthurium plants might be watered by means of sprinklers.
