Commercial Floriculture

Planting density

• Depending upon the varieties, Anthurium is also planted at a distance of ,
• 30 cm x 30 cm (accommodates 6 to 7 plants/m²) /30 cm x 60 cm/45 cm x 60 cm.
• The optimum spacing for commercial cultivation of Anthurium is 45 x 45cm, which accommodates 5 plants/m².
• A closer planting of 30cm apart is also recommended to accommodate 7 to 10 plants/m² (61,750 plants/ha).
• At higher plant densities though Anthuriums produce more, dense planting restricts air circulation and interferes with spray penetration. Hence, disease and pest management becomes difficult.
