Abstract The effect of shade, growth medium, and their interaction on anthurium cut flower output was investigated using a Factorial totally randomised block design with 3 replications. Three levels of shade (85%, 75%, and 65%) and four combinations of growing media (coco peat + coconut husk, coco peat + brick pieces, coconut husk + brick pieces, red earth + sand (control), and red earth + sand at a ratio of 1:1) were used as main factors in this experiment, with a total of twelve interaction treatments. The per se and interaction impacts of shade and growing medium on the development, physiology, flowering, yield, quality characteristics, and nutrient content of anthurium plants were substantially impacted by the treatments.
