I just got my first anthurium, a crystallinum and pausing and taking notes on my phone here and there, thank you so much! Your vid was sent to me by the seller of the seedling :)
As per pests, I have a memory of bagging a plant with a pest strip for some period of time as they, give off a "clean, odorless vapor is evenly distributed throughout the enclosed treatment area". (you could use it for a temp green house :-) Subject change; I have an Anthurium hookeri I grew from berries, 20 yrs.+ old, out in the yard that I got at a Brom. Soc. party. I had forgotten it was an Anth. I hose off when I remember. It's root mass is 15" above the 8" pot it grew up in. Many healthy leaves and inflorescence growing in shade and direct sun. (five miles from the ocean in the Santa Monica area of Socal) I grow many exotics from Africa, Asia, S. Am. Carnivorous. etc. outdoors so after killing one of those red flower common types, I thought I'd study the subject and bought, a, veitchii (wide) starter. Thanks for all of the info (watched the whole vid)
Don’t usually comment on videos but just letting you know this content is priceless and full of valuable experiences. I’ll be re watching this several times to digest this all
The information in this video is priceless 👌 Would love to see a video where you try to troubleshoot peoples plants, that’s another way to learn mot about this species of plants. 🌱💚
Probably the best educational video on anthuriums on RU-vid. Thank you so much for all your time and energy you spent filming this. I will refer to this video so many times. I learnt so much the first time I watched it and repeated different sections so many times. Thankyou Alice, you are a good soul. Xx
watched your channel for a while and I just wanted to let you know, that, besides being informative, your tone is very welcoming. You never come off as the "I am the expert". It's more of a "this is what works for me". I just so happened to be questioning my own anthurium care, especially watering and humidity. This came up in my feed today and I'm thankful.
If anyone is reading this, check out the anthurium video by grow proteas. Their anthuriums are MASSIVE (think 4’+ leaves) and they reveal a common plant tip that actually stunts anthurium leaves from sizing up. She mentions it for a second in this video but I don’t think anyone grasps how crucial it is.
@@shoop111 to upsize their pot before becoming root bound. They need and want extra room in their pot to size up their leaves. They also upsized more than the normal inch at a time people do with houseplants.
Thank you for sharing your experience and insight. For a newby to growing anthuriums it’s so much easier to get a grasp on the fundamentals watching something like this then trying to decipher which care guide on a google search is more reliable than the others. Your have some beautiful plants :)
I’ve been coming back to this video. Few times. Thank you Alice. When do you start potting anthurium in much bigger pots? I have a few young seedlings in their own pot with 3 small leaves for example and other with more that I have had for almost a year. Not sure at what stage a much bigger pot would be ok to try. Would love your thoughts.
40:59 Omg, I'm a beginners with anthuriums, and I just wanted something to help me started, I wish someone could give me a fool proof mixture for this plant, but I got so confused with all the names and things your tried, I just got totally lost :'( Why everything is so complicated
@youdontevengrowhere hi Alice you said 100goot. Candles is good light for an anthurium. Did you misspeak or do you really see growth at that low light? I’m trying to figure out if my light leaves are from high light or something else. I’m using barring bars and solace highlight rails Thanks Would love a list of anthuriums that like high light to get darker Great videos !
Thank you for giving us such a comprehensive guide on growing anthuriums! Really appreciate you breaking this down, especially when it comes to nutrients (because I get so lost sometimes with do’s/dont’s).
Sizing up to bigger pots was a great tip for me. I was told that sizing up the pot too much would stunt the plant's growth. I guess it depends on different species.
It's currently rainy season in my country and I have three anthuriums with active infloresences. after I pollinate them, should I wrap them in a bag or is it alright for them to get wet?
i’m in loveee with the anthurium content and my god this could not come at a better time!! thank you so much for your videos and your love towards the genus 🫶🫶
❤❤ Another video❤❤ I got introduced to anthuriums through you and Charmaine you guys taught me the bin method and when buying anthuriums buy seedlings 👍 👍 I also really started appreciate the beauty of hybrids and emergent leaves An example being my indo portx lux The way it has the shape of the indo port and the lux petiole and leaf texture 👍 👍 Thank you Alice ❤️for introducing me to anthuriums ❤
Once an anthurium is established with lots of roots i have no issues, but Im really struggling with seedlings…I’ve killed three seedlings from Kartel daun and it hurts my heart. I know you’ve said before to keep them swampy buuuuut, the roots keep rotting on me. So maybe the substrate isn’t working for me? I typically use pon and now some of my seedlings are in tree fern and pon and that seems to work well…so any advice would be helpful!!!
Also I wanted to ask, should I repot the plants I barely got right away? I got these from Ecuagenera and they all came in 4" pots. I appreciate the feedback as I really need to know your take on this. Thank you!
Anthuriums will love my house then my house dips and rises constantly in spring and fall. It’s pretty consistent in summer and winter though. I repotted mine in more Tree Fern fiber and panicked because it stayed wet for so many days I was afraid of root rot, so I reported and added Molly’s Aroid Mix, a little Tree Fern and mixed in my Bonsai Jack Grit mix. Hopefully that is a good medium!Thank you so much for this video!
Honestly, no drainage in glass vessels just seemed to make my plants grow slower. It's not one size fits all for sure. I bought a friedschthalii last August, put it in glass, and it still hasn't grown a leaf. I'm transitioning all of my glass vessel plants into drainage + glass vessel for a water table. My wendlingeri didn't grow a single leaf til I got it out of moss/glass vessel
What a full informative video I have seen. Appreciate it much! I just can't imagine you can talk in one shot for all the very important informations. THANKS
From my experience I found hot water is good in fighting spider mites. Just turn the tab to the hottest ( that shouldn’t be boiling but really hot) and I am pretty sure it will work.
I was the same with stratum. I had a bag for months unopened, until my ilselmanii decided to loose all the roots. Since I haven't seen any hope for it, decided to put it in stratum as it was the only media it didn't grow in, and... omg I was so surprised. Since then decided to put some chonks in it and they grew roots nicely too! I guess I'll start to use it more
I'm so happy i found you! I just started my adventure with anthurium and I was already messing up. Thank you so much for all these pointers and recs! ❤
Btw today i juat received my Anthoriums from Eddy Pranoto (Epp) from indonesia, they’re quite bigger than what i hv expected. My tree fern doesnt come on time so my plant mix has no fern to it, but hopefully it can be good also for the plant.
New here and subscribed :). Not just for this video but I’m looking at getting this genus this year. And in Leca or pon as that’s the medium i like most Also, high humidity can help, but I do know they do learn to tolerate low humidity ❤.
For some reasons YT keeps removing my comments, I'm not even saying anything that's breaking ToS, so odd. Anyway, I had made a huge plant purchase on anthuriums, I've added 12 new baby plants to my collection. Glad you made this video, as I've just been winging it on their care! Haha!
I'm so glad that you are on RU-vid and that you really go into the nitty-gritty of Anthurium care. I really want to learn more about how to be successful in growing these beautiful plants. Watching your videos gives me confidence. Thank you so much ❤️
One day, Zuck is going to catch on and then he'll enforce FB's T&C. Sellers (commercial or not) should be using FB Marketplace. Not groups. Which is why I'd be weary to build my plant business on FB groups. Also noteworthy, eBay has now in Europe (or at least Germany, that I know for sure) been ordered to report any sellers making more than 30 sales or 2,000 EUR in sales. Because people are usually bypassing taxes and pass thresholds for commerciality. Also, it isn't fair towards properly registered plant shop owners, who (again, in Europe) have to issue plant passports when they ship plants, even within Europe. Also, consumer protection, etc... There's my bit on buying/selling. But I agree, I get some of my best plants from "private" collectors. Loved this video! Thank you for putting it together.
It really is crazy just how much of a difference humidity makes with anthuriums, especially velvet leaf ones. I owned several when I started and within a week, they had gotten crisp and misshapen in my 65% humidity bedroom. Than I put them in some terrarium tanks, and within a week they had put out about 5 leaves each. Now they grow LIKE WEEDS. Seriously ppl, put your anthuriums in humidity containers!!!
great stuff - thank you! I would love a deeper dive into fertilizers, particularly combining or adding supplements. After hearing how you fertilize I'm concerned that I've been over-fertilizing by adding cal-mag to Foilage flow and Super Thrive vitamin...???😕
Thank you so much for this very informative video. I love when you talk about your different substrates and why you plant different types of plant in different ways. Would love you to do a session on Hoya 💮
Alice, I have my Splendisum in a plastic display box from Amazon. It maintains 92% to 99% humidity and she loves it. The secret with them is no air movement. The box only gets opened once a month or so for me to check in and water if needed. I also keep some terrarium begonias and a few other terrarium plants in there to make a nice display.
