Full Anthurium Collection Tour | 50+ Plants from Common to ULTRA Rare 

You know how pedantic people can be haha. Glad I made you giggle ✨🪴❤️

You’re too kind! And I’m really glad at least someone thought that was funny. Every time I look at that plant it keeps me so humble

I definitely recommend a Chrystallinum. They get big so fast.

Thank you! The new leaves are really something

Thank you so much, Jane!

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much!

TYSM!

Thank you! I might have to do something like that soon.

❤️✨❤️✨

Very cool, and good to know

Thank you!

😘

I do too but unfortunately my computer really struggles. It crashed so many times. I wish I could have added music and a bit more editing too!

Me too! Hopefully I haven’t jinxed myself showing you guess those plants before they mature!

Thank you so much! The jar is a temporary solution until I have space to get it a cabinet 😊

Thank you so much!

I’m glad someone does!

You’re a real one

I think that’s probably a great idea! I think a prop box is an essential tool for dealing with anthurium. It really helps give them the boost that some of them just need.

That’s one of the better guesses I’ve heard but I still don’t know where the emergent color comes from. Fun mystery!

@@PlantFriendDownTheStreet silver blush seems to have bronze emergent leaves, look up photos of their leaves emerging. Hopefully you solve the mystery soon as it’s a beautiful plant :)

The emergents on this come in purple and then turn magenta. It’s almost like a doc block. Very weird!

It’s a cool one for sure

Thank you so much!

Also the Besseae green form 👀😳🙌 DANG!!

Thank you so much, those are both up there for me too!

The best philodendron 💯

TYSM! ✨🪴❤️

Thank you! I honestly don’t even know what they are, I have just about every cheap grow light from Amazon, lol. I’m definitely thinking about a basic anthurium care video but my pon video has a lot in it. My content calendar is really full so I’m trying to balance everything. Very good to know what folks are interested in though, so thank you!

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much!

I have 99 problems and they’re all expensive plants

Thank you so much for saying that!

I wish they weren’t being poached 😞

Interesting! I’ll have to look that up

This channel is going to become the dad joke splash zone I can feel it haha

@@PlantFriendDownTheStreet awesome. Looking forward to more of it. 🤣

I’m doing good, I just got a new job IRL and am way too busy to do both RU-vid and all of my work, haha. I’ll try to post some shorts or tiktoks every once in a while 🪴✨❤️

So glad to hear it, and congrats!@@PlantFriendDownTheStreet

Awwwww thanks! I do my best and so far most people have been really nice and respectful.

Thank you so much, that is so kind of you to say!

✨🪴❤️

She’s sliving haha

You’re right I need to stop being lazy and give it the cal mag again… I normally do adjust my anthurium PH but lately I’ve done a few Azamax applications and I don’t PH balance when I do that. I’ll have to start up again with giving it the good stuff. Thank you for the tip! I really want to get that plant turned around.

The Bess is the WoRsT!

✨🪴❤️

Thank you so much! So for the blue Papi it’s tough to say without more info but my hunch is that if it’s only 190 it’s either tissue cultured or not pure Pap. What that means is that it doesn’t really have any intrinsic value and unless it matures into something special, it won’t be worth anything for breeding or resale, which is fine if you just want the plant for what it is but may be annoying if you ever need to sell it. I’d honestly probably join some anthurium groups and maybe save up to get a plant your 100% in love with or some seeds to play with or seedlings or trades or something. 190 is not a lot for a Pap but it’s a lot for a plant in general. There are a lot of low quality complex hybrids floating around out there right now. I’d probably be very conservative with buying expensive anthurium right now without the proper paper trail of what the parents looked like and where they came from. Never pay a lot for an anthurium without mother plant or parent plant pics, and even then, the breeder should know the specific line all of the ancestors came from. Without all of this, you could get ripped off, but you could also be buying plants that came from plants that have been poached. Hope that’s helpful?

@Plant Friend Down The Street Thank you ever so much for taking the time to reply! It's a hybrid for sure, but they don't know the parentage except for one of them being a Papi. It's a cutting with four gorgeous leaves. There's a picture of the mother plant and she's stunning too! The mature leaves look extremely dark with a blue hue. I probably wouldn't ever sell it if it was mine. I guess the value would just be for its beauty, not its family line

Ok, that’s all helpful info! Especially considering that it’s a fairly large plant and not a seedling and they have the mother plant pics I think 190 is an understandable price. If you feel like if you pass that this will be the one that got away and the money isn’t an issue, then I’d say go for it. Might be good practice with Paps to build confidence in case your eventual goal is to get something a little fancier… but be warned, this will absolutely be a gateway to wanting something fancier! My FS x RL narrow form was like mid triple digits for that one tiny, yellowed leaf so can confirm that sexy Paps are terrible for your financial well being, haha! Feel free to tag me on Instagram, I’d love to see the plant if you get it!

I got it at an Ecuagenera pop up years ago. Maybe check their website?

That’s as good a guess as any!

Thank you! She had an absolute meltdown after I repotted her though unfortunately and I cut off most of the leaves. Nothing gold can stay 😭

For sure! Yeah I always tell people to contact Tropicals and ask if they have the green form in stock. Maybe I just got lucky with a particularly nice one?

Thank you! I’m good just been busy and trying to decide what I want to do with this channel

Probably Amazon, but I don’t remember

…. It’s blooming 🧐

@Plant Friend Down The Street hybridise! Splendidum hybrids are so sexy, better than lux x imho

Omg what would I even cross it with, haha

@@PlantFriendDownTheStreet isn't your mag x (maybe dorayaki) from this video blooming atm? I think they are compatible 😊

The splendidum inflo won’t be receptive in time and I didn’t collect the pollen from the other one. That’d be a wild combo. Maybe the Gigi would be cool?

Crystal hope is a specific lineage though. Without documentation that this plant is from the sale line, you can’t call it that. I honestly think it’s a better dupe for the FTG silver than the crystal hope but there’s no way to know for sure. It’s just a Indonesian complex hybrid that happens to be really nice. Hope you’re doing well!

It’s some kind of Doryaki hybrid most likely.

I would be comfortable calling it “Chrystal hope aff” maybe but as far as I can tell it’s not quite the same. I don’t think the crystal hope has the pink/purple emergent leaves. I really believe it’s just a complex hybrid from Indonesia that just happens to be really nice. There’s no way to prove out what it really is unfortunately.

@@PlantFriendDownTheStreet I just watched unplanned parenthood channel. She called this plant 'brielle'.

Interesting… she’s not talking about the Doc Block Brielle is she? Bc there’s no way in heck that’s what this is, lol

Oops how did that happen haha

Haha 😂 Do you think gigi x forgetii would look cool? I'm thinking about buying a seedling 🌱 it's up for quite a cheap price so I'm very tempted 💚

That’s really hard to say because those are both known for their sinuses but they’re total opposites! If it’s a good price then I’d probably go for it

@@PlantFriendDownTheStreet I know right! I'm thinking what could it possibly look like when mature 😂 could be anything the potential is endless 🤷🏽‍♀️

Yeah the characteristics of the different seedlings might be really diverse!

Don’t have one anymore. Was running out room and had to make some cuts.

Your face when you comment on your word „vestibules” 😂😂❤️

Same! Google said high altitude wet forests where there is almost constant humidity… so maybe like temperate rain forests in South America?

Thanks! Sorry to say I probably won’t be back unfortunately. I got a new job IRL and it’s just way too much to try and balance that with the channel. I cancelled my video software subscription and everything.

I’m so sorry, work is just so busy these days. I still post shorts occasionally and TikToks! Longform content is just so much work to create and I honestly really don’t like editing.

Idk I definitely see them in groups sometimes. I wonder if it’s because the name isn’t that snazzy?

I’m going to have to cut it open. Maybe buy one of those hot tool thingies… this is a problem for future me

@@PlantFriendDownTheStreet I look forward to the future you 🤬 sesh😂

I can guarantee that I won’t bother filming that hahahahaha

I got a new job and it’s way too much work with traveling and everything to keep creating content. Had a good run but probably not coming back any time soon unfortunately.

I’d be curious to know the source of the ID you’re comparing to because I see lots of people posting plants that don’t look correct under “Longissimilobum” but pretty confident mine is the correct ID. I’ve had it since before they started being mass produced and got it from Ivan Portilla personally. Also possible that the plant can have morphological changes as it matures or based on growing conditions. This one had much more narrow lobes before it started to mature. Also possible there could be multiple eco types with slight variations.

@@PlantFriendDownTheStreet Not sure what it is, too. I just thought it looked different 😄

Gotcha, makes sense!

Thank you so much!

So for perfect anthurium leaves I’ll tell you what Ivan from Ecuagenera told me and that it’s all in your water quality. I only water my anthurium with filtered water that’s been ph balanced because that’s all I can do, but if you can collect rainwater, use aquarium water, RO or distilled that’s even better. If the crisping starts at the very tip, that could be over fertilizing.

@@PlantFriendDownTheStreet ohhh. I water using aquarium water because that's all I have available and it still happens, so maybe I should dilute my fertilizer water more. Thank you!

Yeah, I’d probably start with that. Other thing is you could maybe look into Phyton 27. It’s a bacterial/fungal systemic in case the damage is from something like that. Only other thing I can think of would be underwatering… if you’re not sure whether it’s over or underwatering, maybe your substrate isn’t retaining water and you need to up pot? Idk what system you’re using but if they’re in semi hydro, you might be letting your reservoirs go to low or need to increase how often you flush… there are so many factors but I hope something clicks that’s helpful!

@@PlantFriendDownTheStreet this is super helpful, thank you! I'll be looking into Phyton 27 just in case I might need it. As for the substrate, I actually repotted the crystal mag the day before yesterday and the substrate it was in was too peat heavy, so that could've been a factor. Repotted it into a more airy substrate but in a container with no drainage with the expectation that it will provide moisture to the roots while the substrate itself doesn't remain too dense and water retentive. I know it's kinda unorthodox in the community but it's helped me monitor when to water plants compared to pots with drainage, we'll see how it fares with those conditions. I think the water quality is my biggest challenge though, I hope distilled water becomes a viable option for me one day. Thank you once again for your advice❤️

A brita filter does the trick for me!
