Thought I would share a few photos from the house anthuriums today including a new Queen anthurium. 

These are nearing "run of the mill" anthuriums at this point. 

 

Anthurium crystalinum threw out a new leaf. Quite large and still floppy:

Anthurium crystalinum division:

The new Queen Anthurium I've now had for about a month and a half and has been rooting in the pot quite well and aggressively, already coming out of the bottom, and is in the process of producing its first leaf for me. It hasn't gone brown or crispy, and seems to be quite happy.

IMG_1643.thumb.JPG.5e977c05bae70f5b0ef00501e235439b.JPG

 

Last up is this Anthurium X which I have struggled with for years. 

Outdoors it produces near flawless leaves, indoors they go deformed. 

Shame, because the leaves are quite velvety and shiny. 

I will likely repot this one in spring into a better aroid mix I now use on all my houseplants and aroids.

Just a couple of photos from the yard. These Anthurium were looking great after what seemed like never ending rain the last seven days.

A. spectabilis, pseudospectabilis, and a few other things. The one grouping is growing in a clump of old root bosses of C. lutescens and the other is in a pot I need locate to someplace higher.

Beautiful lush gardens. Amazing to see a worocqueanum just casually growing outdoors on a tree.  And the Alocasia cuprea is really nice too .  Ah, the wonders of growing in Hawaii 😁

Thanks Joesph, took awhile for the worocqueanum to get going, let’s see how it does in the long term. The A. cuprea are like weeds, they are always popping up in the garden.

I'm about to have to chop my Warocq. It got too cold this winter during the Christmas deep freeze (it's right by the wall) and it defoliated except for two leaves. I am going to propagate it and move it in toward the core of the greenhouse where its a lot warmer in winter. Temp sensor said it only got to 48F in the area where it grows, and nothing else was damaged, so I guess 48 is just too cold for Warocq

Tim, you always inspire me to keep planting!

Aroids are certainly perfect palm companions and the more I see the more I like them.
 

Colombia and Hawaii travel last Fall was aspirational as well as this PT topic.

Thanks everyone!

Tim, interesting to see both species together.  Is the first photo you posted (and copied below) the spectabilis?
 

image.jpeg.fe547dfa6ff0c2d4781d550c710acf68.jpeg
 

I got one from Hawaii labeled as spectabilis and I really hope it matures into the wider leaves like yours has. 
 

Also, if anyone can solve this anthurium puzzle —-I photographed this anthurium at Fairchild’s conservatory a few years ago and am still trying to identify it. There was no tag I could locate and the closest photos I can match online is pseudospectabilis with the more wide, stout (less narrow) mature leaves. Anyone know what species this could be? Very robust and heavy texture to the foliage and petioles.

A. Pallidiflorum putting out ever longer leaves, I had to raise the plant to keep the leaves from getting submerged into the jacuzzi tub below.  A. Veitchii s even put out leaves over the winter. Also, my first new leaf on A. luxurians.  Love how the texture catches the sunlight.  Lastly, a grouping that enjoys the East light in the kitchen.

Joseph, I was assuming it was A. spectabilis due to it’s wider leaves,the pseudos  leaves are so much thinner.

Anthuriums metallicum and marmoratum and queremalense:

I was reading an online article written by Jay Vaninni on velvet leaf anthuriums. He writes very educational articles on Exotica Esoterica; amazing photography as well. Anyhow, these three anthuriums stood out to me and reminded me vaguely of warocqueanums in less dramatic forms. The leaf sizes these can attain, along with their sheen and texture, are very appealing and I think worthwhile adding to my collection.  These two, metallicum and marmoratum, just arrived today from Ecuagenera, FL.  Amazed seeing the texture on the marmoratum and they sent me a big one too; just look at that stem 😁.  I’m waiting on the queremalense to ship from Ecuador.

metallicum below:

The Anthurium querelmalense finally arrived from Ecuagenera Equador.  Slipped in just prior to any UPS worker’s strike.  
 

Also, ecuagenera sent out a list of larger aroids in stock; with larger prices of course —these are larger than what they typically offer and require extra shipping. Anyhow, I didn’t see any Anthurium veitchii listed and since I’ve been looking for a large one for awhile I decided to ask.  They kindly found one and shipped a nice healthy one. Largest potted one I’ve seen in person and hopefully i can get it through acclimation; I can tell it will be a challenge. Temperatures and humidity here this week have been as close to Central / South American rainforest conditions as we will ever get in RI, so at least I have that in my favor.  The sunroom spot for this was high 8Os F and 99% humidity.

lastly, I ordered another Philodendron spiritus-sancti seedling as prices have really come down.  I wanted this spare from a reputable company to ensure I had the real deal.

I once again added three "Anthurium pseudospectabile" to my Floribunda order, and they are HUGE! These ones are larger than last years'... which was larger than the previous years'. My best guess is that they are all the same batch and have never been bumped up in pot size.

The downside is that the roots were absolutely CRAMMED in the tiny 4" pots. I had to cut the pots to get them out. I'm hoping they'll be ok, since I'm thrilled with the leaf size.

I'm planting them in some very expensive "aroid" soil, which is loose and made of many expensive ingredients (normally would mix my own, but trying to max my chance of success). My question is where I should set the new soil line. I'm currently thinking of making the soil line approx where the arrow is in the below photo.

Any thoughts on soil line? Or other advice on how to give them their best chance? I'm relatively new to anthuriums.

That is a nice size for a 4” pot😁. If I were repotting that I would generally pot up to the original soil line, and then loosely pack good quality spagnum moss around the stem of the plant above soil.  I usually then add a stake or two adjacent to the stem and wrap some twine around the moss.  That has worked for me.  However, if you are using a well aerated chunky aroid mix, even if the new soil level goes above the original soil level the stem won’t be suffocating under heavy wet soil.  
 

Photos below of one that had a long vulnerable neck above the soil. In this case I used a totem pole because I had it available, but normally I would use a few bamboo stakes to wrap the moss around.

Ok, they LOOK better if nothing else. I've got these hanging outside now, in my "most favored" spot... with humidity misters.

anthurium.thumb.jpeg.4480f774acc9a3cf172debe51e648709.jpeg

Any idea at what temperature I need to bring them in at night?

* I know I should probably keep them inside, but I have a dream of hanging them outside in nice temps... any chance? I've read the published low temps, but gotten some plants to be ok with outside (and happily, plants can't read). Don't want to be an idiot though, and kill them right out of the gate.

….😆 that gave me a good laugh with my morning coffee! 😁

They do look good in their new pots with moss. Really shows their size.  I’ll defer to those in warmer climates (and able to grow outdoors) for information on minimum temperatures. I can add that mine have been in a sunroom down to 48 degrees F and have been fine.  Although, the ample humidity and lack of drying winds  in the sunroom environment can only help.  Winter temperatures in the sunroom typically run around 55 at night during winter and my plant ceases putting out new leaves until springtime.

This is remarkable.  Beautiful foliage. One of the results of your hybridizations I’m assuming.  
 

I pollinated my magnificum with pollen from my warocqueanum a few months ago.  It started to create what looked like berries but then the inflorescence died off; i read that this particular cross is possible but often the seeds are not viable.

Some of my aroids have decided that they wanted their own space.  Am Finding that even though the anthurium worocqueanum will sustain as a houseplant in my conditions, it needs higher humidity than the rest.  Has trouble with leaves unfurling completely and getting caught in themselves; distorting and tearing the leaves. Unintentional experiment occurred as I had a fussy one under a plastic tent and had no issues unfurling where as the other one had issues and would not hold more than 2 leaves.  Anyways, I bought this glass cabinet to grow and display the waroqus and other sensitive aroids. Holding at over 70-80% humidity and 70 degrees F. Small fan inside for good circulation. We’ll see how they respond over the next months.

Thank you Cindy.  I’ve been enjoying the journey of growing orchids, which has led to palms, and now aroids.  The foliage colors and patterns on some aroids are just extraordinary among foliage plants. I liken them to tropical fish in an aquarium!

I also enjoy the “Tropical Plants other than Palms” section on PT!
 

I am happy the IPS is currently willing to pay the substantial costs for all of us to enjoy this friendly forum.

I am told that many other plant groups have dropped their public forums due to data crashes or high costs or hackers or just inappropriate and unfriendly posts.

Lol.  I’ve never been on facebook and sometimes feel like I’m missing out on some of the benefits of being there.  But I often hear more negatives. I think PalmTalk and the Orchid Board have the best plant communities: knowledgeable civil, and eager to help others in the hobbies.  Am Considering joining the Aroid Society and hoping that they also have a decent forum for aroid enthusiasts.

You are missing nothing. I am very selective about the Facebook groups I am on. I belong to one local page, and a few 'special interest' pages for Goths, Punks and Heavy Metalheads who garden. There is a page for every plant LOL but they all decline into too much drama, everyone thinks they are experts and want to tell you your way of growing is for shit etc etc etc. And its all oneupmanship, and showing off.

Plants / other " nature "-related stuff  ...or just in general,  when it comes to Facebook   ..or the other, - now ruined-  major Social media site,   believe me, lol ..you aren't missing out on anything.  I was on FB. years ago, but quickly tired of the dull, self absorbed mindlessness of it. Considering the last several years, glad i bailed before things really went to H8LL..

As far as societies are concerned,  considering my diverse interests in / knowledge of  plant " groups "  ..and that no one group of plants is an island..   individualistic plant groups ..that usually only focus on one particular plant group don't really suite me..   I've found that some of the same negative nonsense that can be found in / among F.B. or Twitter ( X )  plant groups,  can easily be found in plant societies as well. 

Being a " fly on the wall with their head in a swivel / ears wide open " during various plant society sales / events over the years, i've noticed there's often a lot more focus on the self- pleasing " look at me " aspects,  rather than important stuff  -to me-  like understanding the ecological role x plant(s) play in their total environment, etc much deeper conversations.. 

Besides that, don't have the time or money to spend constantly crossing the country trying to attend all the different plant society events that spark my interest  ..On top of those for various animal groups, weather related stuff,  etc,   etc....

I’ve been watching this Anthurium for a while now, since growing it from seed. When I see ripe seed on the spadix, I just place them on moss that grows around palm bases. I don’t track varieties from whence the seed is from and it’s obvious cross pollination is common, because I never know what the plants will develop into.

So, back to the subject…..this Anthurium is unlike anything in the garden and it’s almost as if it is a cross with A. cupulispathum and another ornamental, if that’s even possible, I don’t know. The spathe and spadix are big and showy and the leaves are getting large with a sinus and veins similar to A. cupulispathum. 

Here are a few photos including an A. cupulispathum in the background.

Extraordinary plant.  Bloom and foliage. Has more to offer than many of the recent overhyped aroids with fancy marketing schemes, names and prices.  Good for you!!  It’s a hybrid I would buy.

Anthurium cupulispathum is in section Belonchium, and A. andreanum is in section alomystrium. I have no idea if those 2 would cross, but that big pink spathe makes me think a cupulispathum and a pink andreanum might have crossed paths somewhere in the night LOL
