Anthurium salvenii

[happypalms]

A large leafed anthurium in the collection. Anthurium salvenii I know nothing about except I will plant it in the ground is all I know about it. But for now it lives in the greenhouse.

I love all the Anthuriums and most of them do very well in my climate. The 'bird nest' varieties are the stand out here. They get so big very quickly and I have to give them away after a couple of years. I have some of the climbing species here both indoors and outside but they grow slowly and I think I have doubled up on them a few times. The one time I paid a lot of money for a tiny one however, it couldn't die on me fast enough ! The types with the big plastic looking flowers thrive for me,  never stopping to produce gorgeous flowers prolifically.  I have to separate them every 2 years or so or they fill the tubs they are in.

A truly wonderful genus.

Iam hooked on anthuriums now. Just starting to get a few  good ones after killing so many. Arden suggested I just grow them in a greenhouse not a hothouse. So far it seems to be working. I will put aside a veitchii for you free after winter. They are the easiest to grow in my opinion. There are so many varieties available and some go for big bucks. I seen one sell at an eBay auction for $5000 when the world got locked up. I don’t what was more crazy the $5000 anthurium or the world locked up.
