I germinate my anthurium seeds in individual plastic shot cups(holes in the bottom) with soil halfway up the cup then damp sphagnum moss on top and pop them in a plastic tub. Ive had very high success like this and they're all seperate and really easy to transplant when they're big.
I recently used perlite and tree fern fiber to germinate my anthurium Doroyaki seeds, and the best results were from the tree fern fiber by far. Larger leaves and thicker root!! Perlite produced longer roots, but smaller leaves for me. So try tree fern fiber if you ever have the chance 😊💚
This is awesome. My Anthurium (same as yours) has been producing fruit on its own for ages. I didn't know what to do. NownI just bought moss and have set up propagation boxes for the first time ever. I'm hoping for a follow up video with what to do next!!
Watching you from Dubai i support you ,iv learned alot ,it’s always fun to watch your videos ,and you have a such cute personality keep going I hope the experimental work🌱
Thank you for this great video! I just happen to have berries on an anthurium penden plant and was wondering what to do. Im going to try your methods when I get home. Thank you so much again! From Houston
Thank you for saying how long it takes from pollination to harvest. It took me a long time to find out that it could take 9-13 months for schlumbergera berries to be ripe and seeds to be ready to harvest.
F1 is the first generation of a cross between two different plants. The 2 plants might be coming from 2 different breeds or different hybrids or any 2 plants, but usually F1 is used by breeders to indicate that the F1 "children" are the best of the 2 parents because the children of the children (F2) and their children (F3) etc tend to show a waning of the characteristics for which they were crossed. I'm no expert in plants genetics but my understanding is as follows: suppose Claire gets a very fast growing plant (F1) from the 2 Clarinerviums she has crossed, there are many chances that if she self-pollinates this very fast growing plant (so she's getting an F2), it will be growing more slowly than its parent F1. The explanation for why this happens is very complicated, to sum it up we can say that the genes for fast growth in the F1 are very well expressed, while their expression is not stable in the next generations so in order to maintain a fast growth you have to keep crossing the same 2 parents . In the food and plant industry crosses are made in the lab in order to obtain plants with better characteristics, with more sugars, more protein contents, resistant to to diseases, etc. Disclaimer: this is only my understanding of a complicated matter, double-check with more expert people.
I'm going to be trying this when mine produces infloresens I think it's amazing!! thank you for making it so understandable. I have a question! do all the berries always look the same? and can you tell from the berries what type of anthurium it is if you have crossed 2 types? also could you mix many types of anthurium pollen at once to get hybrid babys of for example 3 or 4 types?...... thanks! I also appreciate how you said person with the baby 🏳⚧🏳⚧🏳⚧🏳⚧🏳⚧🏳⚧🏳⚧ x
Hi Claire, love your channel, I just purchased a 4 inch 3 leaf small Thai Constellation I noticed inside the pot it does have a netting around the plug which is then planted in the 4 inch pot. I know you had mentioned you are not a big fan of that netting and actually found a small pot inside one of your plants a while back. Do you suggest I wait until I’m ready to repot perhaps in the summer before I pull off the netting. I’m afraid to upset the baby plant now but I want it to still grow eventhough it has netting around the roots but planted in the 4 inch pot if that makes sense. Thanks so much
I would let your new plant acclimate to your environment for a few weeks so it’s not shocked in multiple ways at once, and then go ahead and repot it sooner than later. The longer it lives in the plug the more roots will be entangled with the netting & the more damage you risk in removing it. That said, I have often seen way more happy growth after removing those choke collars even if there are some root casualties in the process of removing them! Hope this helps!
Claire I’ve just bought seeds an corms from a place in the Netherlands . If I have small roots do I still keep them on a heat mat ? What’s more important heat or light
I want to clarify. When the droplets are gone and the pollen produces, it’s in the female stage? Do you brush the pollen on the plant in male stage or dust another plant in female stage?
I think the Anthurium gracile does self pollinate . I bought a clarinervium with 2 inflorescences and one is partially pollinated. I hope I will be able to get seeds and grow them.
I was wondering, if the way you harvested the seeds would be more efficent, if you repeat on step and then went to the other? First harvest all the berries and after this pop the seeds...
I understand you clean your seeds to reduce the chance of rot but how would the plant grow its babies in the wild? Aren't the berries meant to be nutrients for the seed? Just a wild guess I'm no expert 🤪

Hey, just want to say this but you are literally the BEST person I have seen giving advice on plants. You are my favourite youtuber too. :)

Same with me and Cali Wildflower germ 😂
You are my favourite plant person on yt. Very listenable and likeable.
Keep doing your thing. 😀
When you said you pollinated 9 months ago my head said “oh wow a whole child was birthed” 😂
😂
Clarinervium took so long to ripen after pollinating 😭 that's why I hate to use Clari for seed parent
Plant biology and the way plants operate is so fascinating.
This is awesome. My Anthurium (same as yours) has been producing fruit on its own for ages. I didn't know what to do. NownI just bought moss and have set up propagation boxes for the first time ever. I'm hoping for a follow up video with what to do next!!
you got the f1 question correct. s1 are fem'd. bx is a back cross.
Thank you for thus video, love watching!!!! Have a great day!!!
This is so great! I have an Anthurium since a few weeks. And it's so gorgeous.
Watching you from Dubai i support you ,iv learned alot ,it’s always fun to watch your videos ,and you have a such cute personality keep going I hope the experimental work🌱
Nice video. Thanks for the information! 😁👍
Great information!! Thank you for sharing.. I’m looking forward to the update 🤞😊

Great explanation- makes sense. Thanks!
saw someone on TH-cam throw the whole inflorescence in a prop box it obviously rotted but the seeds still germinated was really surprised
Super helpful! Thanks!

@@LeafyAndLearning thanks so much it’s in a small inch pot so I was going to just gently take the plug off and then back into the 4 inch pot
Claire I’ve just bought seeds an corms from a place in the Netherlands . If I have small roots do I still keep them on a heat mat ? What’s more important heat or light

Omg, Claire!!! I Think I pollinated my Cristallinum :D ( to Clarinervium)
Yayyyy! How exciting!!
Hi Claire,
I have a quick question for you I pollinated, waited months, but then the berries had no seeds? Any idea why that would be?
I was wondering, if the way you harvested the seeds would be more efficent, if you repeat on step and then went to the other? First harvest all the berries and after this pop the seeds...
Hi there!! Do you sell your seeds or do you know where to get some?
This is so exciting!!! Can’t wait to see how they do 💚
I understand you clean your seeds to reduce the chance of rot but how would the plant grow its babies in the wild? Aren't the berries meant to be nutrients for the seed? Just a wild guess I'm no expert 🤪
I want to know result
F1 is first generation hybrid
I enjoy you
i think its time for update
💚🪴💚
There's plant porn, and then there's plant porn.
Anthuriums germinate in light better :-)
thank you for a great video
I’m so impressed by you doing this,it’s so amazing! Claire you should be proof yourself at what you have achieved! 👌🏻💚🪴
