I just want to add that if you don’t feel comfortable using miracle gro that you can just use peat moss. I had Miracle Gro recommend by 3 sources, including expert collectors. It has peat in it so you can just use peat 🤗 (anthuriums and philos LOVE peat)
Excellent video!! Your points on net pots vs terra cotta and the use of potting soil to retain more moisture for less watering are spot on. Very thoughtful guide discussing several points not often mentioned anywhere else. Cheers!
So, I’ve been growing plants for decades and this is the first time I’ve ever heard of a “net pot”. I think it’s brilliant. I will be receiving my first anthurium soon and found your care remarks very informative. I feel armed with good deets. Thank you!
You’ve introduced a new concept for me that I’m going to try and that is to stop watering my Anthurium fully and letting them sit until my moisture meter shows almost dry. It makes sense to water them with a watering pot every few days to keep moisture around them. I am a little scared though to change, but I think you’re right and that helps that I don’t live in a humid environment. Your leaves are gorgeous! I use tree fern in place of your peat I am not comfortable to try that yet. 😅
Bang on with the advice. Air circulation is one of the most important but sometimes least talked about aspect of plant care. I only learnt the hard way about the detriments of leaving plants in their plastic nursery pots after bringing back home. Plastic pots are fine for plant nurseries because the plants are usually outdoors (with shade nets) and the air is constantly circulating. I now have my Anthuriums in terracotta orchid pots (the ones with the holes in the sides) and they love them.
Thank you!! ❤️ Air circulation really is though. It is crazy how that is something not usually mentioned in a care video. I wish nursery plants came with a disclosure for people haha!
I’ve watched this video and your in depth care video on Anthurium-SO HELPFUL! I’ve watched them several times! Anthuriums are wonderful! YOUR ANTHURIUMS ARE INCREDIBLE! So lush! Thanks for sharing! Let’s see another Anthurium Tour! Plant Room Tour! Plant Growth Updates! I love your videos! Thank you for teaching me!!
I love the idea of those net pots, holy crap. When I repot my anthurium clarinervium in spring, I'm putting it in one of those. I'm generally terrified of root rot with these guys.
Thank you for the care tips! I am venturing out into the Anthurium world...I've been a Hoyahead for quite awhile..but I'm falling in love quickly with the gorgeous veining found on Anthuriums. Your videos and your positive attitude give me courage! 💚🌱
Great video! I know you usually receive beautiful healthy plants but for those of us who haven’t been as fortunate a video about acclimating extremely stressed plants would be beyond great! I’ve had some success and some failures. I’ve done what seemed logical but guidelines would be great! Your plants are so amazing !
Interesting tips about the net pots and Miracle Gro soil! I ran out of the fancy Fox Farm soil people say you should use and I wondered if there was really that much difference. I haven’t felt like making a special trip to a nursery for it. I only have one baby Anthurium, but I acquired some more small Alocasias at the same time and I’ve heard their care is similar.
Yes I need this video in my life!! I’ve been wanting to get into anthuriums and I’m scared 😬 I struggle with calathea ornata so I’m not sure I am ready for anthuriums. ❤️ hope you have a great weekend!
Haha I am thrilled to know you have found it useful! Honestly, I struggle with my calathea more than anthuriums lol! Maybe that is because I have dedicated more time to how to care for them though. Ugh I definitely need to better for my Princess Jessie lol 😂
I loved both versions of your anthurium care videos.. so so helpful! I bottom-water most of my plants to keep fungus gnats under control. Do you see any issues with bottom-watering anthuriums?
super video, i got all i needed regarding anthurium; i don't need to watch any other videos !!! thanks a lot.. though it is 2 year old video, but it is so informative.
This was very helpful, I have a anthurium Cuprea that went dormant on me and I have it in a small green house on a heatmatt and it's sending a shout up now. So when it's gets going again I'll be ready!! Thanks!! 😁😁😁
Marlene Frazier, I believe what you have is ALOCASIA Cuprea. I don’t think there’s an anthurium Cuprea. (Just trying to be helpful because alocasias are more difficult, for ME, at least)
Hello 👋 I just found your channel and I love it. I don’t own any anthuriums yet but I want to place my first order ( I love my philodendrons ☺️) . Which one do you recommend ? I am in Southern California. I don’t have a green house or tent. All my plants are on the shelfs and on the floor. I have a humidifier ( I move him to different locations 😂 so all my plants get some humidity). I really like the velvet leaves.
Great video! I really liked your more detailed one as well :) Question: you mentioned having mostly gotten rid of fungus gnats; what's your first line of defense in getting rid of them?
Thank you!! I did too! I just wish I had realized how bad the audio was beforehand. I felt the need to do this video especially because of that lol. For a while I was using diluted hydrogen peroxide 3% (1 pt. peroxide and 4 parts water). Then I tried Mosquito Bits that I soaked in water. Those two helped but did not eliminate my problem. Eventually I was talking to an expert collector who recommended Gnatrol BTI Fungus Gnat Killer. It is a powder that you put into water based on how bad your infestation is. I will link it below. It did WONDERS. www.ebay.com/itm/1-2-pound-GNATROL-BTI-Fungus-Gnat-killer-Pest-Control-Gnats-in-Soil-hydroponic/254443180269?hash=item3b3dfed0ed:g:scUAAOSwt0Fd9VLq:sc:USPSFirstClass!19709!US!-1
14:53 I loved your video it was the most comprehensive so far and i looked a lot, but for a beginner who only grow in soil, it is not reasonable to recommend bying 5 different substances just for trying to grow an anthurium. I understand you only tell what you do, but i was hoping you suggest a cheaper alternative
I totally love your video content -- just found you a few days ago and now I'm binging on your videos! I think I have that same anthurium on your left side, but I thought mine was an anthurium crystallinium. I bought mine from a buy who brought them all in bare-rooted from Indonesia in a suitcase for a garden festival here in Singapore!
Thank you so much for supporting my content! It means the world to me! 😊 I wish I had a festival with a mysterious suitcase of anthuriums! lol so cool! If you ever want to send a picture so I can try to identify it you can email me at theplantsmeow@gmail.com
Such a helpful video, thank you!!! I should really change my watering routine hearing you say they like to be kept moist. But when you say moist, could you be more specific? I use a moisture meter so at what number would you recommend to water? And also, how far down in the soil should the moisture meter go?? As it is now, I water my clarinervium about every two weeks and although it hasn't died it has only given me one new leaf since May so it's definitely not thriving either 😂
I do not use a moisture meter so I am not sure. I have in the past but it always says everything is dry so I think I'm doing something wrong with it lol! May I ask your soil composition? If the top of your soil looks dry I would say it is safe to water. You do not want your bottom half to get dry too. In the tropics they are used to water everyday. Unless the soil is heavy you should be fine watering more frequently. Your Clarinervium will thank you! Also, if you have not given it any fertilizer that should help in new growth as well. They cannot photosynthesize properly without it. 😊
Doing a 50/50 mix of Sphagnum moss and Perlite helps avoid compaction and allows good aeration. It is what most use for Nepenthes, which also like staying consistently moist like Anthuriums. :)
You're always so helpful! I've watched every one of your videos and most of them I've watched several times lol. I'd love to know how to acclimate your plants to be able to thrive in a lower humidity room like your plant room at around 60%. I let my plants acclimate to my home in my mini greenhouse but as soon as I get them out, they dry out!! What's your secret! Thanks so much love you 💚💚💚
I‘m keeping a lot of my anthuriums in Pon and they seem to be thriving. What do you think about Pon when it comes to Anthuriums? Also very informative video, good job! 🌿
That clarinervium x pedatoradiatum looks so much like a delta force! It’s said that that hybrid can’t just be called a delta force because it has specific genes. But it looks so much like it! Did you buy it as a delta force? I’m just wondering because I’d like to experiment with making hybrids of those, and that gives me some hope!😹
Thanks for the video! You mention about fungal infection with your queen anthurium. How did you treat your? Mine is looking real sad with all the brown spots...help!!
Great video!! I've had my An. Clarinervium for a few months now and it has done absolutely done nothing. Posted in orchid bark coco coir perlite and a bit of potting soil ..In teracotta pot. Fertilized with an organic liquid fertilizer. Only thing I haven't done that you recommend is purchasing a fan for air circulation. I also noticed the leaves are a lot lighter green than typical?..any thoughts?
I just found your channel and I am so in love with your content 💚. Best Anthurium videos I have ever seen. I just have a question what to when you receive your anthurium in soil? Do you repott it anyways or do you leave it for a while for aclimation?
Thank you, very informative video as always :) But I was wondering... You said, you used distilled water, since soft water made the edges crispy. Isn‘t distilled water softer then soft water, since distilled water is pure H2O? Would love to hear back from you ☺️
Soft water has high salt content, which is what makes it soft. This can kill your plants in time. Distilled is boiled down and pure. I recommend distilled or reverse osmosis. Reverse osmosis is the cheaper option if you have a system installed (and no plastic! Lol)
It is a natural substance made from a tropical plant called a tree fern that has fronds growing from the top. It is great for retaining water like a sponge and evenly distributing it throughout. It is also supposed to last and not break down like sphagnum does. I consider it the better alternative. 😃
@@ThePlantsMeow Oh,so nice.I live near Gdańsk,on the Baltic coast,where Solidarity movement started...I grow mainly orchids now..but I always had a soft spot for anthuriums.I'll be happy to watch you regularly.Take care,we're getting scary news about US.Where do you live exactly?a hug,Irena
Hello there loved the video I just order an anthurium crystallinum coming in spag moss from Indonesia! Do u have any advice on hot to rehab it? Should I put it in water to help the root system recover? Or keep it in the moss until it recovers? Help 😭
Great info, thank you! I just purchased an anthurium and put it in my greenhouse. I think every leaf was burned:( I’m so sad. She looks terrible! Any suggestions???
Thank you! 🤗 Since you can’t reverse leaf damage you’ll have to wait for new leaves to grow in. As long as you give her the proper care like I mention in this video you should be fine 💚🌿
M Ward this is difficult to say because it depends on numerous things like the vitality of a plant, fertilization, light, water, soil health, etc. You may get a new as soon as the last is finished hardening or months later.
Im receiving a Regale soon, its currently in Leca im on the fence if I should switch it to Pon. I have most of my philos in pon, but no anthuriums. I water them all like normal with no resevoir. Im scared to do this with the Regale cause I don't want it to dry out too much. Currently have no self watering pots so I don't know what to do!
Hi! For my forgetti anthurium I use sphagnum moss, charcoal, coco chips, and perlite, I’m hoping that would be okay? I used those ingredients because it was recommended, if you can reach out and let me know if that’s suitable :(
oh no, I've read a lot of instructions and I thought it was supposed to get dry and then thoroughly water! my anthurium has been starting to get a lot of brown on leaves so I'm wondering if that's the reason or something else... also my leaves are not pointing upwards :/ I am going to check the roots soon if there's something wrong there but do you have any idea what would be the most likely reason for the crunchy brown parts on leaves? I also suspected sun might've burnt them... I only put it on windowsill for the winter but I got the brown parts already before when it wasn't on window/straight sun.
@@ThePlantsMeow I'll send you one, thank you so much forehand! the crunchy parts have actually started to peel off a bit but it actually just pushed a new leaf now!
I have 2 seedlings. I hade a node but I somehow killed it. I think that died from a pest lol but I'm really so desperate to grow these seedlings. I have to be doing something wrong. I've had them since April of last year and they have never grown for me. They are tiny tiny. Hope to figure it out asap. I've been able to keep them alive but never grow. :(
Can I lightly spray my clarinervium down in the shower to get some of the dust and watermarks off of it. Or is it best just to leave it alone. Well my main question is. Will water harm the leaves?
Mary J’s Plants That is fine! I usually spray mine with diluted Castile soap and then rinse really good with water 🤗 you could also take a wet rag and clean it. But the shower is good too!
The Plant's Meow thank you for the advice. I do have that soap! Maybe a quick spray with water this go round first though. I’m babying this thing too much! I need to quit looking at it 😂
I use them specifically for anthuriums because they really need that extra air to promote larger root growth. You could try it with other plants but it isn’t necessary bc it doesn’t really change the size of their roots as drastically 😊
Question. When you get anthuriums shipped to you how do you go about acclimating them to your environment? I took my anthurium out of its spaghnum moss and put it in water for a week and now I’m potting it up. Would you recommend this or something else? I noticed when I took the plant out of its water the roots were mushy /: I removed the really squishy ones but now I’m worried
I have not tried worm castings myself as none of my research about anthuriums suggested it. Even articles written by expert collectors mentioned the ones I have in the video. That being said I have done a lot of research about worm castings and they sound absolutely wonderful. They retain moisture, balance soil ph for proper nutrient absorption, prevent root rot, and contain plenty of nutrients with the added bonus that they will not burn your plant. I am highly considering switching to this for my anthuriums when the time comes. Just remember to reapply every 2-3 months! :)
@@ThePlantsMeow Thanks for the opinion! I've seen or read that mostly vegetable gardeners uses them. Rarely see anyone uses them for their houseplants. Not sure why a lot of 'houseplant parents' aren't using them as they are readily available everywhere! Anyhooo, I've started using it on all my houseplants(mostly aroids) last week. I'll shall update you!
i don't understand something - you use the black net pots for air, but then you trap them in a white sealed container? where is the air going to come from?
No, plants can be different in different environments. My Anthurium drink tap water, as a matter of fact, city tap water. Also, mine does not like overwatering. So I do let them dry down to a quarter of the bottom container.
Of course they can be different in different environments. Everybody’s tap water is different. In my state there are towns with arsenic in their water. I have high salt in mine so tap isn’t an option. I simply recommend what is best - this doesn’t make it the ONLY way. Watering depends on your medium. If you have a very fast drying medium you’ll need to water more often. Denser mediums require it less frequently. My video is based on my environment. I cannot give advice for everybody’s unique environment. This is based on my own experience and talking with professional growers. I go into more detail in my comprehensive care guide. 😊
Thank you for the great tips! But I’m so sad - my anthurium clarinervium is dying. I followed everything in your video the best I could, but I don’t feel it’s working. Do you have any other advise?
I have seen other people do this but never tried it myself. The idea of it being closed worries me because they need a lot of air flow being so susceptible to disease.

I just want to add that if you don’t feel comfortable using miracle gro that you can just use peat moss. I had Miracle Gro recommend by 3 sources, including expert collectors. It has peat in it so you can just use peat 🤗 (anthuriums and philos LOVE peat)
The Plant's Meow Sorry if this is a dumb question, but do you mix the peat in with the soil or just put it around the outside of the plant?
Where did you get your white cashe pots? I have a bunch of net pots but finding cashe pots has been a pain!

Excellent video!! Your points on net pots vs terra cotta and the use of potting soil to retain more moisture for less watering are spot on. Very thoughtful guide discussing several points not often mentioned anywhere else. Cheers!
Thank you so much! That means a lot coming from you 😊
So, I’ve been growing plants for decades and this is the first time I’ve ever heard of a “net pot”. I think it’s brilliant. I will be receiving my first anthurium soon and found your care remarks very informative. I feel armed with good deets. Thank you!
I have watched this video and the comprehensive one like 20 times!!!! Thank you for sharing your valuable knowledge ♥️
You’ve introduced a new concept for me that I’m going to try and that is to stop watering my Anthurium fully and letting them sit until my moisture meter shows almost dry. It makes sense to water them with a watering pot every few days to keep moisture around them. I am a little scared though to change, but I think you’re right and that helps that I don’t live in a humid environment. Your leaves are gorgeous!

Thank you! 🤗 Since you can’t reverse leaf damage you’ll have to wait for new leaves to grow in. As long as you give her the proper care like I mention in this video you should be fine 💚🌿
Where do you purchase your rare plants from?
3rd or 5th time watching this video an I’m sure I’ll watch it again 😃💚
This video is so so helpful thanks so much :)
Great video!!💚🌱
Annette LeSarge thank you!! 🤗
Quick Q-in your experience or knowledge, after a new leaf if fully developed, how long does it take for a new leaf to sprout? Thanks!
M Ward this is difficult to say because it depends on numerous things like the vitality of a plant, fertilization, light, water, soil health, etc. You may get a new as soon as the last is finished hardening or months later.
I love you your my favorite youtuber im crying I love you 💕
You are so sweet! 🤗
Anthurium have names as extravagant as their leaves. XD
Btw, can we best best friends? Cuz the intro alone made me think- she’s on my level.
Don’t they though?! 🤣 and yes we can be 💕💕💕😍
Great video! Love it!!
Im receiving a Regale soon, its currently in Leca im on the fence if I should switch it to Pon. I have most of my philos in pon, but no anthuriums. I water them all like normal with no resevoir. Im scared to do this with the Regale cause I don't want it to dry out too much. Currently have no self watering pots so I don't know what to do!
Hi! For my forgetti anthurium I use sphagnum moss, charcoal, coco chips, and perlite, I’m hoping that would be okay? I used those ingredients because it was recommended, if you can reach out and let me know if that’s suitable :(
You help me a lot thank you
Ello! Is neem oil a no-go on the actual foliage?
Great video thank you 😊
I am so glad you enjoyed it!! 😃
oh no, I've read a lot of instructions and I thought it was supposed to get dry and then thoroughly water! my anthurium has been starting to get a lot of brown on leaves so I'm wondering if that's the reason or something else... also my leaves are not pointing upwards :/ I am going to check the roots soon if there's something wrong there but do you have any idea what would be the most likely reason for the crunchy brown parts on leaves? I also suspected sun might've burnt them... I only put it on windowsill for the winter but I got the brown parts already before when it wasn't on window/straight sun.
emilia can you send me a picture of them over on Instagram? I will gladly help. 🤗 If you don’t have one then send to my email theplantsmeow@gmail.com
@@ThePlantsMeow I'll send you one, thank you so much forehand! the crunchy parts have actually started to peel off a bit but it actually just pushed a new leaf now!
Hi!! Is it good to use a Cactus Soil instead of the Moisture Control soil? Cheers!!
Are self watering pots good for them? Just got an import. It has acclimated well but I am still concerned.
About to get my first anthurium the superbum do you have one? I do really well with Alocasia so I thought I can handle Anthuriums😬
I don’t have a superbum but congrats on your new anthurium! 😍👏🏼
The Plant's Meow thank you😊
I have 2 seedlings. I hade a node but I somehow killed it. I think that died from a pest lol but I'm really so desperate to grow these seedlings. I have to be doing something wrong. I've had them since April of last year and they have never grown for me. They are tiny tiny. Hope to figure it out asap. I've been able to keep them alive but never grow. :(
Thanks Meow :) lovely 💚
Thank you!! 😊
Can I lightly spray my clarinervium down in the shower to get some of the dust and watermarks off of it. Or is it best just to leave it alone. Well my main question is. Will water harm the leaves?
Mary J’s Plants That is fine! I usually spray mine with diluted Castile soap and then rinse really good with water 🤗 you could also take a wet rag and clean it. But the shower is good too!
The Plant's Meow thank you for the advice. I do have that soap! Maybe a quick spray with water this go round first though. I’m babying this thing too much! I need to quit looking at it 😂
Hey! Hoping you can help. I just got an anthurium crystallinum and the leaves are wilting. Is it dead? Any idea what I should do?
Would you suggest using netpots for all plants or are there plants who do not like all the air by their feet :p ?
I use them specifically for anthuriums because they really need that extra air to promote larger root growth. You could try it with other plants but it isn’t necessary bc it doesn’t really change the size of their roots as drastically 😊
Have heard “papill-LEE-laminum”
Question. When you get anthuriums shipped to you how do you go about acclimating them to your environment? I took my anthurium out of its spaghnum moss and put it in water for a week and now I’m potting it up. Would you recommend this or something else? I noticed when I took the plant out of its water the roots were mushy /: I removed the really squishy ones but now I’m worried
I should also specify that I didn’t do a thorough inspection to see if the roots were mushy when I received the plant.
What are your thought on Worm casting for Anthuriums?
I have not tried worm castings myself as none of my research about anthuriums suggested it. Even articles written by expert collectors mentioned the ones I have in the video.
That being said I have done a lot of research about worm castings and they sound absolutely wonderful. They retain moisture, balance soil ph for proper nutrient absorption, prevent root rot, and contain plenty of nutrients with the added bonus that they will not burn your plant. I am highly considering switching to this for my anthuriums when the time comes. Just remember to reapply every 2-3 months! :)
@@ThePlantsMeow Thanks for the opinion! I've seen or read that mostly vegetable gardeners uses them. Rarely see anyone uses them for their houseplants. Not sure why a lot of 'houseplant parents' aren't using them as they are readily available everywhere!
Anyhooo, I've started using it on all my houseplants(mostly aroids) last week. I'll shall update you!
Can I use coco coir that I have instead of buying miracle gro?
Can you bottom water these? I had a fungus gnat issue a while back and don’t want them to comeback lol
i don't understand something - you use the black net pots for air, but then you trap them in a white sealed container? where is the air going to come from?
Great video. Good information.
Thank you! 😃
Oh man. I couldn’t handle that watering schedule 😓
No, plants can be different in different environments. My Anthurium drink tap water, as a matter of fact, city tap water. Also, mine does not like overwatering. So I do let them dry down to a quarter of the bottom container.
Of course they can be different in different environments. Everybody’s tap water is different. In my state there are towns with arsenic in their water. I have high salt in mine so tap isn’t an option. I simply recommend what is best - this doesn’t make it the ONLY way. Watering depends on your medium. If you have a very fast drying medium you’ll need to water more often. Denser mediums require it less frequently. My video is based on my environment. I cannot give advice for everybody’s unique environment. This is based on my own experience and talking with professional growers. I go into more detail in my comprehensive care guide. 😊
My indoor Anthurium plant leaves are slowly turning yellow !!What would be the reason,, please comment
Thank you for the great tips! But I’m so sad - my anthurium clarinervium is dying. I followed everything in your video the best I could, but I don’t feel it’s working. Do you have any other advise?
Amy Rodriguez can you email me some photos of her? Or on Instagram?
My email is ThePlantsMeow@gmail.com
Are you from California? I only hear my peeps from California say "hecka" lol
Are anthuriums harder to take care of than calatheas?
Personally I think calathea are harder. Never understood them 😂
I might have missed it in the video but can I put my anthurium in a closed terrarium ?
I have seen other people do this but never tried it myself. The idea of it being closed worries me because they need a lot of air flow being so susceptible to disease.
That was my worry as well. Do you think I can just put it in a closed container maybe only at night ?
That might be okay but I would monitor it to make sure no bacteria develops. The main problem is if the leaf remains wet and isn’t allowed to dry out.
What do you do if you leave for a week?
I never go away for more than a few days 😅 but if it did I would have my brother come water after vigorous training 😂
hello! :) How often do you water with the Magnesium Sulfate solution?
Once a month 😊
@@ThePlantsMeow thanks so much beauty
