i really thought i couldn't grow anthurium without ultra high humidity until i saw your first vid on no drainage glass container. it definitely was a total game changer for me, major confidence boost and a new perspective on everything soil/substrat related. now i have five gorgeous and thriving anthuriums, thanks to you. they are literally the most chill plants for me, so obsessed with them. love your content 🌱💕
Yes! That’s amazing! I’m so glad these videos have helped! Thank you for sharing this with me😄
Isn’t it amazing? Congratulations….
The best how-to guide on anthurium i've seen! Simple, concise and thoughtfully executed. Thank you!
I appreciate that!
@@plantgayforlifeI agree with this comment! (:
Instant follow for not saying "bright indirect light" like everyone says for every plant!! Drives me batty. "Bright shade, dappled sunlight is SO much more specific, thank you!
Thanks for the follow! Most houseplants are shade growing tropical plants. That’s why so many common houseplants are given the “bright indirect light” instruction. But most ppl’s homes are still wayyyy too dark and that causes plants to slowly die. Basically if you are walking a trail in the woods on a sunny day, the light hitting the ground is “bright indirect light.” Little to no direct sun, but rather bright shade. That’s similar to the light these plants get growing under the rainforest canopy😁
@@plantgayforlife exactly!! I always had easy plants and switched to harder ones and just learned that it's too dark inside! I will search for info about a plant and I really want to know how much light it absolutely needs and how much (direct sun or darkness) it can tolerate. Thanks for tips. Looking forward to watching more 🙌🏿
Love the style of this video. Super simple delivery of rich information. Makes these delicate little plants feel so much more accessible.
This was the most thorough, useful guide to a plant I have ever seen. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!😁
New to anthuriums here. Just got my first two. Thanks for this video. Lots of great info and entertaining!
What a great video! Very Informative, to the point and still fun. You're a gem. Can't wait for the next one. Thanks!
thank you so much! next week's vid is gonna be a really cool one!!
This advice makes so much sense. Thank you!
What an awesome video. The holes, the info, the video and audio quality is superb
Such a good and informative video!!! 🌱
And yet again, Thank you SO VERY MUCH! ALL are looking really good! Still holding thumbs…but am feeling pretty sure we are on a roll! My Thanks .
I said it before and ill say it again i love ur videos. its comforting. its like those segments between Arthur where they take a break to show some kids n doing some experiments and then cut back to the show
Simply the BEST video on the Anthurium plant that I've seen to date...thanks for the much needed information!
😁
This was really beautiful and informative. I'll definitely subscribe to see more!
I have quite a number of anthuriums; they are mostly living in my cabinet as they seem to thrive in humidity. I planted my anthuriums in my own chunky potting mix. It’s interesting that you explained certain leafs type require certain watering.
I used to have them all in cabinets and grow tents as well. But as I curated my collection, the ones I kept got too big and had to be moved out. I even have one anthurium that's become a 3 foot tall floor plant! That's when I realized watering and humidity around the roots was more important, and now most of my anthuriums don't flinch when the humidity drops below 30% in the winter!
This is the BEST anthurium video I’ve seen to date, we’ll done!! ✨ and thank you.
thank you!
Absolutely beautiful Anthurium plants , enjoy watching .
Thanks Maya!
This is one of the most helpful plant videos I've ever seen. I'm in the beginning of my Anthurium journey and you make it so much less daunting. Looking fwd to more videos. Thank you!
Appreciate those words! Glad it was helpful!
This is the best and most thoughtful anthurium care ever omg!
☺️
Thank you! Agree with everything...tried all this and settled on Leca for my Anthuriums. New sub..over here!
I'm just starting with anthurium and now I feel much more confident! Thank you! 💚
You got this!
I’m just starting out with anthuriums and this really helps!
I love how comprehensive and informative this is. The way you break it down to leaf and root type is exactly what I needed. I have a baby clarinervium on the way and I already have so many glass vessels/vases, moss, leca, etc so I’ll definitely be trying the no drainage method. Thank you so much! ❤
thank you! you will have great success with the no drainage method!
I’m in LOVE with Anthurium and have started collecting them over the past 6 months..this was very helpful..you are adorable btw..Love your personality!
aww I appreciate that! happy planting!
This is the most comprehensive care guide for Anthurium I've ever seen. Thank you!
I've liked, subscribed and clicked the notification bell.
Thank you! Much appreciated😄🙏
Thanks plant guy. Very informative.
Love this vid! I’m new to anthuriums and just purchased some pretty high end plants. I love the substrate and clear jars you use gonna try that. Thank you 💚
Awesome! Thank you!
Fantastic summary of all things Anthurium-care related! I have fears over the no drainage holes thing. I am still trying to figure out how to increase airflow to the roots without drying them out. This video is giving me a bit more confidence to try a new substrate/method for my little velvety friends. They are growing, but not thriving. I am headed right over to your "Why NONE of my pots have drainage holes" video right now to learn more!
This has been more informative than I could ask for! Grateful you gave info that can be applied to other aroids. I've got a lil anthurium hookeri and can't wait to try others
thank you! glad the vid was helpful! hookeri is a great one to start with!
Thank you so much for this video!!!! I’ve watched it 3 times since finding it late yesterday. And yes it very inspirational ❤
thank you so much! glad you found it helpful!😁
You knocked this out the park! Best anthurium care video I've seen and I've seen a bunch! I luv luv anthuriums, can't get enough of'em but I'm floridian where the care is much easier for me here.
thank you! jealous i can't have an outdoor garden of aroids like ppl in south florida haha!
You should have waaaay waay more followers. Your voice is easy to listen to. The info is well organized and researched. Awesome!
Thank you! I appreciate that! share my content to help the channel grow!😁
THANK You SO MUCH ! Just in time…. am just trying Anthurium after longtime admiration.
The presentation of the information was so clear, simple, concise…. Ach! Hats off!
Appreciate that! Anthuriums are so fun to collect and grow!
Loved this video you made! ❤❤❤ It’s just what I needed to know. Would love another video on pollinating anthuriums…
definitely down the road! will also have a berry harvesting video for anthuriums coming soon!
this makes sooo much sense!! Now I know why my anthurium just teleported to the after life... Thanks for this very informative video!🙏💫
oh i've killed my fair share of anthuriums and I'm sure I'll kill more in the future haha! But that's part of the learning process!
Super helpful video!! And entertaining 😂❤ Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is THE BEST Anthurium video on TH-cam 🙌🏼 I will try airy mix in drainage free glass thx 😊🌱
Awesome! Thank you!
Very good video young man👏👏👏
You're my anthurium guru. Thank you for this really informative video.
My pleasure! Thanks for watching☺️
Indeed I meet someone with my favorite flower plant I tried to get a variety of blooms but don't çomplete as yet I hope u continue to keep up the good work interesting love always
I am super excited about growing my new baby.
Good Concept. You brief well. GOOD work
😁
Thank you for sharing. I'm a newbie with anthurium. This helped me a lot 🌱🌿
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the tips, I consider myself an intermediate gardener but I've struggled so much with my Anthurium and Alocasia (literally all dead or dormant at the moment) that I gave up on them completely. Last week, I bought some Pon and self-watering pots on a whim and I think I'll try to save them... especially since I just got myself an Anthurium pedatoradiatum for $10 in the clearance section! I just love this one and would love to see it mature instead of dropping its only remaining leaf. I've always wanted to hybridize it with a super dark velvet-leaf type Anthurium too!
Loved this.
Succinct and very informative. Thanks.
This was a great, very informative video! I am just now starting to expand my anthurium collection! I got two today! A Forgetii and a Luxurians x Radicans! 🥰
Thank you for watching! Sorry for the late response. Forgetii and lux hybrids are beautiful!😁
Great Information, my Anthuriums have been struggle city. I am going to take your great advice and try this with my Anthuriums.
you got this!
I recently got my wishlist plant which is a Splendid and I want to make sure Im taking the best care of it possible so it can thrive and this was such a relaxed but super informational video!
Thank you! I appreciate that! The pebbly leaf varieties are not easy but don’t get discouraged! Trial and error!
I love your narration it reminds me of PBS channels !!
Great summary! Good job! Green thumbs up 👍 (missing the right color, but you get it). New fan here
Thank you!
This was SO helpful and informative! THANK YOU! 🙏🏽💚Greetings from Brooklyn NY 🙋🏽♀️
Glad it was helpful!☺️
reat info. Liked the info. And the sense of humor. Thanks ben 😘
Thank you! But my name is Jake. “This has BEEN Plant Gay For Life”😜
This is such a great channel. I don’t know why the hell you haven’t more subs!!
Thanks! Help me spread the word and promote the channel!😁🙏
This was such a great video thanks
Thanks for this helpful video! I have a jungle of houseplants but I've never grown anthuriums. Now I feel ready
You got this! 😃
the jars and vases is the best hack ever. i don’t know why i never thought of this :D
So simple but makes ALL the difference!
Such an informative & entertaining video - 5 stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
I think I just found my new fave plant TH-camr.. thank you for this! I recently got my anthurium wishlist plants but they are making me nervous as they were imported by someone else and look a little rough. I'm hoping to make them beautiful again. They were heavily discounted so if I fail it's not going to hurt as bad but I like a challenge. Thanks for this vid!!
Glad you’re here! Good luck with your new plants! Rehabbing plants is hit or miss so don’t get discouraged if some don’t make it
Great video
🙌👍🙌 Great Job! Very Informative!!!!
Beginner !!!!!! Love it!
You got this!
Okay Jake,! Thank you. I will let the anthuriums be themselves as they will be, just as I have my other - “familiar” plants.. ( The Anthuriums have seemed SO daunting!).
Now, that it is pretty clear I am not killing them, it is time to get to know them…!
Thank you for this informative video 🙏 I've only got two Anthuriums in my home at present. A clarinervium and a pallidiflorum. Maybe I'll try that semi-hydro approach.
those are two great hardy species!
Algorithm brought me to this channel and I loved this video! Felt like I was watching a nature documentary. Now I am gonna binge your others!
Awesome! Enjoy the hot mess that is yours truly haha!
Thank you, that was really helpful info! I am a beginner to Anthuriums and I am starting with a King Veitchii Anthurium and a Anthurium Dorayaki x Crystallinum, had them for a couple months and they are doing well. I also just purchased a tiny Anthurium Magnificum x Luxurians. Wish me luck and TY again.
How exciting! Thanks for watching!
I just subscribe to your channel so far this video is on point thank u so much for explaining step by step🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
Welcome!
so informative!! loved the video and im not even finished with it lol
haha! Hopefully you enjoyed the rest of it!
i use pon and self watering pot for all my anthuriums. Root stays moist and airy all the time!
I’m a newbie and ❤ this content!!!
Welcome to the mess! 😊
I only have 2 right now a superbum and vittarifolium. So far so good. Tried a clarinervium last year and it died in 3 months. Looking forward to trying a couple more this season.
those two are great! beautiful and hardy. I say give clarinervium another shot! luxurians is another beautiful species that is pretty hardy!
Love this, thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hi Ben, thank you for your input on growing Anthurium's. I had given up on them as I killed so many variates. Then I took a tray filled it with leca and water and placed the Anthurium pots on it. And I have got the best result ever.
Though I wasn't aware about how airy the soil mix should be but I really liked the detailed yet simple explanation. I think I will have to remove the one's in the terracotta pot. Lol.
thank you! semi hydro is such a game changer. Also my name is jake not ben haha!
@@plantgayforlife omg. So sorry. My bad. I don't know why I thought you said Ben.
Yes Jake, semi hyro actually is a great way to grow so many different varieties of plants. Thank you again on for thjs video
@@gi10 oh ya know what, I said at the end "this has been plant gay for life" and it probably sounded like "this is Ben, plant gay for life! hahaha!
@Plant Gay For Life hahahaha. Yes. I heard it in the end only. 😁
After watching this video of yours, I ended up booking an Anthurium Regale (now I am fretting if I will be able keep that alive) I will revisit your video again and again 😄😄
This video was definitely make for me lol, i have over 100 plants in my apartment and NONE are anthuriums lol I've always been so sacred of having them, but have recently been thinking that I maybe ready.
YOU GOT THIS!
Beginner anthurium parent here! Thanks for this video! So educational. My first was a Clarenervium (currently in LECA and doing nothing) and today I bought a Forgetii (currently in nutrient water). Need to figure out what substrate I want to use for her.
Don’t overthink it. They can be successfully grown in moss, aroid mix, leca, perlite, pumice, fluval stratum, and many others:)
Great overview. I just had to pull out my Clarinervium tonight to address some root rot! 😩 Hopefully I caught it in time and it will bounce back. There were still lots of healthy roots and the stem was firm. 🤞🤞🤞 It’s been doing very well in pon substrate, but I may have added water to the reservoir too soon or overfilled. Your video gave me hope! Beautiful footage.
you got this! if there are good roots and the stem is not rotting, it will bounce back!
@@plantgayforlife really hoping it does!!! I’ve had it since it was a seedling and it was finally starting to upsize the leaves! It recently bloomed, too.
@@laurendao4467 don't be afraid to cut off inflos until it has bounced back, it'll force the plant to direct energy into rehabbing 🙂
Glad I found you! I have just started my Anthuriums adventure starting with Palidiforium, Magnificum and Queen. I use all terracotta pots and am thinking as long as I keep the substrate moist it should be fine, but you scared me about the roots. I have some nice plastic clear pots coming, I guess I’ll switch to those instead. 😢
Anthuriums are great and not difficult once you understand their needs! That being said…terracotta can work against you in a household environment. The dry air (compared to, say, a greenhouse) will dehydrate the substrate much faster. I know someone who grows anthuriums VERY well in terracotta but he waters them every other day. The vase/no drainage-hole method I use allows me more time in between waterings so that I’m not constantly watering plants. I can leave for a week and return, and my plants will not be dehydrated. Anthuriums are not like philodendrons, most of them require consistent moisture and will not grow well if they dry out in between waterings too often.
@@plantgayforlife your friend sounds like me. I don’t think more than 3 days go by before watering. Right now I don’t mind that as my schedule allows for it. I like doting over my plants. 😊 Thank you so much for your reply!!!
@@LeafyConversations if you find a method that works for you then stick to it!😁
Liked the video. Strange name, but informative video. Thanks!
I love you! I am so happy to see your video today. We grow anthuriums pretty much the same way. I saw some seedlings - are they from your plants?
Thank you! Yes the babies are from a Brownii!
@@plantgayforlife oh that's awesome! Brownii has a really nice shape 💗💗
@@roxymoron12345 and that B footage is OLD and they're a lot bigger now! I will eventually do an update on those!
@@plantgayforlife are you planning on selling those or trading for them eventually? I'm in OR but would love to buy one 😁
Intermediate grower, just 2 months in with houseplants but have professional experience that’s directly applicable. Ready to try some semi hydroponic! Debating the no drainage glass container; the remaining seems solid, so I’ll give it a go!
that's great! the no drainage club has had nothin but success!!
Thank you very much I think my Anthurium plant has a root rot problem because of water my leaves are turning brown and I don't know what to do but after watching your video I presume that it may be root rot problem.
Thank you! Check those roots!
Love this video! Super helpful and informative! Do you have any suggestions on how to convert a soil anthurium (vittarifolium) to semi hydro? She's a big girl in an 8 inch pot and some of her leaves are 36 -40 inches long 😍
Wow! That’s impressive! In my experience, converting a less aerated substrate to a more aerated substrate is much easier on aroid roots than the other way around. Meaning that trying to convert leca roots to soil can be tricky. But I find the odds are in my favor when converting soil roots to moss or leca, which is more aerated! HOWEVER, if you haven’t grown other anthuriums in semi hydro, I wouldn’t start out with your biggest and most prized plants. Start with plants that could easily be replaced if it doesn’t work the first time. With every hiccup or plant fail, I learn something invaluable. So by the time I got around to converting my high value aroids from soil to semi hydro, I did so confidently because I had already done it so many times with cheaper plants. Hope this was helpful! 😄
@@plantgayforlife great suggestion! Thank you!
Awesome video, both educational and inspirational! Ironically enough I am on the market for my first Anthurium, I have over 200 houseplants with a preeeetty diverse collection (at least I think so 😆) I am thinking of ordering from Eucagenera (Regal Shield and either the Crystallanium seedling along with another, maybe the Bessea) unless there are sales or another surfaces and catches my 👁 and you're right they do look intimidating 😅 but are sooooo intriguing. Will you be doing these types of videos with other Genus's? because it's genius, 🙃💦🌱💫 thanks for the great video!
Appreciate that! I might do videos on other genera if I feel like I know enough to properly educate others. Ecuagenera is a great place to start. If you're in the US I would order from ecuageneraus.com. They have a florida location and a new california location and those plants will go through much milder shipping stress than plants being imported from their ecuador location.
I'm currently growing my first anthurium from seed (Pedatoradiatum) so this will be invaluable for the time to come even though I'm growing one of the terrestrial varieties, I'll be sure to put my little one in a glass container so I can monitor his root development and humidity, it was one of those things that bothered me and wasn't able to figure out. It does make sense though.
How exciting! yes give it high humidity for a few months until it puts on some size. good luck!
@@plantgayforlife So a little update,
Everything went great and then the little fucker started dying on me, apparently they do not like to have water ON the leaf..... such a diva.
Got it fixed though and the second I got things right he pushed out his 4th leaf (yes he's a he don't ask me why he just is), kinda surprised cause its the first leaf that looks 'velvetty' and easily 8x times the size of the first couple of leaves. Looks like I'm finally doing things right!
Being emboldened by my 'succes' I ordered more seeds.... crystalinum, gloriosum and waroqueanum are now happily growing next to their big brother in their tiny drainage hole free transparent plastic cups and they are thriving! Can' t wait for them to put on some size.
@@theroyalpotato8390 that's exciting news! im happy to hear you haven't been discouraged by your seedling's setback. it still happens to me sometimes so you're doing nothing wrong! thanks for sharing the update!
Can you elaborate more on the care for could forest anthurium? I've had a cutucuense for a couple weeks now and I'm having a hard time finding care info for it. Thank you!
I haven’t grown that particular species so I couldn’t give specific care tips. Ask in an anthurium Facebook group like “Anthurium Addicts” and hopefully someone who has grown and cared for that species can help!
Subbed!💚 Would you recommend keeping sphagnum moss around the plants as a top dress?
thanks! sphag moss on top can actually be a good indicator for when to water since it will wick moisture from the substrate. So when it dries out you know to check the substrate to see if your anthurium needs a watering soon 😁
Where did you purchased yours?
I came late to Arthurium appreciation....i grew some Anth. crystillanum-clarinervum crosses from seed....and my babies are at 4-5 leaves, some larger than my hand , they came in glorious red, enlarging to deep velvety green with veins that look like streams of crystal sparkles... ......now i get it, im obsessed.
Welcome aboard😈
Setting up a grow tent now and new to anthuriums.
Now I need to start saving clear containers without holes.
Great video!
I only have a anthurium luxurians and she is thriving all due to your leca sphagnum recommendation! So ty for that!
Great content and video as always. Also hello from the NYC plant group
hey fellow new yorker! that's great to hear!! luxurians is one of the best!
Hi... Just wanted to know which light is good.. Is it white or blue light for queen anturium to maintain its dark colour
I've never seen a blue grow light. Use 'full spectrum.' 👌
How do you flush and clean your non drainage containers? Just hold them on top with your hands and rinse in the sink? I’ve been using clear nursery pots (with holes) with a catch pot (no holes) and I’m trying to decide if I want to switch. I think it would increase humidity but make it harder to clean and flush…
I never flush my pots so it's definitely not a necessity
This video is insanely informative! It can serve as a reliable genus care guide just like ones you read in houseplant care books. I'm just dipping my toes into anthurium, recently acquiring an A. Radicans x and A. Magnificum x that's a rescue. You mentioned that bullate leaves need more specific care but I don't think that applies for the Radicans and the Luxurians according to other people who own it, but I agree when it comes to the cloud forest types like the corrugatum and splendidum. I appreciate all the work you put into this, and especially the very concise way you delivered the information
Thank you for pointing that out! In my experience, I would say leaf thickness trumps leaf texture, as luxurians, radicans, and magnficum (all having thicker leaves) can be great hardy houseplants!
Thanks for this vid
This was just what I needed Ben.
I’’m scared to buy another Anthurium just for it to die.
You got this! Also I made the mistake of speaking too fast when i said 'this has been plant gay for life' at the end! My actual name is Jake haha!
@@plantgayforlife Thanks Jake!
I'm currently not growing any anthuriums but it is my 2023 plant goal to get one! I really appreciated your video. Which one do you think would be a good 'beginner' anthurium? Thanks!
It honestly depends on what catches your eye since there's such a variety! Two visually contrasting species I would suggest are clarinervium (thick leaves make it hardier than other velvet species I grow), and luxurians (great glossy/bullate leaf but slow growing)
@@plantgayforlife Thank you for taking the time to respond!
Got a question - should I use the Physan fungicide spray before there are signs of a problem, as prophylactic care, or should one wait?
You can definitely use it as a preventative as well as a treatment so long as it’s properly diluted in water. Sometimes I, and other growers I know, will spray the roots when repotting.
So when they get leggy and produce nodes you cut them. Let them dry over night then place in water?
you can certainly do that! But it might be easier to air layer a leggy anthurium stem with some sphagnum moss wrapped around the stem with saran wrap. Then chop once you see the stem producing some nice root that can be planted😊
Anthurium forgetii X Anthurium luxuriens is the next mountain to climb…. Have heard Forgetii hard, BUT - have seen your advice to a beginner in growing Anthuriums to try Luxuriens. AHA! Maybe I can do the hybrid…? Well, I shall try.
Both are great anthuriums to grow! Forgetii slightly less hardy than luxurians but not difficult to grow
So semi hydro is not good for them?? If so i need to move mine to soil asap!
