Loved this video it says it exactly as it is with Anthurium. Yes started out with the queen and no longer have her lol. It’s all a learning curve and plants are there to teach us the good and the bad. I’m now loving my little Anthurium collection, starting most of them off as seedlings, it’s so rewarding watching them grow from 2 leaved tiny babies into plants in their own right. 👍💚

I have both type of plants, and like both. They are very different. Like the variety of leaf shape philos have, but do like the compactness of Anthuriums. Not so fond of how ugly Anthurium leaves can get as they age, and the lack of leaves that can occur, but nothing is as beautiful, except the black velvet alocasia, as the dark velvety leaves of anthuriums.

I hate to be a contrarian but due to the special Inzerra substrate my philos and anthurium get the same level of care and they both thrive! So ty for that 🙏

I'm Colombian. AKA Aeroid Heaven. I moved to Philadelphia and I'm just learning how to grow plants indoors. I know little about growing Anthuriums, other than they, just like Begonias, are finicky and they detest changes in growth conditions. You've empowered me. My goal for 2024 is to grow a couple of Anthuriums. Thank you for sharing your experience.

You can definitely grow more than a couple with ease! 😁 ps if Columbia was more tourist friendly I would LOVE to go their to see all the aroids!

@Anil18834 7 ай бұрын

@@plantgayforlife It's very tourist friendly now. This is not the 90s. If you want to go, let me know and I'll make a few recommendations regarding places to visit that can offer guided hikes, a little bit of beach, a little bit of mountain, etc. We have everything from Caribbean and Pacific coastlines to snowy mountain peaks to desert. Who knows, you keep making these educational videos, you might even take a tax write off for the trip.

@@Anil18834 i plan to visit panama and do a vid there in the spring. i originally wanted to of to columbia but the US travel guide has many areas of Columbia listed under "reconsider traveling here" which sounded iffy. and many of the juicy aroid hotspots are in those remote areas. but id love to chat more about it on instagram if you have any recommendations! 😁

Love this video! Comparing anthuriums against philos was satisfying to see. I have a few anthuriums (crystal, veitchii, and a magxforgetii) and have been holding back from getting more because I've been thinking my philos are gonna get bigger, but they've only gotten more annoying! 😂 I'd love to see an alocasia video. I feel like alocasias have gone out of trend, but they are so beautiful, and a large percentage of my collection is alocasia.

I love my philodendrons much more over my anthuriums but your videos have inspired me to venture into more anthurium plants…I recently have purchased a new Peru imported Anthurium Monster after I swore I would buy no more. My Queen is amazing and I’ve even propagated her but other than that I struggle with my Variegated Anthurium Pterodactyl 😓 She hates me. Her roots are AMAZING but she used to have many leaves and now only has one. And just stays like that now 😢 Mere is what I call her.

Your videos definitely give me courage but I still haven't experienced any stress with my philos so it's hard to overcome the stigma of anthurium I guess 😅 Got my first one a Angamericanum and it's struggling a bit but I guess my biggest problem yet is that I cant really read it? Like are the yellowing margins a lack of potassium or over or underwatering?? Well see how I do ❤
