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)

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 😂

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. 😅

I don't have any anthuriums yet, but I feel more prepared now that I've watched your video.

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!

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.

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.

I have found that if I keep the soil too moist, it's a big attraction for fungus gnats. :)

‏‪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

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. :)

Great video! Thank you.

I was wondering if you would give a link to net pots and those awesome cache pots you use! I'm always looking for something new it seems!

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?

Hi Thankyou from west Australia 🇦🇺 great advice and explanations. 🪴😌💕

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 😂

@ThePlantsMeow

4 жыл бұрын

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. 😊

I love you my beautiful Ela 😊, keep healty for everyday 🌿🌼🌻🍀🍃🌱

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!

@ThePlantsMeow

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. 😃

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.

@ThePlantsMeow

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. 😊

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 :(

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! :)

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)

Question. When you get anthuriums shipped to you how do you go about acclimating them to your environment?
