My doc block michelle x dark crystal with burgundy emergent leaves and red sinus was very worth $25, so I'm a fan of hybrids and accessibility. Even if I prefer some of the more "purebred" varieties I have a mental block about spending more than $30 on plants these days

Loved this one! The bit about certain breeds are picky about what they can cross pollinate with was really interesting & new to me! Always love learning technical stuff like that.

I love your perspective!

Way back during pandemic, i started to hoard plants esp philodendrons and even upgraded to variegated ones. But then space is a problem with philos or monsteras. So i started to shift on Anthoriums like Hookerii, jenmanii, superboom and other rounded leafer anthoriums… and i just love darker base

I would say that if you’re buying seeds - warning: not all seeds sprout. Some are just duds. Also, some of the plants that germinate from them are weak and would normally die in nature. I would never recommend paying too much for seeds.

From my understanding, most velvet type anthurium are from the ‘Cardiolonchium’ section of anthurium while Clarinervium was recently (past couple years) was placed in section ‘Andiphilum’ which include species like andicola, parvispathum, berriozabalense, lancetillense, leuconeurum, umbrosum, and pedatoradiatum!

Which brings up the topic of growers adding value to plants that are “cross-sectional” hybrids. These hybrids are very rare to occur because just the right combination of DNA from both plants has to come together. I’m not saying its impossible, but it is impossible to confirm unless you have thousands of dollars worth of genetic sequencing equipment.

Yesssss this kind of thing makes my lizard brain so happy thanks for this! I eventually want to look into the details of this more but haven’t gotten to it yet. Do you know if paleo botanists have figured out how long ago the lineages diverged? I’m super curious because depending on when they think they diverged, some really interesting things were going on biogeographically

@tarinstephens9225

@@PlantFriendDownTheStreet I haven’t come across any family trees that show the divergence, mostly because you need a fossil to calibrate the timeline. I’ve seen this some for plants in the catalpa family, but not for anthurium. What I do know is that anthurium most likely evolved from Potheae, or the true pothos family!

My guess is that either the mother plant is clarinervium that self pollinated or it’s a bench hybrid. Doesn’t mean the seller isn’t trustworthy. That happens all the time, even to the pros.
