Welcome! In my experience they can be slow growers and slow to root. If you could be more specific with your exact struggles I might be able to help. I also just put out a video on the fascinating discovery of carla that you should definitely check out. It’s my latest video!

@ yes I watched it. I loved it. So cool that you got to speak to Miss Carla Black herself. She’s a queen! I find them to be rotting on me really easily. I usually put all my anthurium in perlite then transfer to pon. I never had a failure doing this until I met Carla. lol. I have 3. two had rot and no new roots and the other is growing new roots doing really well. I did suddenly add nutrients and didn’t slowly introduce them so I wonder if that had something to do with it?

Maybe try sphagnum moss or tree fern, I use that or a homemade aroid mix where I add a little of whatever I have on hand like charcoal, pumice, small bark, things to loosen it up, but probably half of it is tree fern and moss. My Carla got root rot when it flowered on me and i almost lost it after growing it for a year. I rerooted it in moss and now it’s finally putting out big leaves and flowers, though it still needs time to bush out and look pretty. I find it doesn’t need a lot of light. Kind of light a dressleri or pap. I grow in vases and keep mine moist all the time. I don’t worry about humidity. And I don’t fertilize a plant while it’s rerooting. If I’m rehabbing an anthurium that has a bad root system I tend to blast them with light to the point where they get just a bit bleached on the leaves. I don’t care about looks, I want them to capture as much energy as possible and grow out that root system as quickly as possible. Once they have secured a good root system and have put out a healthy leaf or 2, then I feel comfortable chopping off ugly old leaves and putting it in a more medium light setting.

That’s a bonus!!!

so is your foot

I have no interest in becoming a botanist. I just love growing plants and exploring nature.

@ Ah I think you mentioned that before in a video

I much prefer making UA-cam videos and music:)

Thank you so much for saying that. I appreciate it so much.🙏I’m hoping to hit 10k before I go to Colombia in March 🤞

@plantgayforlife your most welcome babe I felt I needed to give back for giving me so much . I just can't listen to one more message about politics which I have followed always but in the past almost 10 years has made me physically sick. It can be addictive and you are here to give me positive information I'm much more interested in you have come along for the health of many . Don't know what else to say . Your videos are a treasure.

@@plantgayforlife ❤️🌈

I’m glad you’re here🫶

I hear you, I too would love to grow that one but I can’t personally pay that much for a plant.

I love drama🎻

This was a while ago so I can’t remember, but it ended up not doing well in that setup long term so I wouldn’t have recommended it anyway 😅

I'm glad you like these videos😊

Thanks for watching!

We’ll see what happens with mine

My pleasure!

Thank you!!🥰

Some may be, especially those with foul smelling inflos, but according to Tom Croat Anthuriums are primarily pollinated by Euglossa. That being said, there’s been very little observation of this, and even some botanists have claimed to see hummingbirds and moths visit anthurium inflos. So it’s probably a community of pollinators.

@ Ah ok. Thanks for the information

I appreciate that!

Glad you enjoy them! I enjoy making them😁

Thank you! Carla really elevated this one with her storytelling (much of what I said was her exact words).

Thank you! 😁

Appreciate it😊I still can’t get over the fact that my videos reach people so far away! I know the internet ain’t new…but still 😅🙏

Plants are resilient and so are the people who discover and collect them in the wild!

My Carla refuses to extend her stem so I can propagate her and make more!😂

Much appreciated! These videos usually take only a few days to a week to make. But this video has been months in the making cuz I wanted it to be perfect.

@plantgayforlife it's very thorough, and all the footage was fun to watch! You really have a skill set here. And growing plants, of course.

Costa Rica is on my list of places to travel to see aroids! Where in the country do you live? Have you gone on any hikes and seen any cool plants??

@ I live in a wonderful place Turrialba, close to a volcano area y lots of mountain area, summer rayne did a a video in “el catie” if I’m not mistaken, love leaving here ! Lots of orchids and aracea in general growing everywhere!

I’ll look into that area to see what I can potentially find! I definitely wanna see Anthurium scherzerianum when I go to Costa Rica😍

Thanks for watching!

It’s amazing how much you can unpack in a name😃

Nice! Sounds like a plan😎🌱

We were trying to be discreet and quiet just in case it was private property, there was a house not too far off, vests might’ve given us away😅

Yes! There’s so much to appreciate!😁

In my opinion, you don’t need to worry about the NPK ratio for aroids unless you are trying to grow them really big and breed with them. If you’re growing them as ornamental houseplants then they are not very fussy about their fertilizer in my experience.

You have the right mindset. Anyone who clout chases plants ends up crashing, so you gotta grow what you love and love what you grow😌

The podcast would have to be HEAVILY edited. Because these 10 minute doc videos are actually just the good takes out of 30-60 minutes of me clearing my throat, messing up then proceeding to say FUCK, cussing at my noisy neighbors, and swatting away the occasional gnat.😂

Glad you found one!

I’m so glad she had photos to share!

We love a good plant adventure!
