Lethius your collection is stunning. I hope to see you do a re-pot. I’ve never been able to grow a Queen even in my tropical conditions so my hat’s off to you! I cannot wait to see you grow out the delta force, that is such an incredibly beautiful anthurium 🖤🌸
Is so cool to hear about people growing plants in no tropical countries! I say it because I live in Costa Rica and it is hard for me sometimes to grow certain anthuriums! I can't even imagine he how hard It might be in places like UK! Buddy you have amazing plants!
your one of the only people I see on plantube that i see with a peltigerum, am I wrong? i have one too and i really like how your last leaf grew flatter and shows that pinching near the veins that always reminds me if pigs ears haha. i was so surprised to see it up close finally and it was more velvet and sheen than it looks glossy texture in videos
Hi Lethius! Love your enthusiasm. Infectious. Starting to think about the autumn with some of the anthuriums mainly. My Waroqueanum (which I purchased this year) has been growing in full sun in the window of my bathroom. I don’t use grow tents of any type as I believe and have proven, if the plant is young especially, it will adapt to ‘houseplant’ conditions. The Waroqueanum lost all its leaves that it had when I bought it (there were only three and pretty tatty) and has grown two much larger perfect leaves and is looking damn hot! I nicked your bottle idea and adapted it and the root growth has been incredible. It has adapted to my conditions and is progressing nicely. The only thing now is the bathroom can get quite cool in the winter. Although it’s heated it’s on the end corner of the house and seems to leech out heat. So my dilemma is do I leave the plant where it is or move it or will it continue to adapt? I can move it with the other anthuriums but this will entail lower light levels and another change in conditions. It’s a hard one. But the point of all this is a lot of info on the internet is sensationalist and just wrong. I’ve worked in horticulture for 35 years with tropical, garden and crop plants. I’m retired now. We used to call all this ‘info’:parroting. Where a common set of rules and advice repeated and cut and pasted by enough people, many of whom have know real experience at all, is taken as the truth. As fact. I’m fully aware these plants can be expensive so taking risks with cultivation is understandably a bit unnerving but the common idea that all these plants are super sensitive and difficult is just nonsense. Some are! Most aren’t. I watch many and follow many UA-cam tropical growers and I’m fascinated by the common misconceptions that are banded around. I follow one young very popular girl on here who continuously chops up her plants and starts them off again in grow tents each time the plant seems to be reacting and then claims the plant is difficult and sensitive. Well not really….. that just proves the plant is much tougher than they are giving it any credit. The whole point here is I strongly believe that trying to reproduce a Brazilian rainforest in your house is setting yourself up to fail. This is the UK not South America. Plants are tough. They will adapt. Really looking forward to your red spider vlog. I’m interested in your findings. All the best. 👍🏻👍🏻

The Queen anthurium is amazing! Mine is a bit younger and its latest leaf is about 10 cm!
