Nice to see you! & with over an hour of content to watch about one of my favourite types of plants! I've fallen down the Anthurium rabbit hole pretty quickly in the last few months 😂
Hey Shelby! Glad to have you back. 😊 I hate to tell you this.... but there's more to come and probably gonna make it even worse of a rabbit-hole for you. 😉
Love your channel - really informative and your plants are amazing. Liking the move towards ‘being yourself’ more on camera! Watching from Ireland. Keep ‘em coming! 🌿
Thank you so much! Really appreciate the support! (also that anyone actually paid attention during that bit of the video is amazing, 😂 ). More to come soon!
Omg, anthurium heaven 😁😍 so much beauty in one place 😍 nice to see you back again and thx for sharing your gorgeous collection. Looking forward to a long houseplant tour 😁😎🙏
Hey Jazzy! Glad you enjoyed! 💚 I think I need to build up a little intestinal fortitude before I show off the whole collection... still a lot of stuff that needs rearranging, repotting, cleaning up and moving around before I feel like I can do that and not embarrass myself. 😉 Appreciate the motivation, though!
Glad you're back! Do you always keep your reservoir full, or do you let it go dry for awhile between each refill? I always keep mine wet despite Lechuza's instructions for a dry period, but am interested to know how other folks are handling their anthuriums in semi-hydro.
Hey Hart! I typically water on a loose schedule, so I don't pay a ton of attention to reservoirs unless they're bone dry. I'd say that the majority of the time, there's still a little left in the tank when I go to re-water, except for stuff at the _very_ top of my tent that happens to dry out first due to proximity to both light and ventilation. If stuff goes bone dry it's a bit of a race to beat dry-rot because depending on the plant you typically don't have a lot of wiggle room to make sure it gets watered again before it starts to suffer. Once bottom leaves start yellowing or you start seeing damage then you've definitely waited too long. Stuff with really thick roots (like, clarinervium-esque) likely will handle the drought period a little better, but I wouldn't go totally dry for longer than a day or two. And I'm *definitely* not on top of my watering well enough to be able to risk that, so I just do a biweekly-triweekly schedule for stuff in #semihydro, and usually around weekly for stuff that's in transitional media (moss, tree fern) if it's in open-air and not in an enclosed container.
Commenting before watching but I also have a mag x AoS (tezula dark form)!! Still a seedling but excited to see yours and some of the others in your collection!
I'm glad I'm not the only one that has KOS issues. It's surviving on two leaves and has aborted two new ones. That and my Besseae aff are the slowest growing ones in my collection!
Haha - I'm pretty sure I got the stink-eye from my buddy @rifaldinugroho8226 for telling people not to buy one if they're impatient, but hey, it's true! I don't know if it's the genetics of the specific plant I own, but I've seen others complain about it (while still loving the foliage!), and it's absolutely one of my slowest-growing Anthuriums, by a long shot. I will say that after finally moving it out of moss and into semi-hydro with proper nutrients (still on a heat mat, in open air, with slightly-improved lighting), it has performed quite a bit better. The left I showed you guys in this video finally popped, with a slight bit of mechanical damage, but it was larger than the other two leaves. So now we're a 3-leader. I'll keep you guys posted. 😉 Oh... and besseae aff. is a BEAST to keep happy. I killed my first one from Ecuagenera a couple of years back within 30 days of picking it up. This was before my grow tent, though. I just finally got another one from Amazonian Plants (📸 @amazonianplants.ec) and it came in with pretty weak roots and one half-orange (bacterial? 😂) leaf. Moving it to tree fern/perlite, tent warmth, and medium-high humidity. Still looks great and I hope I can rehab it, but I'm keeping my fingers and toes crossed. 🤞
I use End All extensively on my anthuriums, without damage. Not as good as systemic stuff for thrips (though it works), but it's the best I found against spider mites.
Hey Megan! I don't know what your Insta handle is, so just msg me here or post it here and I'm sure it'll work. I've had plenty of folks send me DMs who I didn't follow so it should be fine either way! Would love to compare pics of the plant!
Haha! I'm definitely going to need to sell a few, or I'm gonna have a problem preventing potential arson against my grow tent over here... 😂 Appreciate the comment and glad you enjoyed the video! And I've got a lot of crappy looking plants I'm saving to show you guys in the next video. 😉
Hey Dan - yeah, I'm still not 100% sure myself. I've seen the leuconeurum around online (never in person) as well, but the juvenile shape doesn't jive quite right with this plant, seems a little more narrow with longer, more well-defined lobes, but it's hard to tell at this stage. I've also had it suggested to me (just today, thanks Aida! 👋) that it might be what's being referred to as "Delta Faux" these days. At this point I think I'll have to see what it looks like when it starts hitting cataphyll stage and giving me some more mature leaves, then I'll show you guys and we can figure it out together. 😉
Yes! It does, but it's a real pain in the ass to use with a large collection. Spraying individual plants 1-3x to get rid of an outbreak is no fun at all. Get the concentrate, it's about $15 CAD and it's 50ml/1L of water so you get 20 uses out of it if you have a 1L spray bottle. In ~3.5 years of using it I'm only on my 2nd bottle of concentrate and I use it pretty liberally. However... it burns new leaves. Don't use it on anything not hardened off. TBH I'd much prefer to use a systemic with semi-hydro, where I can just water it in once a month, but it's not easy to get your hands on (although I found a way... just waiting to pick some up from my "dealer" 😈) . For now, I alternate the Safer's and my beneficials from Growliv (www.growliv.com) in between every 6 weeks or so. Systemics would be way cheaper, but this is how us Canadians roll. 🤷♂️
Do you have any experience of or views about A. nigrolaminum? I ask as I’m waiting for a Gigi delivery. I don’t see many people talking about it. Just in case you’ve any wisdom to share there 😊
Hey there! Thanks for watching - I do have an A. nigrolaminum "Gigi" that I got from Ecuagenera about a 1.5-2 years back. I've never shown it on the channel because I honestly haven't paid it too much attention... it's still in moss and sitting waaay on the bottom shelf of my grow tent in pretty low light, in the coolest part of the tent. It's put new growth, but it's also dropped a couple of leaves, so that's about break-even. I've seen several nigrolaminum hybrids floating around lately, so anecdotally it seems to be a pretty decent hybridizer. The plants you get from Ecuagenera (assuming you got yours there, or from Tropicals/Amazonian) are generally pretty large, so I'd say the toughest challenge will just be acclimating it. And compared to other imports it should be pretty easy-going. Mine didn't give too much trouble even with all the neglect and the tiny container - it's a pretty thick, leathery and shiny leaf, so it should stand up to quite a bit before it starts freaking out. You've inspired me to pull it out of there and give it a glow-up, though. I think it's probably ultra rootbound in there and it would be a good idea to move it into pon and give it a better life. 😉

Love it! Did you get yours from Sowyma too?
Mine is from “aroids only” in Markham, ON!! :) but I’ve heard of Sowmya!!
I'm glad I'm not the only one that has KOS issues. It's surviving on two leaves and has aborted two new ones. That and my Besseae aff are the slowest growing ones in my collection!

Sooo glad you did a new video esp over Anthuriums!!! Your pterodactyl looks just like mine also!!😊
Thanks Megan! Hopefully it actually *is* a pterodactyl. 😂 Guess we'll find out in a few months!
@@theproppist I will send you pics to your instagram
Jk it won’t let me I guess til you follow me back

If you ever get tires of your anthuriums im here lol. On a serious note your plants look amazing. Keep up the good work.

cool shirt !
Maybe it’s not Pterodactyl, but Leuconeurum? I have one and your plant gives me strong leuconeurum vibes

So you can confirm Safers will kill thrips? Good to know, as a fellow Canadian, i know all too well we cant get the heavy duty stuff lol
Yes! It does, but it's a real pain in the ass to use with a large collection. Spraying individual plants 1-3x to get rid of an outbreak is no fun at all.

@@theproppistthe amount of times I’ve heard Canadians lament over the lack of systemic options makes me feel like I still want to move to Canada 🍁 🇺🇸
