- G'day, mate! In today's video, I put 50+ Anthurium seeds into perlite prop boxes in order to germinate them and grow them out. They're all Anthurium hybrids including:
- Anthurium luxurians x crystallinum x papillilaminum
- Anthurium forgetii x
- Anthurium hoffmannii x
- Anthurium Dark Knight

I'm still a total noob when it comes to growing out Anthuriums, so please leave any advice in the comments below. I'm hoping to get a few mother plants out of this batch that I can then use to make hybrids in the future. Hopefully these guys grow fast and push out inflorescences quickly!
I have one rule.. no Anthuriums.. cause if I started I would need another house, Philodendron, Syngonium and Monstera are getting me into enough trouble as it is 🤣🤣🤣
Hahaha sounds like a good one
I got rid of almost all except a Gloriosum, Florida ghost, melano, verrucosum, an alocasia Jaclyn, cuprea, and azlanaii. The rest of my jungle? Anthuriums. Is a dangerous road to go on, once you start with one, you just can’t stop.
Bro this is about to be an interesting journey! Multiple seeds of same hybrids makes for cool updates and good cultivation once you make your own. BTW I find that hybrid seedlings arent too picky about starting media.
Yeah, that's what I'm hoping hehe and glad they're not picky
It’s gonna be so much fun watching these babies grow 💚 🎄🎄🎄
Hehe wish me luck :D
@@petevsplants7516 Fingers crossed, an Good Luck!! 🍀 Hope you give reg updates, have 1 Ace of Spades X Mag my first seed an it’s slowwww. Lol
I have found moss works a treat for seeds. Good luck, looking forward to the updates.
Cheers, Natasha :) I might try it in the future.
Looking forward to see how the seedlings get on 👍
Cheers, Kathy! Hopefully I don't slaughter them all ahaha
The Papilliaminum is one of my favorite anthurium it will be interesting to see their progress.
Yeah, that and the luxurians... damn!
@petevsplants7516 Indeed. The Luxurians is a stunner!
You're going to be the death of my plant budget Pete I swore never to get into Anthurium and here I am googling seeds.
Nothing makes you feel quite as old as when the music you listened to in high school is referred to as classic on the radio. Someone fetch this old lady a cane. Now that my kids are teens I find bonding with them over our music has been fun though so lots more Taylor Swift in my playlist these days LOL.
Hope your new babies grow well mate.
Haha thanks mate :D sorry for being a bad influence. Also, you're welcome.
Can’t believe I’ve only just discovered your channel!
Hehe hope you're enjoying it mate :D
I love watching the babies grow.
So you admit the addiction
Hahah that's the first step, right? Admitting you have a problem.
I can't wait to get into anthurium. I have to wait. It's a post-relocation project. I just don't have the room. I'd like a dedicated cabinet for them ideally.
I have recently made space to start some seeds I already have and will be getting those going once I've restocked my media supplies.
I've got some cactus, ponytail palm, and coffee seeds I've been hanging to start since September. I can't wait!
I'm actually getting the cactus sorted today. Only 20 seeds of mammillaria boscana, but still exciting. My first attempt at cactus seed germing. 😁
I love germinating and growing things from seed. There's not just the feeling of "I did that" but I love watching plants develop and go through all their stages of development.
At a guess, with my little bit of experience with plant breeders) the 3 way cross is a lux x (chry x pap). The more experienced breeders I've met tend to use parenthesis.There needs to be an "industry standard" as it were.
I like to know, just out of general curiosity, which plant was the pollen donor and which one bore the seeds. I don't know if that matters in plant breeding, I'm just curious about everything really.
When you stop learning, you start dying.
I've a strong love hate relationship with perlite. Love it for the plants but it can be a mongrel to clean up, and I can't stand the touch of it. My brain balks at the sensation.
Macaulay Culkin is 42 fwiw. Same age as me, gods I feel old! He was definely looking a lot older at one stage. I think he's got his shit together again now. Not an uncommon tragectary for child actors. Linsay Lohan is another example.
Oh. Nostolgia. It is pobably why we have Disney and Harry Potter adults. It's why I still love the Labyrinth and The Princess Bride. Memories of good times.
Love the random tangents. My brain is the same. It just meanders when I'm doing plant or house chores and some of the most random things come to mind.
You character and way of being makes me chuckle and adds value to my day. Thank you.
I can't forget. Hello Peaches and kitty passing through in the background. She looks like a calico. Love them. Moodiest moggies tho I reckon. My neighbour's in a calico and she is a very moody girl. She does not like my boy and lets the whole neighbourhood know! 😂 My favourite cat in the semi-feral resident clowder when I lived off-grid was a calico. She hated everyone and would cut you with you touched her. When I left, she'd gotten to the stage of coming and seeking attention. I wanted to bring her with me but couldn't for many reasons. I miss her.
I usually just use pure vermiculite in take away container. Sometimes I dust some peat moss for more surface area. As much as its fun growing Anthurium seeds, I find myself quickly running outta space to grow them (be warned! Haha) so now I tend to buy a single established sp. or hybrid for my collection
Haha I was wondering when / if that becomes a problem. Guess I'll try selling them off or just kill the ones I don't want (I probably shouldn't say that... but who's lying lol)
@@petevsplants7516 give it 1 or 2 years time and we shall find out! haha my grow tent plants were mostly seed grown. From cute little take away containers and wham 4ft x 4ft grow tent haha
:D I'll keep you posted haha
Good vid as always. Feels like calling a buddy and chopping it up. What are ya doing today? Nothing heavy mate, using some old food containers to pot up some new seeds. Cool, I’m about to check the roots on some of my cuttings myself.
While you’re telling your stories, I’m saying stuff like “I know, you should check the ‘died at 27 club’, crazy”.
Good luck with those seeds! Staying away from Anthuriums. Got enough Pokémon I got to catch with what I have. Those giant dark leaves are stunning though!
Haha awesome. That's the idea with the content really. It's the kind I like watching :)
I bought a few months ago 2 Anthurium Pappi X seeds and i actually have 2 seedlings now, it was so fun to see them grow from a germinated seed.
One is growing a lot faster that the other one and i was able to transfer it from moss to an aroid mix, i imagine that they might even end up looking different.
I bought some more anthurium seeds a few weeks ago and until now, they didn't die :D I can't wait to see them all grow !
oh nice! Good luck :D
Where do you find seeds from? I have been looking to buy and find any selling them?
@@stephaniegentry7397 I live in Germany and i buy them from Downtown Plant Club (located in Holland). I didn't try other places because this shop sends germinated seeds, sometimes with a tiny leaf or two and until now i didn't loose any.
I’ve only been growing velvet anthuriums for a year now but its pretty much all I grow besides Hoyas. Here’s some tips that I’ve learned from my experiences with seeds- moss is definitely easier in my opinion. I have tried perlite and pon… you will absolutely destroy the roots if you allow the substrate to dry out. My favorite is putting them in a pot with chunky mix and putting them in a clear box. They’ll stay in the pot for months and you don’t run the risk of transplant shock. Also, unlike other aroids anthuriums need cool temperatures. I don’t recommend anything over 80F. They definitely will not tolerate tons of light, basically give it as much light as you would a gloriosum but never as much as you would a Thai con. Start feeding early and cal-mag is a must. Lastly, do not let them dry out!
Thanks mate. Yeah... I've dried my Queen out a few times I think as the leaves are browning off :(
Oh yeah, I've been sucked in by the anthurium seeds obsession! I have quite a few little boxes with little salad leaves in them 🤣 I find they propagate super easily, but getting them to grow on and size up is the tricky bit. Some are doing super well, but my precious precious little variegated ones of course are still just one tiny leaf! Gah!
January 9th is on the calander because the Pallidoflorum seeds I bought will be on their way!!!
The knowledgeable woman who does Shoots Galore (she's an incredible grower!) advised me to start them in seed starting mix - so I do that and I add in a heap of perlite and actually add some compost to the mix. I suspect they need feeding quite soon and that's why they slow down...hm...
But that works super well. Always on heat mats or in boxes on heat mats.
I've also had luck with a layer of composty aroid mix with a thin layer of moss. so they germinate in the moss then grow down into the aroid mix for nutrients.
So is actually use a pair of tweezers to get them off the paper towel, and just rip a bit off with the root attached to it, all good, it'll just compost away lol!
Would you use heat mats even in summer like this though? I feel like they'd get cooked.
@@petevsplants7516 Oh good point, I turn them off when the room temp gets to about 20 plus. I've been using them overnight still though, depends on how cool it gets overnight!
I did this recently too with freshly germinated anthurium seeds. Pelite with a reservoir, sealed container to trap humidity and put it somewhere bright and warm. I also heard that once the first real looking leaf emerges you should start feeding. I do perlite since I grow exclusively in semi-hydro
Ah cool! Hopefully this works well then :D
I wish i live close to you (or at least live in the same country). You seems very nice of a guy and very passionate about this hobby. I would love to feed your new anthurium "addiction" by giving you every cuttings of my anthurium collection lol. I started my obsession with anthurium pretty early on my plant hobby journey... I think at some point i only bought anthuriums and brushed off every other plants. But now I think I'm over it, I'm content with my collection. In fact I've been on no-buy for 5-6 months now.
You're too kind, mate :) Where're you from?
I love Heath Ledger. Brokeback Mountain was my favourite, but his Joker actually convinced me that acting was an art.
I like anthuriums as well, though I only own a clarinervium
Yeah, he absolutely crushed the Joker. That was when I realised just how good he was. Tragically he died before the release of that film :( such a bummer
I'm so jealous and I'm so happy for you
Haha thanks Ash :P Hoping you can get your hands on some too!
You are so funny .I love it!
haha thanks mate :D
Antheriums are my FAVVVVV! I bought a Queen a few months ago and it's my FAVORITE in my collection. When I got my veitchii it was about the size you bought...and its sized up significantly...I can't wait for those plant abs!
Oh nice! How big is the veitchii now?
@@petevsplants7516 it's still small but the leaf size jumped from an inch to 3 inches!
What works best for me is fluval stratum (volcano mineral substrate). Easy to handle and great for growing Anthuriums almost forever 🤣
Just make sure to keep it nicely moist (best is prop box or little container) 👍🏼
Good luck! 🙏🏼
I would say you can germinate the seeds by putting them on a paper towel and then you can put the paper towel directly on the perlite in a prop box, I think that way you don't have to transfer them and just let them be there to do their thing. and if you're afraid that paper towel might be too rough for their roots once they grow out a bit then thin tissue paper would be great too. I did the tissue paper and perlite thing with mung beans in science class back in primary school and it worked beautifully.
Oh very clever. Haven't heard of that method before!
The magic bullet is the heat mat!
During winter or just in general?
Anytime I propagate, I use the prop box , put it on a heat mat (Amazon purchase) and keep it there until I get good roots. It really makes the difference.
Yeah, I had been using them in winter with good results, but once we got to spring, the moss in the prop boxes was drying out because of the warmth and the roots weren't growing into those areas and weren't doing as well as unheated boxes. So, I think there must be a nice goldie locks zone there temp wise.
Me too… I have been obsessed with buying seeds the past few months!
I been growing in tree fern fibre.
Oh nice! Where are you purchasing the fern fibre from?
@@petevsplants7516 I ordered it from Orchid Den online. There aren’t other stockists in Australia.
Oh I feel you I’m in an anthurium grave. I want those dark leaves 😂
Haha yeah... pretty much! Which one's your fav currently? What do I need on my wish list? haha
@@petevsplants7516 luxurians for sure it’s gorgeous when mature. Also I’m in love with red crystallinum it’s a young plant but can’t wait to see it grow. King of spades x red crystallinum is a great combination too. I seen a lot of papillilaminum used to cross pollinate same with luxurians. Wish list Carlablackiae, anthurium Dr.Block F2, Anthurium Michelle x Zara, Anthurium Sp Silver Peru.
There is just so many possibilities with anthurium 💚
Wow, amazing suggestions thanks :D
I have some seedlings of Anthurium vittarifolium in sphagnum but waiting for the berries to get rip on a clarinervium. I would like to see your results with the perlite , maybe I'll do it with perlite as well. I have also seen people do a layer of perlite in the bottom and moss on top. Great price you had for those seeds
Awesome work :D
I only accept free anthuriums, that's my rule 🤣🤣🤣🌿🌿 and in Melbourne, they are hard to keep alive as I don't have any setup, grow tent, humidifier and all that. They are alive, but don't thrive 😆 good luck Pete 😅
Hehe yeah... I may've also sorted out a Milsbo cabinet :D
🐸🧦
The only tip I can offer when starting seeds of any kind is... patience. 🙃🙃
also when is the update video... I can't wait!🤣
Haha on the seedlings? Lol give it a few months... :D
It looked like you were using a coarse pearlite. I’ve found that a finer grade makes it a bit easier and the chunks don’t weigh the delicate roots down when removing them.
And still liking Led Zeppelin!
Hehe will give it a go :D
Hows the antherium 'seedings' now?? Im about to process some seeds soon. Looking for pointers great video!
I think the first parent listed is usually the parent plant & the cross is the pollen parent. Usually! I believe that is how it is supposed to be done anyway. So, I would say your Lux x Crys is the mother & the pollen parent is the Pap. That would be my guess if they did it correct!
I must say I don't know much. I just believe that is how i have heard people say it is supposed to be done! Don't take me at 100 but, I believe that is correct!
Ah okay, thanks, mate. I'll have to keep learning and hopefully work it out soon too haha still a total noob.
@@petevsplants7516 me too! I’m still a noob too!! I could be totally wrong!
I got an anthurium forgetii seedling ages ago and tbh it just hates me? But I am getting a humidifier for christmas and I'm very excited to see if that helps!
Ah bugger. What's your ambient humidity?
@@petevsplants7516 not much plus winter in Denmark and also I had to leave it with my grandmother while I am home in Ireland for christmas. We are hoping for.the best esp that it was -5 when I moved it 😅 but it might also just like her house more!
How long did you have the seeds in paper towel and ziplock?
Hello! Where do you guys buy your seeds from?
Do you watch Hakunalaplanta ? Kevin's always propagating strawberry shakes
I know... he's been propping those for the last 2 years. It's insane how many he has and the size of them
Just wait until you get the Hoya Bug!
Lol don't do it, Jess... one thing at a time
Where do you buy the seeds ?
Can you suggest to me the place from where I can buy seeds? Thank you
Hey mate, I get mine from eBay and Facebook groups / marketplace.
How is Peaches doing? Has she settled in?
Yeah, total ratbag now. Made herself at home.
Where do you buy seeds from? Any recommendations? Would love to buy some. I can't seem to find them anywhere.
Hey Steph, where are you located? If you're in Aus, eBay and Facebook groups are great places to find them. Also, FB Marketplace.
I am in USA and I have been looking for months so hard to find. And looked up places online and no one ships to USA.
Where did you buy the seeds from. I'm really tempted to try this out too.
Hey mate, if you're in Aus, check out the rare plant Facebook groups or eBay as you usually find great deals on there.
@@petevsplants7516 damn im in the US maybe I'll look at specific anthurium groups. I was mostly just into Philos but I would love to be able to try and grow some aroids from seed. Plus anthurium are pretty dope.
@@skaterofboards I think you'd have equivalent US-based FB groups that you could join where people are selling rare plants and anthurium seeds in particular. Good luck!
oh god. the seedling rabbit hole is dangerous "oh its only $30 itll grow big" and then you spend $300 on a lot of them and they take forever to get big lol
lol yeah fair call...
Are you putting those babies on a heating mat?
Nah, it's pretty warm at the moment so I think they'd get cooked if I did that. It's 27C today.
@@petevsplants7516 we are below zero where I’m at 🥶
I always thought you just ate a lot of Chinese food😂
Lol There may be that too
Where did you get the seeds?
Hey mate. FB groups and ebay :)
I know this is an older video but… I’m assuming you live in Australia? I’ve just bought some seedling anthuriums in nz that were forgetii x x unknown and the picture of the mother plant was that exact same picture.. 😮 so either my dude is lying and stole the picture from your person.. or both our sellers or lying 🤔 I reverse image searched the photo before I purchased and it didn’t come up with anything so I thought I was safe but you can imagine my shock to see the image pop up on a RUclips video I’m watching!!
Wow, weird one... No idea... But yeah, I'm in Australia. I think it's pretty common that dodgy people will just google images and use those for plants their selling and not actually show the real thing, so you just have to be careful.
You should have put 10 into soil and see how they did.
Tree fern soil
Where did you get it ? Hook me up please 🙏
Hey mate, it was from a local seller in Aus. Not sure they can export to Canada.
I'm in the us,will you send me ONE PLEASE, I AM A BIG FAN.
Haha I wish I could. Exporting from Aus is nearly as difficult as importing.
