i really thought i couldn't grow anthurium without ultra high humidity until i saw your first vid on no drainage glass container. it definitely was a total game changer for me, major confidence boost and a new perspective on everything soil/substrat related. now i have five gorgeous and thriving anthuriums, thanks to you. they are literally the most chill plants for me, so obsessed with them. love your content 🌱💕
Instant follow for not saying "bright indirect light" like everyone says for every plant!! Drives me batty. "Bright shade, dappled sunlight is SO much more specific, thank you!
Thanks for the follow! Most houseplants are shade growing tropical plants. That’s why so many common houseplants are given the “bright indirect light” instruction. But most ppl’s homes are still wayyyy too dark and that causes plants to slowly die. Basically if you are walking a trail in the woods on a sunny day, the light hitting the ground is “bright indirect light.” Little to no direct sun, but rather bright shade. That’s similar to the light these plants get growing under the rainforest canopy😁
@@plantgayforlife exactly!! I always had easy plants and switched to harder ones and just learned that it's too dark inside! I will search for info about a plant and I really want to know how much light it absolutely needs and how much (direct sun or darkness) it can tolerate. Thanks for tips. Looking forward to watching more 🙌🏿
I have quite a number of anthuriums; they are mostly living in my cabinet as they seem to thrive in humidity. I planted my anthuriums in my own chunky potting mix. It’s interesting that you explained certain leafs type require certain watering.
I used to have them all in cabinets and grow tents as well. But as I curated my collection, the ones I kept got too big and had to be moved out. I even have one anthurium that's become a 3 foot tall floor plant! That's when I realized watering and humidity around the roots was more important, and now most of my anthuriums don't flinch when the humidity drops below 30% in the winter!
Thank you very much for this video. I've never heard of anyone explaining what plant need according to it's shape, colour and texture. It's fascinating. Really informative video. Thank you very much.
I love how comprehensive and informative this is. The way you break it down to leaf and root type is exactly what I needed. I have a baby clarinervium on the way and I already have so many glass vessels/vases, moss, leca, etc so I’ll definitely be trying the no drainage method. Thank you so much! ❤
I’m in LOVE with Anthurium and have started collecting them over the past 6 months..this was very helpful..you are adorable btw..Love your personality!
This is one of the most helpful plant videos I've ever seen. I'm in the beginning of my Anthurium journey and you make it so much less daunting. Looking fwd to more videos. Thank you!
You knocked this out the park! Best anthurium care video I've seen and I've seen a bunch! I luv luv anthuriums, can't get enough of'em but I'm floridian where the care is much easier for me here.
THANK You SO MUCH ! Just in time…. am just trying Anthurium after longtime admiration. The presentation of the information was so clear, simple, concise…. Ach! Hats off!
Fantastic video, super informative, and easy to take in. My Anthuriums don't love me as much as my alocasias, so I thought I'd do a bit more research. Will deff check out more of your videos.
Okay Jake,! Thank you. I will let the anthuriums be themselves as they will be, just as I have my other - “familiar” plants.. ( The Anthuriums have seemed SO daunting!). Now, that it is pretty clear I am not killing them, it is time to get to know them…!
I said it before and ill say it again i love ur videos. its comforting. its like those segments between Arthur where they take a break to show some kids n doing some experiments and then cut back to the show
Fantastic summary of all things Anthurium-care related! I have fears over the no drainage holes thing. I am still trying to figure out how to increase airflow to the roots without drying them out. This video is giving me a bit more confidence to try a new substrate/method for my little velvety friends. They are growing, but not thriving. I am headed right over to your "Why NONE of my pots have drainage holes" video right now to learn more!
Thank you, that was really helpful info! I am a beginner to Anthuriums and I am starting with a King Veitchii Anthurium and a Anthurium Dorayaki x Crystallinum, had them for a couple months and they are doing well. I also just purchased a tiny Anthurium Magnificum x Luxurians. Wish me luck and TY again.
Thanks for the tips, I consider myself an intermediate gardener but I've struggled so much with my Anthurium and Alocasia (literally all dead or dormant at the moment) that I gave up on them completely. Last week, I bought some Pon and self-watering pots on a whim and I think I'll try to save them... especially since I just got myself an Anthurium pedatoradiatum for $10 in the clearance section! I just love this one and would love to see it mature instead of dropping its only remaining leaf. I've always wanted to hybridize it with a super dark velvet-leaf type Anthurium too!
I recently got my wishlist plant which is a Splendid and I want to make sure Im taking the best care of it possible so it can thrive and this was such a relaxed but super informational video!
Love this vid! I’m new to anthuriums and just purchased some pretty high end plants. I love the substrate and clear jars you use gonna try that. Thank you 💚
Thank you so much I’ve started buying anthuriums like I’m a pro and they are not cheap now that I spent a small fortune I realized idk anything about them so now I’m freaking out. But your video has just made me feel so much better thanks I will be in touch
@@Strawbrymuffin003 you got it, water just before the media has a chance to start drying out and dehydrating the roots. You’ll find that some aroids with thicker roots can handle drying out more than others
Indeed I meet someone with my favorite flower plant I tried to get a variety of blooms but don't çomplete as yet I hope u continue to keep up the good work interesting love always
This has been more informative than I could ask for! Grateful you gave info that can be applied to other aroids. I've got a lil anthurium hookeri and can't wait to try others
I think I just found my new fave plant RUclipsr.. thank you for this! I recently got my anthurium wishlist plants but they are making me nervous as they were imported by someone else and look a little rough. I'm hoping to make them beautiful again. They were heavily discounted so if I fail it's not going to hurt as bad but I like a challenge. Thanks for this vid!!
Beginner anthurium parent here! Thanks for this video! So educational. My first was a Clarenervium (currently in LECA and doing nothing) and today I bought a Forgetii (currently in nutrient water). Need to figure out what substrate I want to use for her.
Your voice is so soothing 😂❤ I got one of the most common anthurium on the nearly Dead discount shelf at lowe's, and I'm realizing that I have put probably all of my arrowheads in way too big of pots.... 😅 Time to repot back to a smaller pot size
Hi Ben, thank you for your input on growing Anthurium's. I had given up on them as I killed so many variates. Then I took a tray filled it with leca and water and placed the Anthurium pots on it. And I have got the best result ever. Though I wasn't aware about how airy the soil mix should be but I really liked the detailed yet simple explanation. I think I will have to remove the one's in the terracotta pot. Lol.
@@plantgayforlife omg. So sorry. My bad. I don't know why I thought you said Ben. Yes Jake, semi hyro actually is a great way to grow so many different varieties of plants. Thank you again on for thjs video
@Plant Gay For Life hahahaha. Yes. I heard it in the end only. 😁 After watching this video of yours, I ended up booking an Anthurium Regale (now I am fretting if I will be able keep that alive) I will revisit your video again and again 😄😄
I only have 2 right now a superbum and vittarifolium. So far so good. Tried a clarinervium last year and it died in 3 months. Looking forward to trying a couple more this season.
This video was definitely make for me lol, i have over 100 plants in my apartment and NONE are anthuriums lol I've always been so sacred of having them, but have recently been thinking that I maybe ready.
Glad I found you! I have just started my Anthuriums adventure starting with Palidiforium, Magnificum and Queen. I use all terracotta pots and am thinking as long as I keep the substrate moist it should be fine, but you scared me about the roots. I have some nice plastic clear pots coming, I guess I’ll switch to those instead. 😢
Anthuriums are great and not difficult once you understand their needs! That being said…terracotta can work against you in a household environment. The dry air (compared to, say, a greenhouse) will dehydrate the substrate much faster. I know someone who grows anthuriums VERY well in terracotta but he waters them every other day. The vase/no drainage-hole method I use allows me more time in between waterings so that I’m not constantly watering plants. I can leave for a week and return, and my plants will not be dehydrated. Anthuriums are not like philodendrons, most of them require consistent moisture and will not grow well if they dry out in between waterings too often.
@@plantgayforlife your friend sounds like me. I don’t think more than 3 days go by before watering. Right now I don’t mind that as my schedule allows for it. I like doting over my plants. 😊 Thank you so much for your reply!!!
I only have a anthurium luxurians and she is thriving all due to your leca sphagnum recommendation! So ty for that! Great content and video as always. Also hello from the NYC plant group
This is gold for someone like me buying anthuriums first time in my life (and I bought 4 of them to start with lol) and quickly jumping onto youtube for some guidance. Quick q though: Does a combination of lecca+perlite+Pon+spagmoss work for anthuriums?
Thank you very much I think my Anthurium plant has a root rot problem because of water my leaves are turning brown and I don't know what to do but after watching your video I presume that it may be root rot problem.
Hello 👋 I just bought a small Veitchii. I will be transitioning it to leca because I put most plants in that substrate. Can I ask how I would mimic the sphagnum moss mound on the base. Should a plant it with the base snuggle under the leca and then when it grows add a pot extender and add more leca? What do you think? This is my first Anthurium. I live in Melbourne Australia.
I'm currently growing my first anthurium from seed (Pedatoradiatum) so this will be invaluable for the time to come even though I'm growing one of the terrestrial varieties, I'll be sure to put my little one in a glass container so I can monitor his root development and humidity, it was one of those things that bothered me and wasn't able to figure out. It does make sense though.
@@plantgayforlife So a little update, Everything went great and then the little fucker started dying on me, apparently they do not like to have water ON the leaf..... such a diva. Got it fixed though and the second I got things right he pushed out his 4th leaf (yes he's a he don't ask me why he just is), kinda surprised cause its the first leaf that looks 'velvetty' and easily 8x times the size of the first couple of leaves. Looks like I'm finally doing things right! Being emboldened by my 'succes' I ordered more seeds.... crystalinum, gloriosum and waroqueanum are now happily growing next to their big brother in their tiny drainage hole free transparent plastic cups and they are thriving! Can' t wait for them to put on some size.
@@theroyalpotato8390 that's exciting news! im happy to hear you haven't been discouraged by your seedling's setback. it still happens to me sometimes so you're doing nothing wrong! thanks for sharing the update!
If there’s one leaf, leave it on until it falls off on its own. A green stem can still grow roots and a new growth point if you keep it in water and keep the light bright.
I have found not using soil in my mix causes them to dry too quickly, at least in my environment. I use the same mix as I do for my other aroids, and they seem pretty happy.
I’ve only ever had “grocery store” anthuriums - you know the ones, they have the bright red flower they last a long time. I didn’t realize there are so many different kinds of anthuriums. I think I’d like to try growing one that has velvety leaves. Can you tell me one that would be suitable for someone who is a) intermediate plant person, but b) anthurium beginner? Thanks!!
I'm currently not growing any anthuriums but it is my 2023 plant goal to get one! I really appreciated your video. Which one do you think would be a good 'beginner' anthurium? Thanks!
It honestly depends on what catches your eye since there's such a variety! Two visually contrasting species I would suggest are clarinervium (thick leaves make it hardier than other velvet species I grow), and luxurians (great glossy/bullate leaf but slow growing)
Can you elaborate more on the care for could forest anthurium? I've had a cutucuense for a couple weeks now and I'm having a hard time finding care info for it. Thank you!
I haven’t grown that particular species so I couldn’t give specific care tips. Ask in an anthurium Facebook group like “Anthurium Addicts” and hopefully someone who has grown and cared for that species can help!
This was a great, very informative video! I am just now starting to expand my anthurium collection! I got two today! A Forgetii and a Luxurians x Radicans! 🥰
Great overview. I just had to pull out my Clarinervium tonight to address some root rot! 😩 Hopefully I caught it in time and it will bounce back. There were still lots of healthy roots and the stem was firm. 🤞🤞🤞 It’s been doing very well in pon substrate, but I may have added water to the reservoir too soon or overfilled. Your video gave me hope! Beautiful footage.
@@plantgayforlife really hoping it does!!! I’ve had it since it was a seedling and it was finally starting to upsize the leaves! It recently bloomed, too.
Thank you for this informative video 🙏 I've only got two Anthuriums in my home at present. A clarinervium and a pallidiflorum. Maybe I'll try that semi-hydro approach.

Having yours in glass vases and in sphagnum moss, when do you water yours? Is it like pon where you keep the water level constant within the vase?
I water until water collects at the bottom in the freedraining base

Is it still alive? What light do you use? Growlight or just room lamp?
This is gold for someone like me buying anthuriums first time in my life (and I bought 4 of them to start with lol) and quickly jumping onto youtube for some guidance. Quick q though: Does a combination of lecca+perlite+Pon+spagmoss work for anthuriums?
It can depending on your watering schedule. That’s a fast draining and quick drying substrate so it will require a more frequent watering routine
Thank you very much I think my Anthurium plant has a root rot problem because of water my leaves are turning brown and I don't know what to do but after watching your video I presume that it may be root rot problem.
Thank you! Check those roots!
Hello 👋
I just bought a small Veitchii. I will be transitioning it to leca because I put most plants in that substrate. Can I ask how I would mimic the sphagnum moss mound on the base. Should a plant it with the base snuggle under the leca and then when it grows add a pot extender and add more leca? What do you think? This is my first Anthurium. I live in Melbourne Australia.
Don’t overthink it. Veitchii doesn’t need pampering. You can just use leca if you want
Very good video young man👏👏👏
This episode gets a toot!! Thank you for keeping it simple informative znf i interesting ! 🎉 you stay
Short sweet and to the point!😉😄
Beginner !!!!!! Love it!
You got this!
I'm currently growing my first anthurium from seed (Pedatoradiatum) so this will be invaluable for the time to come even though I'm growing one of the terrestrial varieties, I'll be sure to put my little one in a glass container so I can monitor his root development and humidity, it was one of those things that bothered me and wasn't able to figure out. It does make sense though.
How exciting! yes give it high humidity for a few months until it puts on some size. good luck!
@@plantgayforlife So a little update,
Everything went great and then the little fucker started dying on me, apparently they do not like to have water ON the leaf..... such a diva.
Got it fixed though and the second I got things right he pushed out his 4th leaf (yes he's a he don't ask me why he just is), kinda surprised cause its the first leaf that looks 'velvetty' and easily 8x times the size of the first couple of leaves. Looks like I'm finally doing things right!
Being emboldened by my 'succes' I ordered more seeds.... crystalinum, gloriosum and waroqueanum are now happily growing next to their big brother in their tiny drainage hole free transparent plastic cups and they are thriving! Can' t wait for them to put on some size.
@@theroyalpotato8390 that's exciting news! im happy to hear you haven't been discouraged by your seedling's setback. it still happens to me sometimes so you're doing nothing wrong! thanks for sharing the update!
I’m a newbie and ❤ this content!!!
Welcome to the mess! 😊
Hey there, so i currently have a cutting, single stem with some roots but the leaf has some browning, so I cut the leaf
If there’s one leaf, leave it on until it falls off on its own. A green stem can still grow roots and a new growth point if you keep it in water and keep the light bright.
I have found not using soil in my mix causes them to dry too quickly, at least in my environment. I use the same mix as I do for my other aroids, and they seem pretty happy.
Nice, it’s always smart to experiment. Everyone’s mix should be a little different to fit their watering schedule and environment:)
I’ve only ever had “grocery store” anthuriums - you know the ones, they have the bright red flower they last a long time. I didn’t realize there are so many different kinds of anthuriums. I think I’d like to try growing one that has velvety leaves. Can you tell me one that would be suitable for someone who is a) intermediate plant person, but b) anthurium beginner? Thanks!!
Clarinervium is a great beginner velvet leaf anthurium (and one of the most beautiful plants ever)
I just subscribe to your channel so far this video is on point thank u so much for explaining step by step🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
Welcome!
I'm currently not growing any anthuriums but it is my 2023 plant goal to get one! I really appreciated your video. Which one do you think would be a good 'beginner' anthurium? Thanks!
It honestly depends on what catches your eye since there's such a variety! Two visually contrasting species I would suggest are clarinervium (thick leaves make it hardier than other velvet species I grow), and luxurians (great glossy/bullate leaf but slow growing)
@@plantgayforlife Thank you for taking the time to respond!
Can you elaborate more on the care for could forest anthurium? I've had a cutucuense for a couple weeks now and I'm having a hard time finding care info for it. Thank you!
I haven’t grown that particular species so I couldn’t give specific care tips. Ask in an anthurium Facebook group like “Anthurium Addicts” and hopefully someone who has grown and cared for that species can help!
This was a great, very informative video! I am just now starting to expand my anthurium collection! I got two today! A Forgetii and a Luxurians x Radicans! 🥰
Thank you for watching! Sorry for the late response. Forgetii and lux hybrids are beautiful!😁
Great overview. I just had to pull out my Clarinervium tonight to address some root rot! 😩 Hopefully I caught it in time and it will bounce back. There were still lots of healthy roots and the stem was firm. 🤞🤞🤞 It’s been doing very well in pon substrate, but I may have added water to the reservoir too soon or overfilled. Your video gave me hope! Beautiful footage.
you got this! if there are good roots and the stem is not rotting, it will bounce back!
@@plantgayforlife really hoping it does!!! I’ve had it since it was a seedling and it was finally starting to upsize the leaves! It recently bloomed, too.
@@laurendao4467 don't be afraid to cut off inflos until it has bounced back, it'll force the plant to direct energy into rehabbing 🙂
This was such a great video thanks
Hahahha "My anthuriums.....they take it all" .... Yeah baby! Yeah!
🙌👍🙌 Great Job! Very Informative!!!!
Thank you for this informative video 🙏 I've only got two Anthuriums in my home at present. A clarinervium and a pallidiflorum. Maybe I'll try that semi-hydro approach.
those are two great hardy species!
