Loved this video it says it exactly as it is with Anthurium. Yes started out with the queen and no longer have her lol. It’s all a learning curve and plants are there to teach us the good and the bad. I’m now loving my little Anthurium collection, starting most of them off as seedlings, it’s so rewarding watching them grow from 2 leaved tiny babies into plants in their own right. 👍💚

I love my philodendrons much more over my anthuriums but your videos have inspired me to venture into more anthurium plants…I recently have purchased a new Peru imported Anthurium Monster after I swore I would buy no more. My Queen is amazing and I’ve even propagated her but other than that I struggle with my Variegated Anthurium Pterodactyl 😓 She hates me. Her roots are AMAZING but she used to have many leaves and now only has one. And just stays like that now 😢 Mere is what I call her.

I only have anthuriums. My easiest have been all the ones you mentioned that are not :-) and they all were my firsts :-) I guess it depends on conditions. For me they all have been light thirsty. Yes, we can manipulate the lighting to make them darker but, if you notice you will see their neck (part that attaches to the leaf) turning to the light source. I have all in a moisture retentive, well draining, aerated mix under grow lights some almost right up under it (the queen is one of them) and she is loving her life. Growing in 50% humidity.

I have both type of plants, and like both. They are very different. Like the variety of leaf shape philos have, but do like the compactness of Anthuriums. Not so fond of how ugly Anthurium leaves can get as they age, and the lack of leaves that can occur, but nothing is as beautiful, except the black velvet alocasia, as the dark velvety leaves of anthuriums.

I'm Colombian. AKA Aeroid Heaven. I moved to Philadelphia and I'm just learning how to grow plants indoors. I know little about growing Anthuriums, other than they, just like Begonias, are finicky and they detest changes in growth conditions. You've empowered me. My goal for 2024 is to grow a couple of Anthuriums. Thank you for sharing your experience.

Who knows, you keep making these educational videos, you might even take a tax write off for the trip.

Love this video! Comparing anthuriums against philos was satisfying to see. I have a few anthuriums (crystal, veitchii, and a magxforgetii) and have been holding back from getting more because I've been thinking my philos are gonna get bigger, but they've only gotten more annoying! 😂 I'd love to see an alocasia video. I feel like alocasias have gone out of trend, but they are so beautiful, and a large percentage of my collection is alocasia.
