Anthurium or Alocasia is easier and hardier?

Hey fern, about the anthuriums that aren't doing well, the nodes near the top of the stem need to be buried in the substrate so that the new roots forming at the top have something to grow into. That means you will have to use taller pots rather than short and wide ones. Another way to fix this is to pile a mound of sphagnum moss at the top of the pot to cover the nodes and aerial roots. But it is difficult to keep the moss moist. Another solution would be to chop the stem to shorten the plant so it can sit deeper in the pot. Bonus propagations as you do that. As the stem grows longer wirh each leaf, you should be adding substrate to cover the nodes. They should not be allowed to stick out of the soil too far before being repotted. Hope this helps. Love from Singapore!

My daughter loves the last plant. She wants one. She is 9. 😊

Damn you’re innocently beautiful !!!❤🔥

Can you provide tips for waterlogged soil? I can’t repot this often LOL🙏🏻🦖

Another great video. Don’t think you realize how much your videos help so many people. Not only with plants but company, knowledge, and your pleasant personality! P.S. where did you get the chunky perlite? I can’t find it. Thx

I rewatched the begonia video from last year because I am looking for advice for my baby sarawak.. but I noticed how much your hair has grown and how much happier/healthier you seem. I wish for you a year filled with happiness and contentment. I adore you and appreciate any and all the videos.. 🎄And LOVE your tree… saw it on insta.. oh I was gifted a anthurium seed and its just popped out its 4th leaf and I can’t wait to watch it grow. Its a papi hybrid xFSRL X FS self.. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Anthurium want to stay moist all the time my guess is the yellowing is simply the transition period from where it came from to now at your place.

Hi Fern! Love your videos! Just wondering, where do you get those little clip plant supports? I need them in my life!

So thankful for this on a stressful day! 🙏

Always go big on Anthurium 😊 Your Patreon is my kind of group voting Anthurium! WOOT WOOT!

the new camera looks good; looks like we are sitting across the table from you ☺

For anyone who suffers from Seasonal Depression please try a s.a.d lamp. Plus crocheting in a room with plants helps me alot! 😊

I'm loving all the videos on both of your channels

Your anthuriums are so beautiful 🌿✨

Loving the upload schedule ❤

your hair looks so good long and your natural hair color it really suits you! love all the content lately too on both channels!!! ♥️

Hi Fern, I’m fairly sure that fertiliser burn can damage roots, which might explain the loss of roots on the forgetii x fort Sherman. As long as the stem is healthy then she should bounce back! ☺️

They do great with dramatic upsize in pots. The 💯 result is they get huge. I've started trimming roots and putting in smaller pots now 😂 Good to see you Fern!

that perlite is chonky :P you're doing great with the uploads! i enjoy watching these when i'm working on my own stuff on the computer well listening mainly very soothing voice keep sharing the love of plants i'm trying to reach my friends too taking care of plants helps take care of ourselves and fight depression :P plants are healthy <3

I love anthuriums, especially the ones that grow big leaves. I have only two, Anthurium - Wave of Love (hookerii) and Clarinervium. Sadly, my Wave of Love developed scales, so she has gone outside for rehabilitation. I've seen some that grow leaves over a metre (3 feet) long. I can only wish. I love how leaving the soil to dry out completely between waterings makes care so much easier. You have so many beautiful anthuriums. 💚

🥰

I wouldn’t have been able to leave that perlite root alone either, and if I would have I would have thought abt it everyday for a month after

loving your uploads recently Fern. Such an easy and relaxing watch honestly 💚

fertilzer can definitely burn the roots it happened to me a couple times i repotted some plants and added some slow release fertilizer and they seemingly rotted immediately which is not something i experience often but i thought it was some bacteria in the soil so later on i used the same fertilizer in all of my plants and slowly but surely all the plants i watered through went down hill some were able to recover on their own but a lot had their roots completely melted off so i had to chop and prop that’s when i finally realized it was the fertilizer itself causing the issue

🌵🌵

Always happy to see a new video. You are like my only plant friend even though we don’t know each other. None of my friends like plants 😓

Let’s hope it’s just fertilizer burn! 🔥🪴😢

I have a ton of anthuriums, and I would've also up potted it in the bigger pot. They love it if in a chunky mix and grow like crazy 😊

Enjoyable video. Let us know how the anthuriums do.

Candiace's snoring is making my entire day 🥰

You are really on the role with your uploads. Super proud of you.

Hoya villosa is my favourite hoya. I bought it with two longer branches and since I let it go on the trellis, it's been growing like crazy! I was a bit worried whether by putting the branches to the trellis I would harm her but she lets go leaf after leaf. I love it! I use anything that fits under the pot as a saucer, and I have most of my plants in small/medium pots and I HATE it when the saucer is three sizes larger. You can't find small ones anywhere.

This came at a perfect time. I was watching anthurium videos all weekend and ordered a bunch 😂😂

If I remember it correctly all anthurium with the weird coloring where potted in sphagnum? Maybe they didn't like the low PH Value of the moss and struggled to get all nutrients in the right quantity because of it.

😮 this polish…. I need this. What Color is it please? ❤

Hi Fern!!! Where do you usually get your clear pots? For some reason, I am struggling to find them here in Montreal.

Ideas for future seedlings or props. You could do a Patreon giveaway?

That’s a pretty badass shirt 🤘🏽🌱

It's so confusing seeing you pot the plants in such big pots. It makes totally sense that as someone who tends to underwater and owns many plants to do this. I just know that I would've killed them already because having plants rootbound and potting them pretty tight is my way to go XD Btw I love it that you post so much and regularly. I'm writing my thesis by now and it's always a treat if I can watch your videos afterwards :D

Put the anthurium with a stuck leaf into a trash bag with some water in the bottom, I just throw a cup or so of liquid straight in the bag, then tie it up overnight. Wake up and check it out!

i definetly noticed that you were uploading more your videos are perfect to watch while doing homework.

Very nice sharing ❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉

Thank you for this distraction today ❤ Desperately needed a mood booster after the mostly crappy day I've had so far 🥲 Thank you for always bringing a good vibe to the planty community ❤

the uploads between your 2 channels lately have been crazy 🗣 i really appreciate all the content from my fave youtuber, but i hope you're taking time for yourself too

You look so nice today! Have a happy Thanksgiving Fern.

That would have been the best video for yesterday evening. I repotted 8 of my Anthuriums 😂 I haven't done any plant chores beside watering and pest treating and I tried the DIY treatment too. My whole flat smelled like peppermint 😂

I can never make my anthuriums happy. I use a fairly chunky mix like I use for philos but it always develops yellow edges. I’m either overwatering or under watering and idk which I’m doing. Makes me so sad cuz I love how they look.
