Thank you for sharing beautiful and amazing plants lovely collection beautiful

[@AroidDistrict]

You’re welcome, appreciate you watching.

[@LeafyConversations]

I purchased a Doc Block x Michelle and 100% agree with you their phenomenal plants! The leaves are gorgeous and it’s bushy too like yours.

[@KuyaCraig]

I don’t know what to enjoy. The beautiful man or the beautiful anthuriums!!

[@komalthecoolk]

Why this handsome man has this much swag?

[@cruelsister1]

Awesome collection . Thanks for sharing.

[@AroidDistrict]

Thank you, appreciate you watching.

[@jaoc4283]

I am so streaming that branching with hanging cups idea. 💕

[@AroidDistrict]

Nice! It actually saves space. Especially with the one I did for my Hoyas.

[@tenuis70]

That's what's up 🔥

[@JAZMINALOWE]

The collection is on point! & the Fibrosum advice has been noted 😂😂😂

[@AroidDistrict]

Lol wait, I aint in the clear wit my Fibrosum hybrid just yet.

[@Mllascelles1]

Nice collection

[@RootsReady]

The colours and textures in the Doc Bloc is crazy! I'm going to keep my eye out for one of these

[@justinamontgomery2618]

Liked the one at the end it was an Anthurium M? Crossed with the Besseae! So pretty on camera....limey stripes beautiful!

[@blessedhummingbird4]

🔥🔥Collection! 🖤🍃

[@AroidDistrict]

Thank you! Appreciate you watching.

[@LeafyConversations]

Glad to have run into your channel. I was starting to figure out that Anthuriums just don’t put out a whole lot of leaves and sacrifice their older leaf. Your collection is beautiful!

[@AroidDistrict]

Thank you! I’m going to check out your channel once I’m back home.

[@awrkinprgress]

Love the anthurium tree 💚. Your Olive Garden Segway also had me 😂

[@AroidDistrict]

Lol, thank you!

[@cathylocklin3215]

Hey Dave, Your collection is amazing! I love your shirt too.👍🏻 I look forward to all your videos.

[@AroidDistrict]

Hey Friend! Thank you!

[@maxzytaruk8558]

Totally second this^

[@natashaoreilly7072]

Beauties 👌👌

[@mwild5790]

Just bought the Piper Sylvaticum from your Etsy and I got curious and came to check out your videos! I gotta say, I was not expecting to bust my gut laughing with the flower falling off one of your anthuriums; very unfortunate, but I'm glad you left that bit in because oh boy can I relate lmao Beautiful collection!

[@AroidDistrict]

Lol! I hope that Piper makes it ok. Pipers are known not to ship well but I shipped one to a friend to test it and it should be ok. Thanks for checking out my channel.

[@AroidDistrict]

Thank you for your purchase as well.

[@mamalongsplants1559]

Good show, sorry about your flower dropping it was funny though. Have a good time at the Olive garden 🍅

[@AroidDistrict]

LOL, thank you! That Tomato emoji is hilarious.

[@treesepiphytes]

You have a great collection of anthurium’s. I also have been starting to cross my own. I got about 20 seeds that have sprouted and have at least 2 leaves on.

[@AroidDistrict]

Thank you! That’s cool you’ve crossed your own. I think crossing Anthurium will be a long term hobby for me. I’ll keep doing it until I get cross that survives outside in my area.

[@carolstuff]

Nice anthurium collection. Like the 2 philodendron. Thanks for sharing Dave!

[@AroidDistrict]

Thank you!

[@MsNipri]

Dave, your Anthurium Collection is beautiful!!!❤ I see you Anthurium is still looking good 😊 Great video! ❤

[@AroidDistrict]

Thank you so much!

[@EverythingWithToshaK]

😂nooo! The inflo! She said she came she gave and she’s gone!🤣😂 that was funny. I have to send you a dm about the A. Offolterianum too. Mine looks like it had a hard knock life and I have some questions!😂 Btw the room and the plants looks great, like a museum.👌🏽

[@AroidDistrict]

LOL "she gave and she's gone". Thank you, hit me up anytime.

[@alam5808]

Your decoration is impressed. Regards from Minahasa, Indonesia

[@AroidDistrict]

Thank you! Appreciate you watching.

[@ThePlantNerdSD]

🔥🔥🔥. Thanks for Dave for putting on to Anthuriums back in September. Besseae…lots of moisture. It’s like a swamp plant. I do a drainless container with a reservoir at the bottom. Leaves r right.

[@AroidDistrict]

Bro!!! I'm taking your advice, something told me that Besseae was a little water lover. Bout to make sure the self watering pot is filled now.

[@4Azr]

8:45 When you tipped the inflo and to see you in schock like that was really funny, good to see you again Dave and I have to admit this is a nice collection, and about the veitchii - maybe you should try different specimen?, people claim its a hardy plant but I haven't tried it yet

[@AroidDistrict]

LOL thanks for tuning in! I was thinking the same thing, maybe I'll get a better Veitchii or the Red Veitchii hybrid soon.

[@msladyjune3285]

Your A. Petatum is gorgeous even with one leaf. Happy Planting 🪴

[@AroidDistrict]

Thank you!

[@margaretcalifano1617]

That Doc Block!

[@justinamontgomery2618]

Hi Dave! Exciting video....still @ the beginning....I have no luck with the Vietchii either....they have one at BWH's plant co....for around $30 I am thinking of trying again....my current one has a microscopic leaf trying to revive! My Besseae gre another new leaf...but my basement window popped open and drained all the humidity out of my kitchen so.....I just cut it off.....it was huge....so hopefully I get another....I may be giving mine a tad too much light.....it gets a little yellow edge but she is a beauty....ok going to keep watching...yours looks striking on camera!

[@cozyjackie]

The Soul intro tho 💕😍

[@AroidDistrict]

Thank you.

[@fosterfoster9913]

Your anthuriums are super nice. Side note, I have that same shirt.

[@AroidDistrict]

Thanks! Oh you shop at Zara too!

[@fosterfoster9913]

@@AroidDistrict yea sir. I do. One of favorite stores

[@Jbrown99th]

I love a Verrucosum! I personally just have the worst luck with em. I can never keep the spider mites away 😔 all my other tropicals and other plants will be fine but the pest jst always seem to find these lol

[@PearlyThePug]

I have the besseae aff., imported from Ecuagenera too, and it’s one cranky anthurium! I gave it the best conditions in my cabinet and the leaves were still crispy around the edges. Even my warocqueanums are loving the cabinet conditions, but not the Besseae! So I moved it out of the cabinet once there were abundance of roots, and put it further away from the light, and I think it’s helping. Feels like it prefers cooler temp and lower light maybe. 🤷‍♀️ That AOSxPAPIXBESS……..🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💚

[@AroidDistrict]

That sounds spot on with what other friends have told me. I'll definitely put it in lower light. I wish Ecuagenera had more home care/tip videos on Instagram...at least for their unique species. Thank you for this comment!

[@maxzytaruk8558]

That Besseae aff tho 💯💯💯

[@karenmyers9146]

I’ve been importing from tropical plants auction and have gotten some beautiful plants. I’m really enjoying my different types of luxurians and they are growing well for me. I also got a veitchii super narrow that is putting out a new leaf. Very happy with my imports. Hoyas are still my favorite.

[@AroidDistrict]

Nice, I think I'll try Tropicals company. I keep hearing good things.

[@damaris864-s9p]

Beautiful collection. If your anthuriums aren’t holding onto leaves I suggest making sure your soil is acidic, they really need it bc otherwise they wont be able to uptake nutrients if it’s neutral or basic. Also, IMO cal-mag is essential with anthuriums! I water them with the recommended concentration of cal-mag once or twice a month… my anthuriums don’t drop leaves. I literally cut them off myself most of the time for space reasons. If you haven’t tried cal-mag try it! It’s like night and day.

[@AroidDistrict]

Nice! Thanks for those tips. I always thought cal-Mag would make the media too alkaline due to the additional calcium. But I think I’ll try it out.

[@damaris864-s9p]

@@AroidDistrict I also thought that but the way you mix it into your water is essential to counteract that effect. I also treat pests with sulfur which automatically acidifies the soil while treating pests so it’s a double-win. If you have bark in your mix it should acidify the soil as they break down.

[@AroidDistrict]

@@damaris864-s9p Oh ok that does makes sense, I'm gonna try the sulfur spray as well.

[@anndriggers6660]

I got an indoor greenhouse and got all of the really nice rare seedling anthuriums and proceeded to kill all of them before they grew up! I'm done with the rare plants and moving on to orchids! Yours are gorgeous I'm very jealous but I can't do it anymore.

[@AroidDistrict]

I completely understand.

[@wilhelminaulry4663]

Hi how come you don't have an Arthurian dragon. The leaves are really darker than the rest. Very interesting. Your collection is wonderful. I have learned a lot. Thanks

[@janebrewer9326]

Anthurium are so beautiful but I’m with you I want those perfect leaves and it is so hard to not bump an emergent leaf or have some kind of watering imperfections show through. I love them though and I’m going to keep experimenting! In my conditions I think they need more frequent watering. I noticed curling leaves or rumpled emergent leaves flatten out if my watering is on point. I’m so scared of over watering I think I’m swinging too far the other way. It’s a fun journey and I can not wait to see that doc bloc hybrid grow up!

[@AroidDistrict]

I agree, I can't quite figure out the best time to water some of them. But experimenting is what I'll continue doing. Thanks for your comment.

[@raulguerrero7526]

I love how you say similar 😁

[@AroidDistrict]

LOL, let me guess, I add a "U" in to the word. Sim-you-lar 😆

[@angelicamoore4087]

Just getting Into aroids. Bought an radical x luxurians and it so beautiful! Would you do a video on how to care for alocasia zebra as? Thanks!

[@AroidDistrict]

Sorry of delayed response. I think I can incorporate that Alocasia in future videos. I also have an Alocasia video from last year, where I talk about my Alocasia Zebrina.

[@JonielVillanueva-j8g]

Your plant is as cute as you

[@AroidDistrict]

Thank you

[@AgeofPlants]

Great colection bro. My besseae is doing nothing for months..the struggle is real

[@AroidDistrict]

Damn. When that happens to me… I usually un-pot a plant and sit it in water with a little peroxide for a couple days, then pot it back up. But I hope yours wakes back up.

[@AgeofPlants]

@@AroidDistrict Mine is actually good (not yellow) but not growing either. Has light, humidity, fertilizer...Im not the only one one struggling with besseaes

[@StanWatt.]

Dave.... that inflorescence, so saahahahahahahaad LOL That's the shit that happens to me on an almost daily basis lol. At least you'll have pollen to store for the future.

[@AroidDistrict]

Lol, I’m just glad it happened on film for entertainment purposes. I’ll be ready for the second inflo to open up.

[@StanWatt.]

@Aroid District my friend, when you've had three major ops on a spinal cord injury in your neck there are many buttons whooping accidents on a daily basis. My last one left me unconscious and now I have to have my millionth MRI in that damn tube listening to what sounds like loose tools rumbling around a washing machine. It's great fun but after eighteen years of that idiot drug addict hitting me in the face with an axe it becomes weary. Still, it needs more than that to bring me down. 😀

[@juanitagordon5064]

If you use water straight from the faucet can cause plants to deteriorate around the edges, so I suggest you could still use water from the faucet but suggest you save jars to store water until you’re ready to use it. I also use clonex clone solution and foliage focus mixed together,the color should be a very pale yellow or buy a ph solution. I buy growth technology clonex clone solution and growth technology foliage focus.

[@gusdoleaf779]

❤

[@LeafyConversations]

Your Besseae looks like mine that I got from Ecuagenera too. I was disappointed and I am still not sure if it’s going to grow or not.

[@adamsetia913]

Your anturiums are beatiful. Would you please send me some? 😄

[@GreenManGrow7]

Hahaha, my brotha is hungry. He was like shrimp, sun dried tomatoes and pasta. Oh yea this Anthurium lol 😂

[@AroidDistrict]

LOL

[@growproteas1148]

which variety of doc block is this?

[@AroidDistrict]

Zara x Michelle

[@lukki7ster]

I forget the name of the plant, but its in coco chunk, perlite and moss i think. Can you tell me how you water this? Can it be watered like soil?

[@AroidDistrict]

Hey, yes coco chunk, perlite, and moss together can be watered just like soil. The key is to not have too much moss near the bottom of the pot for proper drainage. I water it at the sink like soil or spray with nutrient water along the top.

[@lukki7ster]

​@@AroidDistrict awesome! I jus propped my monstera for my mom and now she askin me not to give it to her in soil. I dont blame her lol, i wouldnt want soil either. So i need to make sure its not too much work for her to water it. Thanks!!!

[@agnesrdcosta5499]

Please make a video for pink princess philodendron

[@AroidDistrict]

I'll try and cover it in a near future video.

[@Dieppaloveplants]

I have a doc block anthurium that i bought feom his website straigth from him Black widow × michelle is stunning velvety

[@AroidDistrict]

Nice!

[@stephaniebuzzella1]

Are you fertilizing your anthurium?

[@AroidDistrict]

Yeah I fertilize.

[@SuperDrefuss]

I’m worried when time to transplant the Besseae that self watering pot will give you horror, trying to remove the roots. I’d get her out. Like Terra-cotta….break the pot to save the root.

[@AroidDistrict]

Lol, I’ve already re-adjusted the roots after I filmed that video. They slipped right out with ease.

[@donnarie101291]

where is your Regale? i could have sworn you had one. The doc and pedatum just went on my wish list...now please go get something to eat....🦐

[@AroidDistrict]

Oh no Regale’s for me. My first one died back in 2020. I’ll get a Regale hybrid in the future. LOL, I love food!
