I have one growing in room conditions. I have it from chunk and ever since I got it, has only one tiny burn on it because I forgot to water it :)) the transition to pon was seamless and I'm very happy with it.

[@Houseplantygoodness]

Hey Amuza, that's fantastic! It sounds like your Anthurium is loving its home. Just a tiny burn, huh? That's quite the achievement! 🙌 It's such a relief when our plant babies transition smoothly to new conditions. Keep up the great work! 👍

[@sierragenessee]

It’s funny, now that I have some anthuriums, I actually like the slower growth of anthuriums. With philodendrons their speed of growth almost stresses me out…Like hey I just gave you a new pot and you are already throwing a foot over the side!

[@Yoliplanting]

Mine grows in my regular household ambient humidity. It is in tree fern, soil and orchiata with a leca reservoir in a drainless vessel. It is doing very well

[@Houseplantygoodness]

That's awesome, MeiHua16! It sounds like your Anthurium is thriving in your home's conditions. It's always fascinating to hear how different mixes work for different plants and plant parents. Thanks for sharing your success! Keep on growing! 🌱💚

[@gypsylee333]

Do you keep water in it at the Leca reservoir all the time?

[@carolstuff]

It’s a handsome muscle looking plant. Thanks for sharing Memo!

[@Houseplantygoodness]

Thanks, Carol! I'm glad you liked the plant - it does have a bit of a muscular look, doesn't it? 💪 Thanks for always tuning in and sharing your thoughts!

[@tdillonaniawhitaker1200]

I grow all my Anthurium in my home in ambient condition . I grow all my plants out in my home . I do not have plant cabinets or a tent . My luxurians is doing great , it is slow at growing but worth the wait .

[@Houseplantygoodness]

Hi there, it sounds like you're doing a fantastic job keeping your Anthurium and other plants happy in ambient conditions! 🌟 It's all about patience in this plant journey, isn't it? Your Anthurium luxurians is a testament to that. Keep up the great work!

[@KathyGallagher01]

Don’t have a pure Luxurions but do have a Rad x Lux and personally would say it’s an easy care plant and bonus grows quickly, but as you say do not let it dry out. I can honestly say has not skipped a beat since I’ve had it, no leaves lost, or browning. She lives in normal room temp and humidity. Last month it gave me 4 leaves all at once, the last leaf is just hardening off now, I’m still trying to get over that! Lol. I bought it from one of your favs Grow Tropicals and it was around £80 couple of months ago. 💚

[@sherryporsch9349]

I have the Rad x Lux an love it too, so easy. 💚

[@KathyGallagher01]

@@sherryporsch9349 it’s got to be one of my easiest plants, the only one that’s easier is the pothos, and I even struggle with that sometimes 😂. Hope that you are keeping well Sherry?

[@Houseplantygoodness]

That's amazing, Kathy! 😍 Your Rad x Lux sounds like a superstar, and four leaves all at once is certainly something to celebrate. 🎉Thanks for sharing your experiences with me. It's so great to hear when our green friends thrive! 🌿

[@jenn_willey]

I just got this one today! THANK YOU sooo much for this video! 😘

[@luk6085]

Congrats! I am getting mine in a week or two, fingers crossed

[@ConnieP92]

OMG this Anthurium's leaves are giving me incredible Monstera Peru vibes (just diff shape of course) and the growth rate is sort of similar too!

[@SparkleInMoonlight]

Such a beautiful plant 😍 It's been on top of my wishlist. Good to hear it grows slowly - that's exactly what I'm looking for 😃 Only need to make space for it 🤔 Kaylee was saying that's one of the easiest anthuriums, so great that you have similar experience.

[@kjirovec]

I love mine growing in USA in Wi. Regular soil not picky on humidity 40 to 50%. 8 leaves and on my second bloom which is very attractive red

[@sherryporsch9349]

Really beautiful Anthurium 😍 I think I like the back better than the front. Lol Thanks for info on this plant. 💚

[@Houseplantygoodness]

Sherry, I'm with you - the back of this Anthurium is just stunning, isn't it? 😍 I'm glad you found the info helpful. Can't wait to share more plant journeys with you! 🌿

Still don’t have it but it is stunning. Thanks for the info!!! 🙋🏼‍♀️🪴🌿

[@vicky3792]

I’m on my 2nd one. I think I over fertilized the first one. New leaves burned up. Just bought a new one. Largest leaf is about the size of my hand. I have small hands and I’m a woman so about 5” inches. It was $40 which I thought was a pretty good price.

[@Houseplantygoodness]

Hi Vicky, I'm sorry to hear about your first Anthurium but I'm glad you've got a new one to take care of! A leaf the size of your hand sounds just perfect, and that's indeed a good price! 💸💚

[@xcthemikexc]

This was my FIRST anthurium and I bought this year through Ecuagenera. I keep it in my mini greenhouse in a bedroom so the humidity usually doesn’t dip below 75% in it even in the winter, I’m in the US. So far so good.

[@Houseplantygoodness]

Hey there, that's amazing! Congrats on your first Anthurium, and from Ecuagenera too! 👏 It sounds like your mini greenhouse setup is working out well. I'm wishing your Anthurium a long and healthy life! 🌿💚

[@xcthemikexc]

@@Houseplantygoodness Thsnk you so much, so far so good! 🤞🏼 The setup works pretty well. I think I’m addicted to Anthurium after purchasing it now. Haha. I have a couple now but am excited to see what else comes my way. Love your channel 💚

[@mariajesusmorales6121]

Que bonitas hojas guau ! 😍 ; Pero dicho esto , no creo que nunca opte por Anturios , son hermosos ?? ....si claro ! pero soy una mujer pragmática y me gusta disfrutar del cuidado de mis plantas , que para mí , ya son muchas y por causas personales/sanitarias es muy probable que no pueda estar cuidando las plantas durante períodos , e incluir anturios sería complicar las cosas a las personas que me ayudan ! 😉 . Un saludo 👍💌

[@Houseplantygoodness]

Entiendo perfectamente, Maria. Las plantas deben traer alegría y relajación a nuestras vidas, no estrés adicional. Es importante cuidar de nosotros mismos y respetar nuestras limitaciones. ¡Gracias por compartir tus pensamientos y seguir siempre apoyando mis videos! Te mando un abrazo fuerte. 🌿💚🙏"

[@daveoverstreet5148]

Hello, Memo. Have you already done a video where you bust your own myths? Hearing you talk about small pot sizes always reminds me of early days when I thought *everything* I purchased automatically needed to be repotted into a (usually much) larger vessel. Or that any plant actually "thrives on neglect," etc. Cheers from the middle of America.

[@variegated_stingray]

What I hate the most about lux is that if it's the mother plant, the seeds will take a minumum of 12 months to ripen. More often than not, it's around 14-16 months from pollination to seeds. My big one keeps pushing an inflo now with every new leaf (which is about every 6 weeks). I've had a ton of pest issues with mine since I've had it (which is about 3 years now). Especially thrips seem to love my lux, even though the leaves are so much thicker than almost any other Anthurium. Literally every single time I've had thrips, the lux had them and there were always the most on my lux.

[@ingrida1121]

I received a baby one in a mail and it came in perfectly healthy.

[@shevonnenorman8428]

I ordered a large plant from Ecuador and it arrived perfect. I was shocked. Its fully corrugated prehistoric style foliage with very dark green...

[@carolinebaines8735]

I got my Anthurium Luxurians x Radicans on 5/22 ($40) and my Anthurium Luxurians on 5/27 ($50). The LxR has already given me a beautiful new leaf. No growth on the Lux, but to be fair, I found root rot on her so she’s been in rehab. I just potted her into PON (no drainage) yesterday. The LxR is still in the soil she came in (I got her from a friend). They’re both in my bedroom which is between 68-72F and 38-60% humidity (it can get a bit higher when I remember to run my humidifier). They’re both doing great. Very hardy plant in my limited experience. I love it so much I ordered Lux Chocolate and a Lux Super Velvet from Tropicals ($35 each). They’ll be here mid month. I sure hope you’re wrong about it not shipping well!

[@Houseplantygoodness]

Sounds like you're really enjoying your Anthurium journey, Caroline! 🥳 The LxR and Lux variants seem to be doing well under your care. It's awesome that you've already noticed new growth on the LxR. 🌱 Sorry to hear about the root rot on the Lux, but with your care, I'm sure it'll bounce back soon. 🤞 Fingers crossed for your upcoming Lux Chocolate and Lux Super Velvet arrivals - can't wait to hear how they do. Remember, every plant is unique and may react differently to shipping. I'm hoping yours will arrive in fantastic condition! 😊🌿 Keep up the awesome plant parenting! 💪💚"

I‘m on my third. Might be too warm in my space.

[@StalkerNaturaliste]

I'm sorry but no plants from the dinosaur era looked like this :D
