Anthurium Vittarifolium care and propagation

The Anthurium Vittarifolium is a very underrated Anthurium that no one seem to talk about. This plant exudes very strong jungle vibes and looks a bit like jungle cacti with just as easy care. The leaves are thick and leathery with an accent line running down the middle. It also puts out these cute tiny flowers frequently. In this video I propagate the plant into 3 and give you guys growth updates on everybody.

Hello there! tx for posting this, buddy (= Oh, I still hunting stones everywhere I go - stones are expensive here these days, like everything else on plants markets - to put in my plastic pots, so I don't have to save money for the terracota pots.. heheh..

Many thanks ill clean up an old one

[@ixxxsn]

Hi Sean, love your videos. Wouldn't potting them up straight in your aroid mix help them get established faster than using the moss, considering they (roots) were already growing in soil in the first place...

[@onlyplants]

Yepp theoretically you are right, but many plants (especially anthuriums) propagate much faster in moss. Something about the airiness and humidity of the substrate.

[@ixxxsn]

Hi I have a question, would it survive if propagated with only the stem and roots without a leaf? Same as philodendrons? Because I accidentally cut the lower stem with roots only when I repotted my variegated vittarifolium. I just planted it too hoping foe it to give shoots 🙏 Thank you.

Mine is going pale so I stopped watering it. Its in aroid mix. I have new growth but its tiny. What do I do. Its in 60% humidity under a growlight but not directly under it Soil drys out in 2 to 3 weeks

[@onlyplants]

If soil dried out in 2-3 weeks it may be too soggy, try to switch it to airier mix? I water my plant every day as it gets dry. But it lives in terracotta, aroid potting mix, outdoors and in very bright indirect light. New growths start out tiny and the leaves do expand in side so give it some time.

[@argeliacastellanos7633]

Can you help me the leaves of my plant is pale without outside, I already tried less water more light and vitamins but the intense green does not recover

[@iraindriyati7373]

Hai Sean… could you help me explaining the difference between anthurium vittarifolium and anthurium bakeri ? Thx alot ..👍

[@onlyplants]

Bakeri is much more compact, and is known to self pollenate giving bright red fruits. They are also harder to find (here in Indonesia) and costs a lot more than vittarifolium

Hi Shaun - I have just got hold of what they call here in Australia ‘anthurium super red’ - I’m looking for it’s correct name and wondering if you would know it - it’s origin is not Australia!

[@giahuynh2941]

How many times/1 weeks should I water the anthurium vittarifolium plant?

[@onlyplants]

It depends on too many variables.. your environment, the potting media, pot type and size, plant age and size… feel the soil and water it deeply after its bone dry.

[@giahuynh2941]

@@onlyplants thank you very much

[@aniiak3786]

My one leaf is pale 🥲 what do I do Its in aroid mix watered when half dry. 70% humidity 😫

[@onlyplants]

Try top dressing it with a bit of sphagnum moss, and let it dry out a bit longer between watering. The moss should seal humidity in the potting mix which gives you more room to let it dry out more.

[@aniiak3786]

@@onlyplants ill do that thank u !

sorry.... i dont want to be rude.... but wanted to ask y do you keep propogating your plants when they aren't very big.... does that do something for the plants.......

[@onlyplants]

It will stunt their growth, reverting them to a younger age. But for all my parent plants they grow multiple branches instead of one. Also the propagated plants will be growing in separate pots. I dont mind waiting 2-3 years for them to reach a mature size. The waiting is fun for me, but its not always fun for others 😛
