[@art0507]

Uniquely Sean. Great effort to keep track & follow up with plants growth.

[@amyfbowers]

As much as I love your garden tours, I really enjoy watching your plant care vids.

[@onlyplants]

Thank youu. Im trying to balance the two.

[@Gitana_Star]

I so appreciate your videos Sean. I have learned so much from you. I used to be unsuccessful at caring for my plants and ever since I subscribed and started watching, I have become a better plant parent. Thank you so much

[@onlyplants]

This comment really empowers me to do more. Thank you ❤️

[@sarahmo6785]

I’m quite bad at caring for anthurium and thanks to this video, I learned a lot. Hope I’ll succeed in making them thrive, they are so beautiful.

[@onlyplants]

Thank you. We get better with time ❤️😀

[@Vibrierente]

I just recently started to care for anthuriums (before I was focused on monstera, rhaphidophora and philodendron). After watching this video I hope I am able to care properly for my new babies 😊 also, I do like that you do the update right after the "before". Makes it really pleasant to watch!

[@onlyplants]

Thank you. The anthurium is very different in care than philos and monsteras. Hope you can nail them

[@matejasvonja3440]

4:44 Probably the best explanation I’ve heard for troubleshooting plants based on their leaves, thank you!! 👌🏻

[@onlyplants]

❤️❤️ you’re welcome

[@tpmcclanahan5272]

You make growing anthuriums look 👀 so very easy…..

[@onlyplants]

I did struggle with them at first 🫣 definitely harder than philos and monsteras

[@Rosalind-b7k]

I love how you insert the 3-month update video just after the original. It's a good idea when roots are circling like that to actually cut off the circling roots so new ones have an easy time growing into the potting mix.

[@onlyplants]

Thank you ❤️

[@sauceokay]

This video got me wishing for a plant care video of you working on your plants with some chill background music (talking optional lol)

[@onlyplants]

Interesting idea. Hehe

[@carolinebaines8735]

Yes, that is a Bessae aff…. It’s interesting because if I let my anthurium go bone dry they’d all be dead. The exceptions are my anthurium from Mexico like my Clarinervium. I am an under waterer so I have to keep mine in no drainage or self-watering pots to keep them happy.

[@onlyplants]

Oooh it could be humidity, when in low humidity, dont let it go to critical dryness. Maintaining a bit of moisture

[@nancyrock477]

I will never click away from you Sean!

I finally found you. I live in Cairns and I needed advice from people from tropical place.

[@onlyplants]

Welcome to the channel! 🙌🏽

[@omaeve]

I put leftover iron bars, leftover from a baby cake over top of my aquariums and set the pots on top Antherium love it there they get a gentle humidity. I do not fix them in anyway so that roots go in the water. Just set the pot on top of the bars.

[@onlyplants]

Cool!! I can imagine them being happy perched on top like that

[@jackiewhitney5031]

I don't have the humidity here in my house so I don't have any of the plants. Very informative info about anyone wanting wanting to start a anthurium hobby collection!

[@onlyplants]

Some anthuriums can take low humidity. The clarinervium is one to look into 😀

[@harrycoverts]

Thanks for the video Sean! As someone who lives in Texas and has low indoor humidity, I'm not sure I can ever get the more difficult anthuriums, but I'm hoping to get a clarinervium and/or a pedatoradiatum for my first anthuriums! They've recently started hitting the independent plant nurseries here so they're becoming more common.

[@onlyplants]

Nice. They thrive with higher humidity but they can live and grow decent in lower humidity. Try some of the hacks to increase humidity a little.

[@SelahCambias]

[@wishingonthemoon1]

Thank you for the info! I haven’t hopped on the anthurium train yet. I do have the basic flamingo flower, but I am too committed to my alocasia collection, philos and pothos collection, and then the rest of my plants to start a new collection 😅 but gosh I love seeing the updates. You’re a great plant dad!

[@onlyplants]

Thank you ❤️ just filmed a lot of beautiful alocasias in Bangkok. They very very trending

[@meredithdavis5167]

Thank you for the updates! I have a lot of these plants in Tucson, AZ - America's Desert Southwest. I run humidifiers giving them 60% or more so all the aroids are clustered around humidity and I have other plants as well. I have found Anthurium to be fast growers too! Maybe they like my warm by day, cool by night, consistent humidity setup? I'm hoping to get an Anthurium sp Morona for the holidays and mount her on the wall - do you think that's a good idea? Most of my Anthurium grow in no drainage with a reservoir below a chunky mix like yours and a moss collar. I love the clear glass vases for seeing the roots! 😊 I was going to mount my gracilis but it arrived needing rehabbing and they sent a second plant in similar condition so the two ended up together in perlite then (could have mounted but chickened out) I put them in trusty no drainage. 😅 I appreciate your advice on wall-mounting the morona! 💚

[@onlyplants]

Oh yes they love the cooler nights

[@onlyplants]

Interesting Ive not grown them in no drainage (semi-hydro) but I can imagine that would work. As long as you can give the morona light (natural or artificial) definitely give it a go. They look great hanging.

Thank you. My Dragon scale is getting really tall, and I wasn't sure if I could chop it and propagate the top. I have it in leca with spag. moss on top and a support post to keep it upright. The leaves are downsizing. I bath it weekly with neem oil to control the spider mites. I live in Idaho, and the house is usually about 40-45% humidity.

Yes you can propagate the top, and alocasias can give you corms in the media which you can propagate also!

I always wonder this mystery! : O The plant somehow "eats" the media, it seems.

I dont know the difference to be honest. Theres not that much succinct information online but maybe Ill come across an expert who can share on the channel.

Thanks, I always learn heaps You don't cut off the damaged / sick leaves , I cut them off ? Am I doing the wrong thing ?

[@onlyplants]

I only cut sick or damaged leaves if more than 50% of the surface is damaged. The plant invest so much energy to put out this leaf, its photosynthesis output is still helping the plant along even with minor damage/illness. The key is to stop the illness spreading.

[@judyperkins4509]

Thanks, I got so much from this video! What do you feed your anthuriums?

[@onlyplants]

Slow release pellets and sometimes foliar spray like growmore brand. Do not over fertilize them 😀

[@andrewc0624]

As always love your video, Sean. I notice that new leaves for Anthurium can emerge from an old leave, younger plants or off-shoot from somewhere else when it gets older. Is this something unique for Anthurium?

[@onlyplants]

Nearly all plants do it, especially when they become mature (some do it more than others) but anthuriums do mature very quickly. They can go from seed to flower in 2-3 years

[@andrewc0624]

Wow, I have my anthuriums in pon and self-watering, and they seem to do well in that medium. Yeah they do grow fast though lol, faster than my hoyas that’s for sure :P

Hi Sean, do you use back the old potting mix when you repot the plants?

If the potting mix looks clean and the previous plant is not diseased/rotted. 100% yes.

are there any beginner friendly anthuriums that can do well in lower light and humidity??

I recommend the clarinervium. Also a lot of the hybrids tend to grow well as they have hybrid vigor

Do anthuriums usually struggle if humidity falls below 60% during times of the day? My draconopterum really struggled during shipment and lost its leaves. Not sure if its adaptability issue or shipping stress. Would love to see videos of how to adapt plants or care for plants after shipping :)

[@onlyplants]

Draconopterum is one that loves high humidity and have high death rate during shipping. They don’t adapt well to new environments

[@pedrocarvalho6391]

So Anthurium like you said don't require high humidity for most species in cultivation (debile and splendidum are some of the exceptions). So as long as you have at least 50% humidity you will have little to no issue with them... however I have seen enough ppl on social media and privately that grow Anthurium in 30% humidity with great success... the important thing is to know your environment and to never let the Substrat become bone dry... so I disagree a bit with that advice, bc while some mexican species like chiapasense, Leuconeurum or clarinervium can handle a wet/ dry cycle, most velvet leaf Anthurium will show their discontent with you if the substrate gets anywhere close to bone dry... Glossy leaf Anthurium can also handle a drying out period, but they also do not appreciate having their substrate bone dry.... considering you have to many plants to manage on your own, I'd suggest you plant them in large pots with orchid substrate, so you can overwater to your heart's content 😊 And for anyone trying to keep Anthurium in super high humidity - Airflow is your best friend... a good fan will be the most important thing in a high humidity environment to prevent any fungal/ bacterial infections... And since Anthurium produce a lot of roots fast, if you are someone who wants big leaves fast, give your Anthurium a pot 2 to 3 sizes larger than you usually would and just be more mindful of your watering... Anthurium grow larger much faster if you aren't constantly repotting and disturbing it's roots 😊 Sean, I don't know if you meant to say "Neam Oil is good for the skin" but guys, be careful, bc neam oil can irritate the skin and cause an allergic reaction so always handle chemicals (doesn't matter if it's natural or not) with the oroper safety gear 😅 Thank you for showing us all of your beautiful plants!!

[@onlyplants]

Thanks for sharing this. And yes should clarify that neem oil is safe when diluted properly and not in its full concentration, just like essential oils 😀 but they are used in soaps and shampoos for tons of benefits

[@onlyplants]

And yes to your point, actually watering depends on humidity etc too. In low or critically low humidity environments I would not consider letting the media go bone dry. And the species require slightly different requirements as they can be diverse

[@melanieg.9092]

Very helpful comment! I was confused by the "bone dry" comment cause if I let mine dry out a bit in my 50% humidity then I get immediate leaf damage 😂
