Queen Anthurium - Plant Spotlight

[@TheHawaiianPanda1]

A cabinet just for the queen with a single spotlight grow light sounds like it’d be absolutely incredible to look at!

[@merielangharad977]

I'm not on Instagram or TikTok and really appreciate you starting this channel. Great content and love love love Brad 💙

[@sydneyplantguy]

Thanks :)

[@yulia3906]

Same with me. I'm really enjoying this channel.

[@scottfletcher1956]

Same here. If it wasn’t for KZbin I’d probably never know about his channel. Ive completely copied SPG and my plants are growing at record speed, in winter, in Seattle. I love this channel.

[@Z4U3398]

They're called *Queen* Anthurium for a reason. Look at that beauty! 😍 Good job caring for her majesty! 😄👍👍

[@michelleconrey4171]

Thank you! This is probably the best, most informative video on keeping anthurium waroqueanum out there. At least the best I have seen! Thanks for the guidance on leaf turnover due to changing the plant’s environment, the play-by play on the plant’s development over a year, and the definitive proof that it is a climber! These amongst many other tips are sooo helpful! ❤️

[@sydneyplantguy]

Thank you :)

Thank you so much, Jan, for your great content. I‘m absolutely overwhelmed by your plants and your planty knowledge. Yesterday I started with my first moss pole🤗

I'm writing from Cameroon, West Africa. It's always a pleasure watching and listening to your videos on anthuriums. You're a great teacher

[@davidc-l9174]

This is honestly my new favorite YT channel across all genre. And this plant is beautiful!!

[@sydneyplantguy]

Thank you:)

[@deanpereza]

I've watched all your videos religiously. I don't even know why i'm always on your channel because I don't have plants to grow. I'm just amaze how much effort and dedication you put into your plants to achive those ginourmous leaves. Just like in relationships; if you put effort into it, relationship will grow and bloom.

[@justinamontgomery2618]

You need to buy a plant....you may be a natrual :)

[@sydneyplantguy]

Thank you :) definitely sounds like you should get a plant or two, or 5 …

[@Omlittlebuddha]

Haha! Don’t look at it, don’t touch it! 😂

[@jeeii]

I just got a queen seedling, and this makes me so excited to see her a year from now! I can’t wait!!

[@justinamontgomery2618]

Hi! So nice that you are getting your beautiful Queen its own cabinet :) maybe a couple others could live with her until she fills the whole cabinet....that will be nice to come along for the new setup:) looking forward to it!

[@Jayl__]

Really would be interested to see how long it took you to get those mature Cebu blue leaves

[@growingwithlauren9348]

Thanks for the tips, I purchased one and it put out a new leaf pretty quickly. I also have mine in my IKEA greenhouse cabinet. I didn’t know they would grow up on a pole, I’ll have to do that also.

[@bzzzz1910]

How do you actually know that a plant is a heavy feeder? Heavy drinker might be able to tell but how to tell a heavy feeder?

[@Isabella-de7kv]

Plants often get spots in the foliage from malnourishment, that’s how you can tell :)

[@bzzzz1910]

@@Isabella-de7kv I see! then are these spots reversible by giving more nutrients?

I love our videos and growing mature plants content ❤️ But I'm constantly forgetting, that you live on a south hemisphere and all the times when you're saying "in the middle of spring/summer...November" etc, makes me feel such a huge mind fμck 😂 this time I had to even check names of months in a dictionary 😅 Anyway I adore your huge plants and this vid is on point, 'cause I've purchased my own small queen recently. Greetings from Poland btw 😁

[@sydneyplantguy]

Thanks :)

[@ninash9385]

It is so beautiful but i don't think it would like my conditions. Do you know like an easy dupe? These leaves are just georgous.

[@sydneyplantguy]

Mmm i can’t think of one. Not similar at all but apparently A. clarinervium is pretty okay with low hunidity :)

[@thecrystallak3]

Hello! You mentioned that you spray the plant with a pest spray. I couldn’t understand what you said you used. Could you please let me know so I can get some? Thank you!

[@thecrystallak3]

Also, I learn so much from your videos. Thank you for taking the time to make them. They are very much appreciated.

Thank you :) it’s called vitality plus. I buy it from growing grounds: growingrounds.square.site/product/vitality-plus/1057

[@milktea2651]

This was thee most informative clip I've seen thus far! I recently purchased a baby queen in Sphagnum Moss that i keep in a glass cloche on top of a tray of leca in water on a heat mat (end of winter nz) humidity 70-85% 22-26°. It came with a small amount of yellow leaf dots particularly 1 leaf & that leaf hasn't grown in the 2wks 3 days I've owned but the newest leaf that was unfurling once arrived, has grown tremendously, 15cm since. I watered once arrived as the moss was dry then again (only a good spray 3 days ago & today I gave it its 1st fertilised water with Dyno Gro Pro Foliage & I've since noticed the oldest leaf has turned sideways & the spotted leaf has curled. What have I done wrong? I'm new to anthuriums or any rare plants & this plant cost me a small fortune. Please help?

[@sydneyplantguy]

Keep in mind that a plant will drop old leaves when it’s stressed & you only just got it. As long as it has healthy roots the leaves will keep coming :)

[@variegated_stingray]

I can tell you what would happen if you took it out of your cabinet. I had to with mine because the leaves have gotten way too big for my cabinet (80cm leaves)... put her into my living room at 55-60% humidity and the result is that she's only able to keep 1-2 leaves at a time, has big issues unfurling new leaves (it's literally impossible without the leaf having holes, cuts and other damage) and they crisp up quite fast. It's a shame though, they're in my top 3 most beautiful plants but I do not have and can not have a walk-in grow tent.

[@sydneyplantguy]

Thanks for sharing !! Better organise a better cabinet then hehe :)

[@LarsLarsen77]

I've got multiple large grow tents. I would die if I had to keep all my plants in a small ikea cabinet. I have a 4'x4' in my living room.

[@aidensiessmayer5615]

HIIII I LOVE YOUR PLANTS

[@jasonh402]

Wondering if the chop and extend method is still applicable for anthuriums?

[@sydneyplantguy]

Chop & extend is just a propagation technique. Suppose you don’t often see anthuriums grown on moss poles but technically yes you can.

[@jasonh402]

@@sydneyplantguy Honestly it's the first time. Glad that you did it and excited to see its journey on a moss pole growing vertically.

[@bailey2913]

Where do you get the pollen, do you have another queen?

[@Rare.Plants.and.Pitbulls]

Hey, can you do a video on ring of fire philodendron? People have questioned putting it on a pole, but I’ve seen one in your house!

[@sydneyplantguy]

It’s still small so have not much to say but it’s a slow climber so you can definitely pop it on a pole but u don’t have to

[@joedaniel8603]

Hello,What kind of medium do you have yours planted in?

[@szymonlabedzki3896]

I never messure, i just wing it, sorry :/

[@lorifenner4048]

My queen is in 50% humidity in the open room.Her existing leaf seems to be happy. We’ll see if the new leaf is too small 😢

[@pudgyplanter1130]

PLEASE HELP!! I have just bought my 3rd queen. All from same place.( Equargenera) And same thing keeps happening. It starts off great. I keep them in my Milsbo with heat pad. But every single one has leaf curl. I make sure she is warm. The Medium is chunky with charcole, perlite, orchid bark, small bit of compost, she is under a grow light. NO pests. No root rot, in fact the root look great! So what the heck!! I can't seem to figure it out.

[@sydneyplantguy]

They like a lot of humidity & are thirsty so you might need to water more often. Or it could be more sinister and be an infection. Maybe don’t keep getting it from the same place

[@pudgyplanter1130]

@@sydneyplantguy thank you! I think it might be a water issue. i really wait as long as I can.because I fear root rot. I thought the same about the place but all the other plants I buy are perfect. But yes. I will look into everything. Thanks a million! xoxo Lovee your videos! And your collection is exceptional!!

[@sydneyplantguy]

Well I say it as it is, the internet is a crazy place so I gotta be considerate with what I claim to know. i’m no horticulturalist or botanist. I’m just a hobby grower who understand their environment well and acts accordingly :) there are people out there who actually understand all this on a scientific level & i’m nowhere near their knowledge. BUT good things is that none of this matters as long as you are enjoying what you’re doing :)
