Queen Anthurium SIX Month Update

[@EnchantedPlantQueen]

What a fantastic update! No one loves experimenting with queens more than I do (for better or worse!) I bet this gorgeous lady will be huge in another 6 months. Too cool! 😎🌱✨

[@RootsReady]

Thank you so much! Now that I have done it once, I will be doing it again!

[@carolstuff]

Well done Lethius; your perseverance paid off! Thanks for sharing.

[@RootsReady]

Thank you so much!

[@hedgewitch59]

That's thinking outside the square with the bottle. Well done. I've just scored an imperfect one for $10.😍

[@RootsReady]

What a bargain!

[@asbosable]

Love the content Lethius, so much silly, conflicting info and ‘drama’ surrounding this particular anthurium and many others on KZbin. I have my own experiences with growing anthuriums and have been growing them for years. I like your straight forward approach and the bottle moss pole is brilliant. I’ll be nicking that idea. Keep it up and the updates. Good stuff that man!

[@RootsReady]

Thank you so much, I appreciate it! The bottle moss pole is yours to play with!

[@LucyWynder29er]

Oh, wow, babe, she's beautiful, just like her daddy! ❤ love all your videos, I'm so glad I found you as we have the same taste in plants and you give quality advice and are nicely educated about your craft ❤

[@RootsReady]

Thank you! 😊 Thanks for watching... Lots more to come

[@markrouse1301]

Very nice . I lost my queen a while back. Don't think it liked the pon . Very tempted in trying again but maybe with a smaller plant and try your approach with soil and a pole

[@RootsReady]

It's quite a sensitive plant. Hopefully you will be ale to get another soon and this video helps

[@marymiller5824]

Wow!!! great content. I found you because I just got my very first queen. She is massive! I am really torn between pon or soil! uuugh! so stressful! your looks SO amazing so happy you finally have your queen! new subscriber here

[@RootsReady]

Thank you so much! If you live in a warm climate I would recommend pon. If not, I would say soil because winter tends to be hard if Queens

[@LeafyConversations]

I have 4 queens all in Molly’s Aroid Mix 80%, Tree Fern Fiber 10% and Bonsai Grit 10% Mix. Keeping them near a window southwest but getting very little direct sun. They’re in the shaded spots. Enjoy!

[@Carey.S75]

Yay, 3rd time lucky 😂🎉 I'm pleased this Queen is doing well for you 😊

All of my fingers are crossed 😅

[@msladyjune3285]

Alright you’re doing your thing 🪴Happy Planting🌿

[@RootsReady]

I appreciate it! Happy planting to you too

[@TheQueensWish]

Clever moss pole! I will try it.

[@RootsReady]

Please do and let me know how it works for you

[@TheQueensWish]

What!! Amazing progress! Congratulations! 🍾

[@RootsReady]

Thank you so much 😀

[@LeafyConversations]

I am so happy for you! These are my favorite plant I have bought 4 so far LOL! 😆 I don’t want to use moss poles, so I am hoping they can thrive without it.

[@RootsReady]

😆 amazing! This is my third as well... The others didn't fare at all

[@LeafyConversations]

@@RootsReady I am so sorry to hear they didn’t do well. Do you think it had to do with where they came from? Honestly, I think that has to be a big part of it.

[@MyLocsMyPlants]

that's awesome! 🌿

[@RootsReady]

Glad you think so!

[@marciajohnson1825]

Hey Lethius 🌹 awesome video. New subbie N London UK 🇬🇧 here! Ive just purchased a Queen chonk with one strong root coming out of it. Any tips would be awesome. Thanks🤴🏾🌹🥰

[@RootsReady]

Thanks for subbing and welcome to the family! I would recommend you keeping the chonk in a high humidity environment. This can be anything from a plastic container with cling film over the top, a ziplock food bag or a prop bin, anything that keeps the humidity high. I have had best luck rooting Anthuriums in perlite (first place)or moss (second place). Onces it starts to grow leave, slowly reduce the humidity to help it acclimate to your normal conditions. A grow light, or a window with medium light would be best during the propagation

[@sherryporsch9349]

Beautiful Queen😍 I’ve just conquered propagating anthuriums so bravo to you!! Intimidated but it’s not as hard as I thought 😊😂🫶🏼💚

[@RootsReady]

Thank you!! Yes I agree. I didn't know what to expect when propagating it but it turned out just fine

[@TheQueensWish]

[@MrOkay78]

Hello, what is that gorgeous dark plant behind you on the left (in those parts of the video that show you wearing the yellow beanie). Is that philodendron black cardinal?

[@RootsReady]

That is my Imperial Rad

[@markgenie1958]

What kind of moss do u use when you make your moss poles?

[@RootsReady]

Hi there, I use Sphagnum Moss which I buy compacted from Amazon. I prefer it to jungle moss as it retains water better
