I feel like I swallowed a whole 300 pages book about Queen Anthuriums. This was so well explained. Thank you so much!

[@ashleyartus1193]

Yes..me too...she's brilliant isn't she? Let's call her " The Queen of Queens". X

[@madeleine_759]

I really appreciate the academic take you have on plants. I love love love botanic history and science (I'm a horticulture major graduating in a few days). Also... 1:10 is so relatable ! You rock the simple makeup, girl! glowin' next to the queen.

[@bunnyyy___]

Finally..somebody sharing in detail what works for growing so called “finicky” aroids in their home, so they can actually see and enjoy the plants they’re growing! 😊🙏🏼 I highly suggest people take some advice/tips from her. The proof is in the pudding!

[@ashleyartus1193]

Brilliant Brilliant masterclass. You're also naturally funny and witty. It's a gift. Thank you...the queen is my next obsession. X

Thankyou dear again with doubts,can I ask?

[@danikak3846]

Thank you SO much for this video! I recently got a baby queen and this is by far the best resource I’ve found so far for how to take care of it! I loved how you went through each of the care requirements step by step, and shared your own experiences. I feel so much more confident about how to go about taking care of my own queen now!

[@maryj7912]

YO I just splurged on my first anthurium (of course it was a queen) and as I'm looking through care videos I remember thinking the QUEEN of Anthuriums needs to drop a queen care video!!! My prayers have been answered 🥺

A remarkably comprehensive tutorial. I just bought my first and now I have enough info to be confident. Thank you!!!

[@jaredpati936]

I’m at the part of the video where said you hope this video isn’t too long or boring. ITS NOT. Thank you for this video ! So informative! I have a queen coming in the mail in a couple days and I WAS worried until I watched this so thank you !

I just got received my first queen today, this video was PERFECTLY timed lol. Thanks for touching on humidity! I’ve been learning a lot about humidity with my calatheas. Great tips

I think the Queen Anthurium is just gorgeous but I'm new to them all but decided to take the plunge with a baby and although it's only been 3 months, she's grown 4 new leaves and is doing great so far! Fingers are crossed..... I am in Florida so maybe that's why she's not died yet 🤔 anyway she is a beauty and I love her

[@jaycruzjr4822]

Just got my Queen yesterday. She's a narrow dark form. I don't use any soil in my aroid mix at all and all my Philedendrom are thriving. I don't like soil so I'll use a little coco coir instead. I'm gonna try and mimic your mix..I'm so glad I live in Kissimmee Florida where the average humidity monthly is about 75%. My tropical plants including rare ones grow like weeds. My Queen is from North Florida where the humidity is lower so it should enjoy my home more then it's last. Can't wait to get her. Thanks for the video it was perfect. Most informative video on KZbin about Queen Anthurium.

[@noelle7714]

Your videos are so much fun to listen to. You’ve sure done your homework. I’m no where close to getting any kind of anthurium but I love the knowledge. Thanks so much.

[@ImStuckInStockton]

Your bits about humidity/air flow outdoors vs. indoors and how plants grow differently in general indoors/outdoors was a huge insight for me. It seems so obvious now. THANK YOU! I was trying to maintain 65% in my fancy plants room but gave up. I think 55% will be perfect. My queen dropped all her leaves but I have one beautiful leaf now. I think I just need to water her more frequently. My spiritus has grown like crazy with the exact same conditions/watering. Amazing video thanks again!!

[@ellbodavis]

The😄fact that you apologized to the queen, made me subscribe to your channel.

[@evrgrltoo]

I'm here because my queen's leaves went limp like 2 days after I brought her home (Florida). My plant was in like 80% soil, so helpful the repotting I just did helped! Thank you for showing us the mix💕 It may also save my anthurium oxycarpum!

[@t.k.-s.4212]

You deserve more subscribers! Videos are so carefully crafted! Keep on going! Thanks for all the advice.

[@ThePlantsMeow]

Thank you! You are so sweet 🥰

[@ccclllaaaiiirrreee]

I love how you came out with this video the day before I picked up my queen! thank you so much for all of this amazing information. I was about to get things so wrong with the humidity

[@jacielopez2280]

I bought a queen seedling from NSE tropicals in october (I live in SE Louisiana). She was doing AMAZING, not a single sign of acclimation damage UNTIL a huge ice storm hit us mid February. The super low temps were too much for me to protect her and on top of that she dried out a few times without me noticing😖. I just moved her to a slightly more shady spot (spring is really starting to heat up here) and increased her watering. So far her roots are fine; I noticed a bit of drying from those few missed waterings, but from now on I’m doing my best to keep her consistently moist. Her newest leaf is still holding on strong but the smaller immature leaves are yellowed. I’m just hoping she’ll put out a new one soon and forgive me for my sins. Your videos are incredible, I come back to them at least a few times every month. I love your philosophy of compromise with your plants! I have noticed an incredible difference in quality from her to my other anthuriums, it’s almost like Enid is known as the queen of anthuriums for a reason😉

[@thepetitedollar]

Anastasia sounds like a VERY merciful queen! 👑

[@tinavourtzoumis5331]

Hi Ela! I love ALL of your videos! And watch them all the time 😊 I’m repeating this one with the Queens and I noticed the difference in your moss poles. You mentioned the product in the video but I didn’t catch it and it’s not linked. Would you be able to tell me what it is please!? So glad your back and your plant room Reno’s are awesome! ❤️❤️

[@pandorar1388]

Honestly, you give the absolute best in-depth info. about plants.....I was on a website about to purchase my first queen, and I watched this vid. You probably saved me some cash because it is winter now, and I'm going to wait for at least late spring to import the queen. When I do get her, I will re-watch this vid. Thank You for the great info!

[@LeafyConversations]

You don’t need a fan if you don’t keep them in a case right? I am so glad to have found this video! I just got one and her leaf was broken off in shipping it crushed me, but I have one leaf left at least.

[@heatherb1443]

I soaked up ALL the knowledged in this video like a sponge!!!! Thank you grande wizard!

THANK YOU 🙏 YOU ARE THE BEST!!!!! I recently got a VERY small one and it’s been trying to push out new leaves but they have been dying off before they can grow. I’m going to try your soil mix, light recommendations, and give her a Lil more TLC. ❤️❤️❤️

[@rmarvel169]

@rayraywhat hi! Have you tried putting her in moss and into a prop box (Sterlite plastic box) keeping the moss damp, until she's got a few more leaves & a stronger root system? It really has made a huge difference in mine but I'm no expert, just sharing ideas 😁 wishing you the best !

[@rmarvel169]

Oh but do be sure to make some holes in it and open the lid each day for at least 30 minutes. Hope it's doing great now!

[@hyperboly]

still the best youtube video on the queen anthurium!

[@PlantJunkyCREATIONS]

I just took a puff of MJ and decided to pop onto the couch, learn me :) a lil' bit about this plant! I just started the video and I already adore her! I laughed as she bumped into the Queen while talking.. continues to talk, trying to stick to her point.. then apologizing to the plant. Totally on a different level. Haha! I feel it!

[@ThePlantsMeow]

Haha thank you for this! You are too kind 🙈❤️

[@xobabycakes86xo]

I love your plant stands.

[@arie_rogers87]

I finally got one. It is not q full plant but q very large chonk with so many growths on it. I'm really hoping to achieve what you are able to.

[@kathleenmurphy2379]

I very much enjoyed your video and from the knowledge you imported to all of us about this glorious plant I almost feel like I could buy one and keep it alive! And I'm sure that was the reason you made this video is because you love this plant so much you would like all the ones that are being sent all over the world two people who fall in love with their beauty to keep them alive. You want to be responsible for their life not their death! God bless I'm glad to see your kitty in the video

[@alpina4115]

The point about the roots growing out of the net pot is sooo true, on my Queen the roots are even beginning to come out on the top again lol! But i don't want to repot her since i know what a setback it is for them

[@orangemoonglows2692]

i'm pretty sure the people who lived in that area knew about the plant. the german guy didn't discover anything. he took it from its native habitat and brought it back to europe is more accurate.

[@ThePlantsMeow]

As all botanists do unfortunately. He genuinely loved the plants though. He died a few years later exploring plants on his last dime. He decided living among them was where he was happiest. I mention him because he is often overlooked in science and he deserved more.

[@meganspence6270]

@@ThePlantsMeow instead of saying 'discovered' - i have heard other people mention when a plant was first 'described' by a botanist. I feel like thats a nice way to give the botanist credit for their work without the colonial implications of 'discovery'

[@ThePlantsMeow]

Megan Spence I agree 100%! The only issue is that he wasn’t the one to describe the plant. He did the exploring and brought back plants for botanists to describe.

Where did you purchase your plant stands for your anthuriums?

[@kathleenmurphy2379]

It looks as if the bark mixture you're using has pumice in it cuz there's big chunks of white stuff. And I know the chart the Orchid mix I use has charcoal pumice I believe it has some chunks of Coco coir but not fine Coco coir just some chunks like as if they were a piece of bark. I know my orchids love that mixture I do add a little bit extra promise and a little extra charcoal to the mix I think I'm going to use the same mix for my Hoyas that I'm repotting. And the only reason I'm repotting them is I have found for Hoya plants that are Hindu rope that I want to pot together and I have some tiny little other Hoyas that were just rooted cuttings that I want to put in a pot together. So I'll probably add soil like you just did for your anthurium mix my other choirs I've had for a couple years and never repotted some people say not to repot leave them alone for years and years other people say re pot them
