Queen Anthurium Warocqueanum growth-sphagnum moss vs aroid mix- Anthurium Luxurians and Regale care

[@mistypuckett8795]

This is super helpful! I really like the way you did this. It’s not overly inundating with the history of anthuriums 😅like some people do. It’s straight to the point with useful info. You’ve experienced impressive growth with your anthuriums. I have two queens, lux x rad, mag and some other hybrids. I’m relatively new still though

[@growproteas1148]

thanks so much... good luck with your plants...

[@NaTyra6411]

This is a great video with detailed info which I truly appreciate! The reason for the difference in your internodel spacing b/t moss and soil is most likely because the ones grown in soil are growing faster, so they are larger and the nodes are more spaced out. The ones in moss have access to fewer nutrients so they are growing slower, allowing for compact growth with much shorter internodes. Love your set up and your beautiful plants. Thanks for sharing!

[@growproteas1148]

thanks!!! both mediums got the same amount of fertilizer -

[@nicobuchanan2955]

I love this break down of what medium fertilizer/watering humidity and most of all the PAR section. I have been measuring PAR over the last few months and this is the first video I have seen that goes into PAR levels like this for these specific plants. Really cool to see the set up and how each plant has done for you over time.

[@growproteas1148]

Thanks so much!

Hello, I just wanted to thank you for sharing the progress of your plants. I appreciate the solutions you offer and your straightforwardness. I will be receiving an Anthurium Warocqueanum soon and would love some more advice, as well as an update on yours. Thank you for sharing, and I'm eager to see an update.

[@growproteas1148]

thanks - 1 year update soon

[@Crunchyasf]

Thank you so much for making this video!! Its been very helpful. Just got mine from ecuagenera and when I got it I was very disappointed with how small it was. After seeing your plants’ progress, I’ve been encouraged!!! I’ll make sure I’ll remember to fertilize my plants lol I seem to always forget and so they only got fertilized 6 times this year 💀

[@growproteas1148]

Awesome... good luck with your plant...

Great vid! Nice to see the warocqueanums growing out in the open!

You should try coco chunks only , they grow them in the Philippines with coco chunks on a dry coco coir pole and they get massive!

[@growproteas1148]

thanks!

I could use all the help I can get from you on how to help Anthurium's. My leaves keep getting brown on the edges. I already checked for pests and thankfully none I have seen. I use a humidifier every day all day. I grow mine in my dining room as well. Please keep doing videos focusing on your Anthurium's. They are gorgeous great job!

[@growproteas1148]

Thanks! Is your humidity above 60%?

[@WitchyHocusPocus]

@@growproteas1148 yes between 70-75 percent

[@growproteas1148]

@@WitchyHocusPocus maybe the plants are not getting enough water?

[@WitchyHocusPocus]

@@growproteas1148 would to much water also cause yellowing on the leaf edges and browning? I tend to be an over waterer .

I live in Sacramento,ca too! I have been looking into this plant and you definitely inspired me to get one but id rather get one locally instead of shipping

[@growproteas1148]

i recommend you buy a young plant so it will be acclimatized to your environment. younger the better - nse tropicals is good...

I live in San Diego! I know, zone 10b is probably not the same as you in Sacramento, but our hot days are fairly close. Believe it or not, just because I just live five minutes from the beach, we have 80° days in October, often through Christmas, lol. September in Socal is more like 90-95° days. The ocean breeze is basically nonexistent. Can you grow these plants year round outside, sheltered? They all look great, I also love Bonide houseplant insect systemic. I swear by it, for non-edibles, haha. They make an organic systemic, too, that’s safe for edibles. I just found this out! I love sphagnum moss for everything including succulents! I also like orchid mix, premade, and I just amend it some more. I think the larger leaves but less leaves with the aroid mix is due to the the superior nutrition and organic matter, The sphagnum is good too, but not as nutritionally dense as the mix probably, but that’s what stimulates the plant to be tighter, and produce more. Kind of like succulents… if they’re grown in too dark of light, they get greener, absorb more moisture, exhale less of it, and risk rot… but they are generally healthy.p if you watch the water. On the contrary, give plants/succulents more light, with minimal substrate, and the growth is tighter and denser. Plus colors are often enhanced. It all boils down to stressing the plant, it’s a fine line. Lol. Make ‘em shake in their boots a little, I’ve heard someone say once. Deprive them of just enough of something, be it light or water or nutrients, and the form and colors often improve,

[@growproteas1148]

thanks for the note - I think you should try one plant outside and see how it does - I put a melanochrysum outside 2 weeks ago as the weather isn't as hot now and it doing well. The sphagnum plant had the tighter node growth...

thanks!

[@justinamontgomery2618]

Beautiful beautiful plants! I have an Anthurium Bessea shipping in the mail! I struggle with some, and others are doing great...my Dark Form Forgettii is doing wonderful....it is in the moss it came with! Highly recommend this one!...So you do like moss better than aroid mix for the queen? I got my queen this summer with 3 leaves and one leaf has slowly died away....she is alive but not thriving.....I moved her to a different spot with a couple other anthuriums and so far they like it! I love them all...and please share when you add anymore to your collection! Thanks so much for sharing with us!

[@growproteas1148]

thanks! I think when you can group the plants together it increases the humidity and they grow better. yes liking the moss for my plants

[@WindPhotography]

How did you grow moss of top of your plants? Did you put it there or did it automatically grow on top of the moss?

[@growproteas1148]

it grew there on its own - grows more in winter and less in summer
