I was a Philodendron person that always wanted anthuriums. I never got into anthuriums because it felt intimidating. I watched so many of your videos for knowledge and finally have mostly antuhriums now. I hope you realize how much you are helping us with anthurium care

[@youdontevengrowhere]

Ahh thank you Johnny ❤️❤️ that means a lot! 🥹

[@MTulio815]

Anthurium is more expensive than philodendron too

[@cupofjae]

I love how Charmaine is like that mischievous friend who is mildly chaotic and entirely wholesome 🤣

[@JNIFRER]

This is the video straight out of my dreams. My favorite KZbinr, my favorite genius of plant and over an hour long 🎉🎉

[@youdontevengrowhere]

Ahhh thank you so much!! 🥹🥺😭

[@tinstar89]

By far my favourite video! all your videos are so so good! I’m new to anthurium and this video helped me so so much ! ❤

[@PauZakArtist]

one of the best vids on anthuriums in general. loved it!

[@robynburgess3995]

You give the best tricks and tips on what to do with anthuriums. Thank you so much!.❤

[@ealston0826]

I love your obsession with anthuriums. I am obsessed with them as well. I just started collecting them, and for a while, I did. not think I could take care of them but took the plunge and am so happy I did. For now, I am sticking to the "beginner category," but, omg, your Dark Phoenix, I literally squealed when I saw it. That is such a stunning plant. I hope one day, once I have more experience, I can be the proud caregiver to one. Please do PART 2 AND PART 3, or you should make your channels about anthuriums only :-) besides NSE Tropicals and Ecuagenera, any other reputable shop you recommend buying from? I am in Texas. Thank you. Love, love. love your presence, attitude, and your anthuriums.

[@youdontevengrowhere]

Thank you Olie!! I actually think some of the prettiest anthuriums are purchased on Facebook. If you haven’t already, join Anthurium Addicts and lurk around to get a sense of who the good sellers are ❤️

[@ealston0826]

@@youdontevengrowhere Thanks for recommending the group. That is a dangerous place🤣🤣 Stay safe. Sending some belly rubs to your pup, and looking forward to your videos.

[@Yoliplanting]

Such an exquisite collection. That Dark Phoenix when you pulled it out it stunned me. I hope one day it goes down in price to own one. The Wendlingerii you have gives me hopes mine will grow. It seems to be frozen in time. I am going to change its substrate to the one you use💚

[@minervarivera5167]

Yes! Definitely a part 2 😊

[@aquaholic6386]

Love the strappy ones. Want to try them now. 😊

[@captainlovebug]

Omg! I just got a palidaflorum as a seedling and I haven't been able to find much info on how to care for it. Thank you for answering so many questions I've had ❤ Update: I just skimmed through your channel and I'm now subscibed. I'm so excited to learn from you as I dig into my anthurium journey! Anthuriums just do it for me in a way philodendrons don't

[@abbydg]

Anthurium Veitchii is a huge wishlist plant of mine! Yours is beautiful

[@wyattguina3702]

As a philodendron/epipremnum/aglaonema lover, this was super fun to watch! I do one day hope to own a delta force though ☺️

[@you_gullible_fucc]

I SCREAMED LMFAO. I didn't expect this video, and I only saw this by chance because my notifications for your channel were off for some reason. I have a mixed relationship with anthurium but I'm slowly warming up to them. They're definitely beautiful, and I can name favorites (Portillae, Besseae aff, Cutucuense, Red Spider, and so much more), but I wouldn't want to collect them "in excess" because I feel like having too many of them would make them stand out in my collection less? I also CAN'T colllect many anthuriums because they're still really expensive for me in my country. The pallidiflorum may be cheap over there but I'm still gonna have to wait until around december for them to be at a price that I'm comfortable spending. And don't even get me started on the hybrids! My thirst for the hybrids is satiated by me living vicariously through your collection. Right now I've got 2 anthurium, a rad x lux and a magnificum. I got the magnificum in January as a rehab plant, for free! Since then, I've propagated it into two (splitting it in half vertically which was a very bold decision) but it was very successful, and just 5 days ago I cut both plants into 2 cuttings and 6 leafless chunks. Once they grow leaves imma just pretend that they're all different but similar looking anthuriums so that I feel more satisfied with my anthurium collection XD

[@you_gullible_fucc]

Also, are all myco brands water-soluble? I have a different brand of myco that doesn't specify if it's water-soluble but I keep forgetting to add it into the soil, so my only option now is to either repot again or to apply it with the watering.

[@you_gullible_fucc]

And one more thing. Before I chopped up my anthurium magnificum, I could never get its care down. They crisped at the edges like you showed, which is a sign of underwatering, but I also got edema showing at the back of the leaves which was a sign of overwatering. Thankfully I haven't gotten crispy tips on any of my new props now, but when I experience it again I'll follow your advice and assume it needs more water. Loved this video, I'll definitely rewatch it whenever I need to refresh my anthurium knowledge

[@youdontevengrowhere]

Can I ask where you’re located? I would assume that Tropicals or Ecuagenera would be very similar in price no matter where they ship to! (Minus cargo costs of course) Also I think myco would all technically be water soluble but certain companies make them as pellets which I think take longer to dissolve. Perhaps you can DM the company that makes your myco to see what they say!

[@you_gullible_fucc]

@@youdontevengrowhere I can't say where I'm from because a past incident made me super privacy-paranoid, but the currency exchange rate is so low that a $38 pallidiflorum from ecuagenera would feel like paying $2500, not even including the cargo costs! Both ecuagenera and tropicals have had pop-ups here as well, but the pricing is still quite high (~1500+). Local prices on the other hand are still in the high hundreds-thousands, so I'd have to wait it out a few more months. Thank you for the myco tip, I haven't reached out because they've never indicated that it's water soluble on the instructions, so I was worried that mixing myco in water might....drown them?😂 I'll ask them to to make sure, but it's good to know that they'd theoretically be fine. Thank you Alice!!

[@marsf4883]

That was fun, wow never seen a dark phoenix. Def a looker 😊

[@Lovinmyplants]

This video is so appreciated! Got my first anthurium last year, I’ve fallen in love with them. You talked about 2 that I wished I hadn’t purchased the splendidum and the debilis the humidity that those 2 need is crazy. I imported them both the Splendidum last month she lost the leaves she came with grew a new in my care but it’s small, the debilis I have for 2 weeks it has 1 crispy leaf. Hope I can keep them alive. Thanks for the info. I enjoy your videos!

[@youdontevengrowhere]

People have been hybridizing with splendidum and I’m wondering if those are any easier humidity-wise!

[@brooklin_bernek]

Girl my anthurium are growing out of control !! Needing upsizing all the time it’s driving me crazy 😅😅😅

[@horace6851]

such a cool video! Thank you for answering my question :) Also, I'm surprised you don't have a Velvet Mask on your wishlist (papi forgetii, long, velvety, with fused sinus) the pictures suggest it is magical!

[@candib24.9]

Lovedd this vid! I learnt so much esp the edema point😮. I just thought maybe it was leaf damage during unfurling. Im also sold on getting great white now. Charmaine had mentioned to me first for alocasia care and now u here for anthuriums so imma get that. Thank u so much for ur care tips! Goes a long way💚💯. Maybe next vid can be how do u ID anthuriums or what characteristics do u look for to make an intelligent guess? I msgd u on IG about one im trying to ID just to help w being able to give it the right care. Really struggling w it. Whatever u decide to film next im down regardless! Love ur content💚

[@youdontevengrowhere]

IDing plants can be so difficult! I would start by observing characteristics (venation, colour, petiole shape) of plants you’re certain of the ID on, and also post in Facebook groups for identification - although this can be hit or miss! Anthuriums are doubly hard because hybridization is so common

[@Shopgirl2731]

Yep dark Phoenix, me I’m loving them too! What a surprise for me, I was terrified of them in the beginning haha. Re: AOS I just learned that as well. Like one in 10 seeds will carry the dark trait 😮. That’s why pure are so expensive.

[@susie_withe_sass]

hi! i notice you and charmaine mention tree fern a lot. is that more accessible in the uk? (i'm in the us). and why do you prefer it over something like orchid bark?

[@user-sz6on6lz3f]

I agree- Anthuriums are my favorite also. They are beautiful and I consider them easier than Philos or Monsteras. I grow in semi-hydro- which they love.

[@annad9474]

do you have a video where you talk in depth about pons and how to switch plants voer? ive been debating on trying the substrate but have been wary of it

[@suesegar]

Very informative. I also have the problem of emerging leaf dying. Can you please tell me how you use great white on anthurium?

[@Mandi_Hui]

Anthurium Veitchii narrow form that one looks amazing the ridges on the leaves is what gets me loving it. Another one i love is the Luxurians the colour of the new leaf when it comes out and also the deep veining looks so 3D reminds me a bit like the Alocasia Dragon Scale. These two definitely would love to own. I bought the Anthurium Silver Bush few weeks ago that i saw at my plant store at a good price my first one wanted to give it a try. I notice the leaves turning upwards not flat do you know why they do that. Is in a nice airy mix, soil is moist I don’t let it dry out, and indirect light and my home is nice and warm. So don’t know why still.

[@ssssundae]

I have a Curandero! It's absolutely stunning, super hardy and gorgeous. I'm growing mine just out on a shelf :) It's still a small specimen but it's growing really well and it really is almost black. It's definitley quite expensive (I paid $500 for a small offset) but hopefully the price will drop because it's such a good grower!

[@tashfiqmannan]

heya! love the discussion on myco! so many of us new hobbyists can benefit from knowing this stuff from the jump. what's your take on tricho?

[@stephanieh651]

I love your anthuriums! To convert the temp quickly, double it and add 30. It's not perfect but close

[@bermandustin]

Just got my tezula bvep. Had an emergent leaf in transit. About 2 weeks after i got it and its already putting out a new leaf 😮

[@RandomChick666]

I'm going to grow anthuriums in leca instead of pon.. leca is more accessible to me and I get a better deal. Hope it goes well 😅 wouldn't be able to be on this journey without you, Alice 🙏

[@youdontevengrowhere]

I think leca would work well too! If you’re able to find smaller leca that might work even better

[@pchan8687]

I love Anthurium for all the same reasons 💚 I have a seedling of Dark Forgetii x Dark Phoenix! No sign of fused sinus yet but I'll be watching every new leaf lol

[@youdontevengrowhere]

Omg pleeeease update me on what that one ends up looking like!

[@prajaktashinde4393]

I had similar white speckles on my Monstera. I believe those are thrips in early life cycle stage.

[@EliezaBaby]

Vlog idea request for you part 1 and part 2 with Charmaine a tour of Amanda's house plants and what's in substrate are in and decoation locations of the plants ❤ 🙏

[@Zalyplants]

I know you hate moss but I see a lot of KZbinrs use moss on top of their queen and palladiflorum. Do you recommend? I still have the moss the plants arrived in during shipping and I’m considering adding some to the top of both plants.

[@youdontevengrowhere]

Yes I used to do this but I prefer making pot extensions now with a piece of plastic around the stem so that I can use my substrate of choice!

[@EliezaBaby]

I love your lipstick ❤ what brand and color ?

[@clayrats]

Awesome Antherium video. Thanks.😊

[@youdontevengrowhere]

Thank you!! ❤️

[@ThatGirlShelbyy]

Does anyone know which plant is in the bottom right corner of the Anthurium Queen of Hearts image?? It looks like another anthurium but I know nothing about anthuriums so I have no idea what kind 😅

[@youdontevengrowhere]

I’m assuming you’re referring to the silvery one? Just taking an educated guess here but I’m thinking it’s her red crystal x forgetii!

[@NaTyra6411]

What does RA-5 stand for?

[@glennchua1585]

Do you have a video featuring your journey with your dark phoenix?

[@lookatthatleaf]

A thought to consider regarding the palli, perhaps time for bigger pants?

[@youdontevengrowhere]

You’re probably right 🥲 I’m putting it off because I don’t have anything tall that’s bigger than this one

[@interactthis]

Very helpful. Thank you.

[@lookatthatleaf]

Maybe your situation is like mine, I treated with end-all and all and then got spider mite looking damage which I think is actually from the light since Safers is oil based

[@youdontevengrowhere]

I hadn’t used safers or other sprays on these plants lately so unfortunately I do think it’s mites 😞😞

[@user-bc9mq5ll2e]

Замечательная коллекция антуриумов!

I feel like if people have thoughts and expectations from a KZbinr then that's their own fault! 😅 Its social media! People are going to show the best sides of things. But I like this new wave of KZbinrs showing everything!

[@patriciajay]

Alice what is the ratio of soil to tree fern? I have 3 forgetti seedlings that are 3 leaves so I’m wondering how good they will do in tree fern and soil. Or should I buy pon?

[@youdontevengrowhere]

I use roughly 1:1 soil to tree fern but do whatever feels right for you! I tried growing half my forgetii seedlings in soil and the other half in pon, and I think there wasn’t a huge difference in health and growth rate

[@patriciajay]

@@youdontevengrowhere thank you.

[@houseplantfein]

Yep! I guessed right. I know your love for your Dark Phoenix.

[@youdontevengrowhere]

I need more dark phoenix in my life 😆😆

[@alexclark64]

I have a Goliath that I moved from water rehab (import) to soil and it’s gone downhill even though the roots are great. You have persuaded me to switch to pon to see if I can get it to start doing something. I don’t know i thought soil was a good idea 🤦‍♀️

[@youdontevengrowhere]

Oh dear!!! I hope it makes a comeback - I threw my latest anthurium imports straight in pon in just room conditions and they’ve been rooting well!

[@theblacksunempress]

Have you experienced any of your anthuriums not liking pon? I’m thinking of converting all of mine to pon but I’m so unsure!

[@youdontevengrowhere]

I can’t really think of any anthurium that didn’t like it! But that said you could maybe try it on a rehab first to see if it improves things!

[@harveylim9762]

I’m a full blown tropical and rare plant addicted at this point so I’m always very excited to find a new (to me) plant lover, KZbinr as there is always something to learn from others in our collective community.
