VELVET ANTHURIUM CARE | tips & tricks

[@crazyplantlady5903]

I’d love to see a video about how to use grow lights(and which ones to use) / how to have plants in areas with no natural light. I have only one window and am dying to put my plants around my house where there’s absolutely no light

[@steveneavling9817]

I used to live in a basement apartment with 65 plants and no natural light. I used all LEDs. Benji Plants has a very good video about growing plants in areas without natural light.

[@GoodGrowing]

I've got a video all about grow lights and how I use them from a while back. Worth having a look :)

Thanks Emma. My collection is growing pretty well so far with help from you & KZbin. Thanks so much. 🙏😊

[@GoodGrowing]

aww so glad to hear that! keep up the hard work 🥰

[@Plantmomofthesouth]

I have the one with red flowers. It was a gift cutting from a friend. This one you have is beautiful as well. I wish I have one.

Hey Emma 💚 I love the idea behind this, My beautiful girl sits on my floor and stands about waist high, with 9 leaves in totally the smallest is a teeny 9cm and the biggest is 42cm. I adore this plant even after 2 rounds of thrips in 2020 she has stood the test if time for me. She hits all my wants in a plant, she's beautiful, she has the most intense dark suede like foliage, heart shaped leaves melt my heart ❤

Oh wow that's huge!! I hope to grow mine that big eventually! :)

[@osyros6698]

I always get so hyped up by your theme, I love it plus it suits you really well ! I've never tried growing anthurium because I'm too scared of overwatering them, but I'd love to someday

[@GoodGrowing]

Hehe thank you :) Defo give it a go! They tend to be pretty tolerant. Just use your moisture metre and it'll all be okay!

[@MeAndMyPokok]

Love your video Emma. Even though it's dated 2 years ago. I'm new to anthurium and your channel is one of my references. Love from Malaysia 🌿💚

[@EmsPlantPlaceEmmaLeeFreistadt]

I picked up my first one the other day! Thank you so much!

[@Evelina.v]

Could you make a video about plant pots? Where you get them from, different plant stands that help you have plants on different levels around the house ect.

[@GoodGrowing]

Ooh that's a good thought! Thanks for the suggestion!

[@kjerstiva]

Me, just having bought a baby anthurium crystalinum, listening to the temperature requirements from my old apartment north of the arctic circle, deluding myself into thinking this will be fine 😬😬🥶🤣🤣🤣

[@PlantWithSophieVlog]

This one is in my wishlist plant.

[@Krzyshtoph]

There are these points on my leaves, on my laceleaf anthuriums. They are like impressions, points, like a pencil went on the other side and pressed itself, or like a leaf pimple. The leaves look fine apart from that. Is this an issue? Should I remove the leaves that have this?

[@iScopeOG]

I have the same holes on mines but I bought it that way. I’m now worried because it’s getting yellow dots but I can’t see any pests on it

[@plannersetc2463]

Loveeeeeee your videos. Thank you soo much. I had one question abt them. The anthurium clarinervium, do you use neem oil and soap solution in their leaves too to clean and prevent pests? I just got my first anthurium and loveeee the leaves and got so worried abt cleaning them due to the velvet texture. Thank you sooo much ❤️

[@GoodGrowing]

I probably should use some sort of solution like that to clean their leaves and prevent pests but tbh I don't. If you want to dust them, I suggest using a big clean makeup brush as it works super well for dusting. You can get the leaves wet as long as they are in a ventilated area with airflow. That will help them dry faster

[@plannersetc2463]

@@GoodGrowing thank you sooooo much. That’s sooo useful. ❤️. Thank you 🤗

[@ytsirhc0990]

Would you say grow light counts as bright indirect?

[@GoodGrowing]

depends on the brightness of the grow light but typically the inexpensive ones you find on amazon are. bright indirect level

[@ytsirhc0990]

@GoodGrowing that's what I've got! Thank so much for answering! Love your videos. :)

[@janetshepherd9062]

I would love to see an update on your cousins wall

[@GoodGrowing]

Will be giving updates in the future, most likely via IG stories but will probs mention it in a vlog or plant chores thing down the line

[@aspensuckow8160]

When my anthurium regale wants water he flops over🤣 so he has a stick holding him just in case I slack😂🤷🏻‍♀️

[@GoodGrowing]

Haha I love that!

- Aroid is a nickname, not a family. Araceae is the family. - Care is not the same, anthuriums from one end of south America could have drastically different growing conditions than one from another end. - If you plant is kept in a temp, humidity, and light controlled space, what are seasons? The plant has no idea it's winter outside if you're replicating sprint indoors. Fertilize it normally. - The growth speed of your anthurium depends on the breed, some are fast some are slow, depends on the light as well. These are just a few of the egregious issue I have with your video. It really seems like you're just taking anecdotal evidence and presenting them as facts.

[@GoodGrowing]

I am speaking from my experience and how I take care of my anthuriums as well as from lots of research I've done to help me take care of them. Also the light temp and humidity does change throughout the year in my home because it changes outside and my home is not a 100% sealed space that stays constant. We can do things like use grow lights or humidifiers to minimise those changes but it's not an entire replacement... sounds like you know enough about anthuriums that this video isn't for you, so please move on 😊

[@user-sq5zr4fo7d]

Sounds like you know enough to make your own videos, plus all of these are inherent facts. The video producer cares for this subsection of the plants the same so the care is the same. Aroid being a nickname sounds like a picky criticism, and seasons can be recognized by plants with light difference if there aren’t grow lights. This is a great video for sharing info on experience and was said many times in the video. “In my experience…” @goodgrowing you handled this with grace.
