Using them as Art

I’ve been replacing ceramics and other art pieces I had throughout the house with anthurium. It’s gone better than expected! It makes darker parts of the house feel more alive. This dining room has almost zero natural light due to the large porch built off its only windows.

What is happening to my flamingo plant?

I got this flamingo plant in december 2025, and it's on a little plant stand with my other plants.

When I got it, it was full of flowers and healthy, but now, it's slowly yellowing. Is it normal (I really think it's not) or I did something wrong?

(more information below)

Like I said, the anthurium is on a plant stand with my other plants (peace lily, two spider plants and one aloe vera). It's basically facing a south-facing window, but it's very far from it. It's that maybe the problem?

I water most of my plants at the same time, and when I water them, I give my Alocasia amazonica polly and the, you guessed what, anthurium some fertilizer. Then I don't water them (the alocasia and anthurium) with normal water, because I put 5 mililiters of fertilizer in 1 liter of water/10 mililiters of fertilizer in 2 liters of water.

I somehow can't put more than one image in the post, so i'm gonna comment and reply with the photos of what I described here, in the description, so tha you can answer my question better

I hope you have a good day! 😁

Didn’t think it would happen, but it did 😆

This is one of my HU/KoS. She gave me a semi fused sinus and I’m so excited! The previous leaf showed signs of possibly fusing, but I didn’t think it would. Hopefully, this keeps going, but it could be a sign of stress. This beauty gave me her first inflorescence and it was a pretty good size, in jest I rubbed some pollen from my nearby AoS x Bessae aff. The inflorescence turned back green and has held on strong a month later. She then gave me this leaf and another smaller inflo. She’s a beast💪💪💪
2nd to last pic is her previous leaf, the last is her inflo.

Which one would you keep?

The one on the left is longer and has a thinner leaf and to the one of the right has a much thicker leaf and is much darker. Also has a really nice pinkish skirt. Completely unsure 😭 help me out!

Pros... please reply.

Hello from central Florida. It's a nice collection of mostly anthuriums with some philos. What am I missing in order to produce a LUSH growth? I want to go from average to amazing. Outside screened patio facing east with overhead skylights. Good temp and humidity. Aroid mixture mixed with sphagnum. Half strength fertilizer, FoliagePro, every 2 weeks mixed with a bit of silica. CalMag half strength monthly. Never any signs of burn... or insects. Water when dry, about every 5-6 days. Cmon, share your secrets... I know I can get better growth, just don't know what I'm missing.

Does temp affect emergent color

All of these plants grew these leaves indoors. But I’m an outdoor grower. Once I moved them outside where it’s warmer the emergents became blander - usually a shade of copper or brown /: .. so my question is does temperature have anything to do with emergent colors? I know it’s been thrown around in the community and this sort of proves it but how can I fix it!

So I'm considering these crosses in the future. What do you all think?

I'm looking to get a flatter sinus with minimal, but bright veins, dark color, and narrow, pointy shape. I love that look! Will they even work together?

1st cross 1st pic (Dorito Port X Dress x Carla) X (Indo Port Dark Form)

Or 2nd cross, 1st pic (Dorito Port X Dress x Carla) X 3rd and 4th pic (Mr WW x JV RL self) This one may not have the flatter sinus, or be less narrow probably, but I think it would make a nice looking plant.

Basic anthurium help

Can I chop these down to encourage more growth? How can I save these sad babies that were gifted to me

Just wondering 🤔 is it normal for the same plant, two completely different personalities. One dark and dramatic (I understand this is emerging leaf and the color will change as it getting mature), the other soft and classic velvet.

What are your favorites from your collection?

I've been wanting to get an anthurium for over a year and am finally planning on getting one this summer. My biggest problem is I am ridiculously indecisive and all the variations I have seen are absolutely gorgeous. I was hoping to get some input here about everyone's favorite plants to help me make a decision. I'm pretty good at taking care of plants and have upwards of 30 in my collection at the moment (which isn't bad when you have to shove most of them into a shoebox sized dorm room) so it's okay if they're a little dramatic and particular

Can i use a mosspole or coconut fiber tutor?

My grandma loves anthuriums all her life but she started to notice that it have aereal roots so she is asking me if she could use an tutor and if that could bring bigger leafs 😅

Is CalMag really neccesary for anthuriums in semi hydro? (Leca)

Almost all of my plants are in semi hydro, mainly alocasias, and they are doing really well. A recently transplanted a juvenile anthurium veitchii into semi hydro and it really likes it but i have a bigger anthurium clarinervium in soil. It is beautiful and healthy, I only want to transplant it to semi hydro beacuse all of my plants are in that system and it would be cleaner. I have read a lot of peaple saying that anthuriums needs CalMag not just fertilizer in their water in semi hydro systems, is it true? And if it is neccesary, how should I mix it with the fertilizer and water? I used distilled water and foliage focus to water all of my semi hydro plants. (Sorry for my english😆)

Warocq doing weird things

Any idea why my queen is curling up like this? Add us the whole right side was paralyzed while the left side continues to expand.

The difference that proper lighting can make

I recently found out from some members of this sub that the barrina T5 lights are not very strong, and that in order for them to actually be adequate enough, they need to be no more than a couple inches away from plants (this is why we read the product description properly first lol)

After changing around my grow cabinet set up a little over a week ago, this is the new emergent on my NoID :) Im now seeing new growth on all of my plants faster than I’ve ever seen!

Help! I broke a seedling!

I was clumsy yesterday and somehow in the course of watering I disturbed/snapped the stem of a seedling. It looks to be a clean break. The seedling’s first leaf and root system are still in the starter pot - I put the upper broken end in a tiny medicine cup with some water. Will either part of this seedling regrow (either new roots or new leaves), or am I looking at an expensive mistake? 😬
