Hi, I have recently attracted by the beauty of Anthurium so I begin to collect the plant for my collection, since I am new on growing these plants, can some one tell me how to take care of them. I have Anthurium superbum, willford, jemnaii, and finally reflexinervium as shown in the picture.
thanks
Lat
I think id repot those and give a bit of Fertz Paul
Phicks, Did you spot that AE-AE in corner of picture? I think latsyrc18940 is holding out on us! Jerry
jerry is that the Ae Ae Banna?
i had one payed a 100 bucks a few years back lost it tho in a hurracane paul
Oh YES! And what other goodies is he hiding ? Like gaint EE's!! WE must have more pictures! How a bout it Latsyrc18940????????? Jerry
Over the years i have bought 6. Some got to be 8ft. tall and some had pups. Within 4weeks all had died. Most got a dart spot in the middle of trunk, then rotted and fell over. Even the pups died. After 4yrs. i bought 2 more. One has allready died! The other is growing and doing well, well for NOW. Time will tell. All of the pictures of the old Ae-Ae's are on print film. Need to see if they can be transferred to digital some way. Jerry
what ear is that jerry?i use to have about 40 diff types of bannas jerry what do you have for big EEs ? Paul
i saw some EEs a few years back where i use to live they must have been nine feet tall the leaves was at lest seven by ten going to go and see next week Paul
phicks, Having a hard time jumping threads, old age! It's a Anthurium Cupulispathum. Now what thread am i on? Oh yea, this one! Jerry
Sorry for the slow respond, yes, you guy were right about the musa ae banana I had almost for over a year. At first I put it in the shade area, and it grow bigger under the tent,so I have to move to sunny location and leaves got burn. But as long as it is ok, I dont bother to worry about it. The only concern I have is the Santa Ana wind in the winter, it might be bad for the banana tree since the wind is hot and dry. I am not sure it will make it in this winter time but I will wait and see. And thanks for the suggestion repotting my anthuriums, I probably need to buy bigger pot later on. Here is the picture of Banana tree if anyone is interested
A suggestion for those who have Ae-Ae bananas - variegated plants and those with tubers/corms/bulbs need more phosphorus than nitrogen in their fert mix. Phosphorus is critical for biochemical energy transactions in the cells, and also for the production of tissue that lacks chlorophyll. A good way to kill off an Ae-Ae is to give it too much nitrogen.
I'd recommend a "bloom booster" mix (example: 15-30-15). Try it and see!
