I have a gorgeous seedpod on my Anthurium gracile! I am going to be planting them within the next day or so. They look like little ripe berries. I have grown some other anthuriums from seed but this will be my first time with this one. I hope they take!
Fresh Anthurium seeds!
They are very easy to grow from seeds. I have grown them many times. The best way is to put all the berries in a large bowl use your finger and squeeze out the seeds gently after you have squeezed out all the seeds you add more water and stir the water as you do all the pulp will float and all the good seeds will settle at the bottom then pour out the pulps and wash the seeds again and plant. I usually plant the seeds in a plastic container with long fiber spaghnum moss that is moist. Keep them at temps around 65 to 80 and in just a few weeks you should have a few hundred seedlings. Good luck.
Yep, I've done it before (just not with this particular one). Also grown alocasia from seed, heliconia from seed, protea from seed. But I am not Miss Seed, I prefer to grow things from divisions, LOL.
I never wash my seed, just squeeze them out into paper towels and let them dry overnight, then plant them. Someone from Australia gave me that method a few years ago.
I have 50+ Anthurium hookeri seedlings and about as many vittariifolia seedlings growing in the GH right now from that method. Don't know what in hell I will do with them all, LOL
