From: plantnut at macconnect.com (Dewey Fisk) on 1998.12.19 at 05:47:12(2845) A bit of a warning. I have seen seven different clones of Anthurium veitchii. Dr. Birdsey had them before Hurricane Andrew. The clone that is shown at the below URL appears to be the "Colombian" clone. It is the rarest of the clones. The other clones vary in width between the lateral veins, the shape of the sinus and the color. The "Colombian" clone seems to have the darkest green. Somehow, I do not think this clone would sell for the price listed. I am going to order and see.... and I hope I am wrong....

I want to know because I've always had fantasies of growing A. veitchii and warocqueanum in my bathroom. Say it isn't so. William

I mean growth chamber in a figurative sense, not a laboratory sense. anyone can make growth chambers. hermine +More > >Say it isn't so. > >William > >

From: William Perez <wpz at sprynet.com> on 1999.02.14 at 04:41:14(3032) > I seemed to have lost all my files concerning A. veitchii. I pretty much remember the general requirements but cannot recall if anyone mentioned a good potting mix. Would it be okay to mount it and hang it in the bathroom? I also remember someone mentioning that foggy conditions would produce superb plants. Does a humidifier's output classify as foglike or is it still too 'wet'? I need to know because I just got my very own A. veitchii from Tropiflora. I am very pleased! It's in a three inch pot with three very strong and turgid leaves. The youngest leaf is two inches long, the next is 3 or 4 inches and the big one is six inches long. Not a bruise or a tear in sight. It came in an unecessarily large box and packed really well which explains why it looks so good. And for only twenty bucks! I ordered it and received it within a week. I urge everyone to take a looksee at Tropiflora's website and order it. You won't be disappointed. Now, if only I could find A. waroqueanum for about the same price, then I'd be set for life!
