Anthurium divisions?

From: Dyeingduk at aol.com on 2000.04.26 at 03:05:47(4423) Hi my name is paul and im new to this forum. Please excuse me if this is a newbie question but i purchased an Anthurium pedatoradiatum(i bet i messed up) and it has a fairly long "rhizome" with plenty of roots. I paid what i would consider a little hefty but because i had never seen it before i got it. anyways i was wondering if i can divide the rhizome and have it put out another plant. i only thought of this because for some reason my main plant of Anthurium christallinum died but put out many side shoots. just a thought to get more from my money..thanks in advance for any advice.

From: Aroideae at aol.com on 2000.04.26 at 21:54:33(4429) hi paul, yes, this technique usually works very well on anthuriums. i usually take the original pot, after making the top cutting, and put it in a sealed plastic bag in the shade until new growth is initiated. this works well for me. the point is to keep the humidity up without additional watering, to prevent root rot. +More good luck, lynn << Hi my name is paul and im new to this forum.

Sure you can propagate it by chopping up the stem into short segments with several nodes per each but you will miss out on all the glorious beauty of this monster in its mature form.

Dennis, A. pedatoradiatum Schott is a valid speies seperate from A. clavigerum Peopp.. Exoctica shows a picture of A. clavigerum labeled 'A. panduratum' and aslo shows a picture of 'A. pedato-radiatum' a couple of pages later which seems to be a correct label for that picture.

From: "Don Bittel" dbittel at treco.net> on 2000.04.27 at 03:42:07(4443) Denis, Are you sure that pedato-radiatum is synonamous with clavigerum? My pedatos have smaller leaves, upright inflorescences, and the leaf segments are always joined at the base. The clavigerums are much different, getting huge leaves to 6 feet across, have long hanging inflorescences that resemble something from a donkey, and the leaf segments are almost completely free at the base. I have bought clavigerum under several names that all grow up to be clavigerum. But pedato-radiatum has never grown up to be clavigerum. I have also crossed pedato-radiatum with watermaliense, and vice versa. The hybrids come out fantastic. But I have never been successful with a clavigerum/ watermaliense cross. Any ideas?

From: rharias at juno.com on 2000.04.29 at 00:51:13(4468) Just to add a little to what Lynn posted: Plant Anthurium seeds in groups of three or four to a very small cell pack or small pot (2"-3"). Plants may produce their own natural chemicals to ward off attacks by fungi. One small plant may not produce enough, and too many plants together may provide too tempting a treat. Anthuriums may require fungi in order to grow correctly. So using a broad spectrum fungicide may, in the long run be detrimental to it developing. Fertilizers seem to play a very large part in all of this. I have found that seedlings that have been fertilized frequently rarely (if ever) will succumb to fungal attacks. So don't forget the fertilizer. Also I've found that rats also favor young healthy anthurium seedlings. So cover the seeds with a plastic tray cover (which will also provide that extra humidity they like) so that the mice or bushy tailed rats can't eat your babies. +More ________________________________________________________________ YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET!
