A. warocqueanum

From: "David G. Bauman" <DBAUMAN at mail.indyzoo.com> on 1997.02.28 at 20:05:39(446) Can anyone supply me with some information about Anthurium warocqueanum? I need to know where it is from (including something of its habitat; simply South America or even Brazil does not tell me much whereas lowlands/uplands, forest openings, etc. is more helpful). I am also wondering about its availability. I am told it can be difficult to find it listed (if anyone has some to sell or trade they are welcome to e-mail me personally rather than clutter the list). Is it difficult to grow or does it require anything different from the "average" anthurium? About the only reference I can find for it is Exotica which is a little less than detailed. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. +More |================================================================| | David G. Bauman Dawn G.

I have seen it between 200 and about 1500 m. I don't personally know where one can obtain it. It is a slow grower. Certainly I would like to propagate it by have not succeeded. Tom Croat

From: DJLEEDY at aol.com on 1997.03.05 at 05:25:24(455) David, I have successfully crossed to excellent clones of A. warocqueanum. The first is the most common and is the wider leaf form with yellow/white veins. The second is a more narrow leaf, much darker green, and very white veins. I had well over 700 seedlings going at one time from my cross. In 1995, I donated all of my remaining aroids to the Huntington Botanical Gardens in San Marino, California (Jim Folsom is the Director of the Gardens), including a number (maybe 50 - 100 of the seedlings).

From: FAMFORFUN at aol.com on 1997.03.07 at 04:08:20(470) David If my memory serves me correctly it was originally collected in Columbia. I have collected a few specimens through the years. Two of my plants are in flower as we speak. This is the first time I have had any in flower. Im hoping to get seed. If Iget lucky l I'll be more then happy to share. I have had excellent luck by taking 3 foot high totems, covering them with spagnum, and placing the bottom in a small bucket of water .I keep the buckets full at all times. This helps satisfy there high humidity requirements. They also love to climb. Be aware that the humidity in my greenhouse is above 90%. The good news is if you contact me I will give you the name of another person who may be willing to give you seed. I do know that his plants are always in seed in July . If you give me your phone or fax, I will contact you. Also be careful of what you order from glasshouse works. I made the mistake of ordering Warocqueanum. I was told the plants had no less then twelve inch leaf . I ordered two plants, paid $65.00 each and recieved seedlings which where no more then two to three inches tall. I was very unhappy to say the least. When I called I was told if you don't like them send them back. If I ever order from them again I'd ask for pictures first . Just be careful. I hope I've been some help. Good Luck David Levitt
