Availability of A. warocqueanum and veitchii

From: "Harold Beck" drewbeck at swbell.net> on 2003.09.05 at 21:27:17(10552) I would appreciate any information relative to potential sources for Anthurium warocqueanum and/or A. veitchii . I would also be very interested in information regarding suitable growing environment. I live in Houston Texas and understand the problems of extremely high temperatures for long periods of time -- and the necessity for controlled conditions. Any info would be greatly appreciated !!

From: Aroideae at aol.com on 2003.09.05 at 23:04:58(10554) harold--- i grow both species in the tampa, florida area in high humidity and shade but without cool pads. i rely on low volume overhead emitters that cycle every 2 hrs during the daytime and on a 54 inch exhaust fan with an automatic shutter at the opposite end of the greenhouse. the double doors on the greenhouse are open all year also, when the temp. is above 60 deg. it's hot here too, but the greenhouse rarely goes above 90 deg in the summer. i maintain 60 deg minimum during the winter. i've had the plants growing under these conditions for about 10 yrs. with no problems. lynn +More > I would appreciate any information relative to potential sources for > Anthurium warocqueanum and/or A. veitchii .

From: "Harold Beck" drewbeck at swbell.net> on 2003.09.06 at 17:13:05(10560) Lynn - thanks for the note - that is interesting - I'm somewhat familiar with Tampa weather - seems that it is somewhat like Houston (I live in Clear Lake - which is down toward Galveston - near the water - hot - humid) - I've been trying to decide on what type cooling to use in the new small greenhouse - and was looking into cooling pads as well as into the fog emitters - I was also considering air conditioning coupled with emitters if necessary - It sounds like from your experience that the emitters coupled with a good exhaust system would do the trick -- the cooling pad people that I contacted were not overly enthused - mainly because of the high humidity here in Houston - but it sounds like for the veitchii and warocq.s that the fog system would be fine - you have periods of high humidity also - right ??

From: Aroideae at aol.com on 2003.09.07 at 00:54:05(10562) harld---i've heard that the fogging systems work very well. i think good air movement is very important for growing healthy plants. it compensates for a world of 'insufficiencies'. i am near the coast, north of tampa, and yes, it is as humid here as in the houston area, but still not the degree of humidity you'd find in the habitats of the 2 anthuriums. i grew both outdoors till i built my greenhouses about 10 yrs ago, and they did fine, but the occasional storms/winds would wreck the beautiful, long foliage. they grew anyway. A. warocqueanum has been at low elevation, less than 100 m, near the coast in Colombia.....so, not so very different from our situations. by the way, i have about 80% shade and grow these species in large slat baskets in a loose, epiphyte mix, with lost of water and fertilizer year-round. my greenhouse is 30 x 45, so a 54" fan is quite large for this size. lynn +More > Lynn - thanks for the note - that is interesting - I'm somewhat familiar > with Tampa weather - seems that it is somewhat like Houston (I live in Clear > Lake - which is down toward Galveston - near the water - hot - humid) - I've > been trying to decide on what type cooling to use in the new small > greenhouse - and was looking into cooling pads as well as into the fog > emitters - I was also considering air conditioning coupled with emitters if > necessary - It sounds like from your experience that the emitters coupled > with a good exhaust system would do the trick -- the cooling pad people that > I contacted were not overly enthused - mainly because of the high humidity > here in Houston - but it sounds like for the veitchii and warocq.s that the > fog system would be fine - you have periods of high humidity also - right ?? > > Thanks, appreciate your input
