Anthurium berriozabalense culture?

From: RAYMOMATTLA at cs.com on 2003.12.04 at 01:06:00(10870) Anyone have any tips on growing this Anthurium? I know it is a native to Mexico but is it a cloud forest inhabitant or drier forest? Brighter light than most Anthuriums? Mine seems to be losing its' leaves slowly. Should I feed it anything? I usually slow down on feeding in the colder months, Thanks in advance, Michael Mattlage

I lost several to leaf burn. Very slow growing species . Michael Pascall, +More _________________________________________________________________ Get less junk mail with ninemsn Premium.

It grows like a weed and set seeds spontaneously often. Very best wishes, Eduardo. +More Reply-To: aroid-l@lists.ncsu.edu To: aroid-l@lists.ncsu.edu Subject: [aroid-l] Anthurium berriozabalense culture?

I know this sounds wierd, but very often plants in limestone habtats actually grow in very acid compost pockets on the limestone and the addition of lime to the mix can induce severe chlorosis.

From: RAYMOMATTLA at cs.com on 2003.12.10 at 02:58:33(10887) Anyone know what aroids specifically like Lime...and which ones detest it? The berriozabalense seems to be doing fine, even after a shot of the stuff so we will see what happens. I have moved it to a little brighter location (and a little less humid). Thanks all for your help. Michael Mattlage

They have both grown well during the summer and stand several feet high. I haven't fed them much at all, certainly not on a feeding regimen. Seems like a very easy Anth to grow, I'm wondering what could be wrong with yours that it's losing leaves. How cold are you letting the temps go in the greenhouse? +More Russ
