Growing Anthurium from seed

From: nonamethefish at gmail.com (Joseph S.) on 2007.10.07 at 22:31:07(16421) I received some Anthurium scandens and possibly A. gracile seeds and would like to hear how you guys start them. According to the sender they are very easy to germinate.

From: LLmen at wi.rr.com (Don Martinson) on 2007.10.08 at 15:10:36(16426) My favorite method for many seeds, including Anthurium is to place the cleaned seed in a zip-lock type bag with barely moist long fiber sphagnum moss. Germination can be easily observed and when the seedlings have formed a bit of a root system, they can be moved to a more appropriate medium.

From: p_vieu at yahoo.fr (pascal vieu) on 2007.10.08 at 16:43:01(16428) I have sown A. gracile and A. bakeri on pure coco fiber, standard (but rather fibrous) peat, as well as 50% peat 50% perlite. I put them in a transparent plastic bag or I put a glass pane on the pot so that the humidity level is 100% and the soil remain quite moist. Temperature should be kept (IMO) between 22 and 30?C. Light is important too : without light the seeds do not germinate : do not bury them ! Regards and good luck, Pascal Vieu +More They are actually quite easy to grow, as well as A. gracile. As far as the soil and ambiance are moist and properly ventilated as soon as the second leaves appear you should be quite successful.
