Coconut husks

From: "Jaime Rodriguez" <jaime at matnet.com> on 1997.10.16 at 14:12:12(1445) Hello Aroiders, Maybe I just have the luck of the ignorant. Last winter I came upon an Anthurium Clarinervium with ripe seeds, so I harvested them. I germinated them in moist paper towels in baggies and planted them in Pro-mix. They are doing great. All this fuss about coconut husks is only relevant if you have coconut husks handy. Last time I checked, global warming had not proceeded enough for the coconuts that wash ashore here to take root. I guess I am missing the fine points of the discussion. Are anthuriums more difficult to raise than I have found them to be? Is there some aesthetic reason that makes coconut husks a preferred choice? I don't know how long it will take for my plants to mature and bloom. ( I have 6) I hope to get more ripe seeds from the parent plant in a few more months. Is there a mechanism within this list for sending seeds to share? Jaime Rodriguez +More P.O.
