Re: [Aroid-l] Spathiphyllum ID

From: ExoticRainforest <Steve at exoticrainforest.com> on 2008.11.14 at 12:16:12(18730) Jared, it didn't dawn on me youmight be thinking the plant was dead. I've been reminded by twoexperts that this plant is not necessarily a goner just because thespathe and foliage have been removed. If the stem and roots are stillintact where the plant was planted it will grow again. If the stemand roots have been dug up but not destroyed just replant them. Sincethis is an established specimen chances are high your friend will see arecovery faster than expected. Anthurium species can toleratefairly long periods without water and recover nicely. In fact, if youonly have a descent chunk of the stem with a few roots you can plantthem and have even more plants.

My guess would be a hybrid form of Anthurium plowmanii. Steve Lucas www.ExoticRainforest.com JaredR McKinley wrote: Hi. I was a member a long time ago, and have recently rejoined. I am ageneral plant enthusiast in Tucson. I just had a friend who had a little accident with his plant. Hisgardener hacked it up pretty good. He wants a replacement, but I am notsure exactly what it is. I think it is a Spathiphyllum species. But Iam not totally sure. Here are some image links. Can anyone identifythis for me and even better, let me know where I could obtain a nicelarge specimen? It is a rather large plant, or at least it was beforeit was "trimmed". http://s104.photobucket.com/albums/m173/manihot/?action=view¤t=IMG_6005.jpg http://s104.photobucket.com/albums/m173/manihot/?action=view¤t=IMG_6006.jpg http://s104.photobucket.com/albums/m173/manihot/?action=view¤t=IMG_6007.jpg http://s104.photobucket.com/albums/m173/manihot/?action=view¤t=IMG_6008.jpg thanks.
